From Wednesday, 14 November 2007, Eurostar departs from London St Pancras, instead of London Waterloo. Because St Pancras International is served by a new high speed rail line, Eurostar journeys are cut by at least 20 minutes.
Passengers can also start their journey in Ebbsfleet International or Ashford International in Kent.
