After departing from St Pancras at 8:34am, we tunneled under most of North East London, and by 8:52 we saw the spectacular Queen Elizabeth II Dartmouth Crossing bridge which carries the M25 across the Thames Estuary to the East of London. After we had tunneled under the Thames we crossed over the Medway River next to Rochester at 8:57, and by 9:22 we were in the Channel Tunnel under the English Channel for the 15 minute underground and underwater crossing.
The pretty French countryside passed by in a blur, on into Belgium, and finally we pulled in to Bruxelles Midi station at 10:34am, UK time, only two hours after we left London. Below is the mighty train that zipped us from the political centre of Britain to the political centre of Europe.
