Distance to drive by car (cf Google Maps directions) versus time to
make the journey by Eurostar/Thalys train, hence effective train speed
(track routing is not same as road routing):

London-Paris      458km   2h15    203kph
London-Brussels 375km   1h51    202kph
Brussels-Paris    301km   1h20    225kph
