High speed

Britain’s first high speed train service has arrived.

• Between St Pancras International and 21 stations
• 200 trains every weekday
• Great value off peak fares
• Upgrades for season ticket holders

Full high speed services are available now from St Pancras International to 21 stations.

With 200 trains every weekday, you can now travel between Kent and central London faster than ever and make easy connections for journeys across the UK and Europe.

High speed has dramatically reduced journey times - travelling at up to 140mph, journey times from Ashford International to Central London are just 37 minutes and from Ebbsfleet International the journey takes just 18 minutes.  More high speed journey times

The fleet runs on High Speed 1 (HS1), the UK’s first high speed rail line between London’s beautifully refurbished St Pancras station and Kent.

At St Pancras you can connect to more Tube lines than any other London train station; take advantage of excellent bus services; and benefit from easy access to rail links to the continent, North East and East Midlands.  London Euston is just a stop away with connections to the North West and West Midlands.
