German train company Deutsche Bahn (DB) displayed one of its ICE (inter city express) trains at St. Pancras this morning. The trains are intended to change Channel Tunnel rail travel forever.
DB ran the train through the tunnel successfully in a test over the weekend.
They announced plans to operate ICE services from Frankfurt and Cologne to London in 2013.
Quno’s Jeremy Acklam took some photos of the ICE train while I took some of the champagne bar (I’m kidding, but these are his photos not mine).
Bloomberg’s Olivia Sterns stood out in a red coat and black heels next to the train rehearsing her lines.
