With Google's geographical application, Google Earth, passengers at the terminal can use two large displays to get a bird's eye view of any location in Europe.

What's more, they can then swoop down and enjoy three-dimensional 'fly-through' views of cities such as London, Brussels and Paris. The Explore Europe kiosks are free to use.

"This system enables our travellers to discover new places before they depart, which they can then reach and explore using high-speed rail," said Simon Montague of Eurostar.

Google's Sarah McDonald said: "Today's huge number of internet visitors to Google Earth and Google Maps shows that people want to explore their travel destinations before they get there."
