how fast does the eurostar go

The Eurostar train can reach a top speed of 300 kilometers per hour (186 miles per hour) on high-speed rail lines across the UK, France, Belgium, Germany, and the Netherlands. However, when it passes through the Channel Tunnel, it travels at a slower speed of 160 kilometers per hour (100 miles per hour) due to tunnel restrictions. This makes Eurostar one of the fastest trains in Europe, delivering quick connections between major cities like London, Paris, Brussels, Amsterdam, and others. The high-speed capability enables journey times such as London to Paris in about 2 hours 16 minutes and London to Brussels in under 2 hours.
