The reduced journey times offered by the opening of High Speed 1[1] and the opening of the LGV Est and HSL-Zuid bring more continental destinations[247] within a range from London where rail is competitive with air travel. By Eurostar's estimates a train would then take 3 hours 30 minutes from London to Amsterdam.[248] At present Eurostar is concentrating on developing its connections with other services,[4][5] but direct services to other destinations would be possible.
