London to Cologne on Eurostar and German ICE Trains

http://www.eurodestination.com/Rail%20Travel/german-trains-and-getting-to-ger...
I took a few days trip to Cologne last week by taking the Eurostar from St. Pancras International Station to Cologne via Brussels midi. It took less than 4-5 hours door to door. I was with a senior member of the Deutsche Bahn staff who allowed me to film over the drivers' shoulder which was pretty cool.

Isn't the ICE train going to run to London via Amsterdam and Brussels from Cologne? Or has the project been scrapped?

Which Wez Bolton track is in the soundtrack?

@chrisg1947 If you watched the video properly, you would see that there was a change in Brussels

@simpletimes222 Yeah - It will be great not to have Eurostar ruling the roost. We need more choice at St Pancras. More the merrier.

The track level footage starting at 0:59 is the same footage that was used during the Top Gear race to Monte Carlo, between the DB9 and rail.

@wanabeepilot Hopefully the high speed rail project Obama was endorsing sees the light of day, and sooner than later.

@eurodestination Ah, thanks, good to see Germany directly linked to Britain by train

[wanabeepilot]

Really wish the U.S. would invest in high speed rail.
