    I assume the author says Eurostar because it’s essentially a French TGV service that extends to London. The rest of our rail network is made up of constantly overwhelmed, Victorian-era infrastructure and is perpetually on the verge of shutting down, especially in the North of England and in the South East. So unlike France, Germany, Italy, Spain, etc we only have a single, modern, high-speed railway, and it’s called Eurostar.

      It also has National Rail and the London Underground on there separately. Seems the data is UK-centric which makes it weirder that they referred to petrol cars as “gas”.
