And can you confirm that the Eurostar crosses the Thames by bridge?
Paul Terry suggested a tunnel.


Definitely a tunnel. Then it surfaces again, before descending back into
tunnel at Stratford to go (nearly) all the way to St Pancras.


It does go over the Medway (i think) on a bridge - the longest bridge of
its type in the world, or some such.

Yes, there we go:

Longest high-speed rail span in the world. A bit like an Olympic gold for
synchronised swimming, but still, something Kent can be proud of!
