European rail companies have initiated a series of fast-rail projects that in near future could result in train services from Glasgow to Moscow. The TGV Est. will commence in June and a trip on the TGV will take you from Paris to Strasbourg in 140 minutes; it will also reduce the time taken to travel to Luxembourg and Switzerland. November will see the inauguration of the St. Pancras railway station in central London. Journeys from this station to Paris will take a mere 135 minutes. More plans on the high-speed rail route in Europe include rail routes to the German border from Brussels. Read more.
