Eurostar in Bruxelles-Midi, Brussels, Belgium, 2013

This was as I was about to board the Eurostar in Bruxelles-Midi. On the Belgian and French side of the Chunnel, the high speed lines are rated for 300 Km/h, or 186 m.p.h., and the Eurostar sets still achieve this very easily. On the British side they can hit 190 m.p.h., at least until they have to slow for St. Pancras.
