From 2003, the journey time from London to Paris has been 2 hours 35 minutes with London to Brussels slightly faster at 2 hours 20 minutes. In November 2007, times from London to the Channel Tunnel will be cut by 20 minutes, when the construction of the full CTRL (to be branded by Eurostar as High Speed 1) is complete. CTRL Section 2 will bring the British portion of the route up to the same standards as the French and Belgian LGV high-speed sections, allowing 300km/h running. Work taking place near Brussels Midi will additionally provide a 4minute improvement for all Brussels-bound services. Completion of the dedicated rail link on the British side will allow a significant potential increase in the number of Eurostar trains serving London. Grade separation of the CTRL from UK domestic railway services through Kent, means that timetabling for Eurostar train paths will be unaffected by peak hour restrictions. After CTRL section 2 is completed, up to eight trains per hour in each direction will be able for travel from London to the continent, moving the likely limiting bottleneck in capacity to the Channel Tunnel itself.

Some Eurostar services stop en route to Brussels and Paris. Current immediate stations are Ashford International, then Calais-Fréthun and Lille-Europe in northern France. In addition to the two main destination cities and their immediate stops, Eurostar also run daily services to Disneyland Paris, a weekly summer-time Avignon service and twice weekly to Bourg-Saint-Maurice, Aime-la-Plagne and Moutiers in the French Alps for the ski season.

From the 14th of November 2007 all Eurostar trains will be routed via the CTRL from the newly redeveloped London terminus at St. Pancras. St. Pancras station is being extensively rebuilt and extended in length to cope with the 394m Eurostar trains with the surrounded area being regenerated as King's Cross Central. Originally the company behind Eurostar had announced as intention to retain some services to the existing Waterloo International terminal, a plan that has been ruled out on cost grounds. Some trains to the continent will serve new stations at Stratford International station in East London and (Ebbsfleet International station) in northwest Kent. Stratford station with be renamed Stratford Regional station when the adjacent Stratford International station is opened.
