UK’s New High-Speed Train Station
In November 6, 2007, Queen Elizabeth inaugurated the new St. Pancras train station in London. The new and modernized train facility is an international rail hub that would connect London to important cities in Belgium and France. This luxurious train station is aimed at gearing British rail technology into an era of high-speed traveling by train. In the future, many of St. Pancras’ proponents hope the hub would springboard a link between the UK with almost all other important cities and countries across the European continent.
The 10-year project is bringing not just high-speed rail service to Britain but also luxurious and very comfortable services. Because of the hub’s High Speed 1 line of rail, St. Pancras, along with the Channel Tunnel, would be connected to Paris within just two hours and 15 minutes, while London would be just about an hour and 51 minutes away from Brussels. The trains would have the capacity to run as fast as 186 miles per hour, which is reduces travel time between the UK capital and other parts of Europe by about 20 minutes and more.
St. Pancras rail station is truly promising. In the future, people expect the hub to be more than just that. Someday, St. Pancras would be synonymous to fast train travels.
