This is the UK’s first high speed domestic train service and it has dramatically reduced journey times from Kent to London. People living in Kent can get to London quicker than ever before, and those travelling from further afield.
Travelling at up to 140mph, the journey time from Ashford International to London is now just 37 minutes. And Ebbsfleet International to London takes only 17 minutes.
More high speed journey times.
The trains run on High Speed 1 (HS1), the UK’s first high speed rail line between London St Pancras and Kent.

St Pancras is an extremely convenient centrally-located station - it has more Tube connections than any other London overground station. It also offers excellent bus and rail links to the north of England, Scotland, and the continent.
London Euston is just one tube stop away with connections to the North West and West Midlands.
And the DLR extension at Stratford International opens in Autumn 2010, meaning easy access to Canary Wharf and Docklands.
