I've only made that trip once, about ten years or so ago, although I've been between LGW and Victora Station several times. So I kept trying to figure out when we were in LGW (if, in fact we were) but it was too fast for me. Anyone know at which time on the video timing that would have been? |

But Google Earth suggests that it isn't very near! -- JohnT |

But Google Earth suggests that it isn't very near! Google Earth is correct. Waterloo is south of Brussels, Zaventem is the east of Brussels. Looks like more north-east-ish to me. Tervuren, now _that's_ east. |

Looks like more north-east-ish to me. Tervuren, now _that's_ east. How about ENE nit picker? Given the legendary traffic jams on the Ring, it doesn't seem to matter where it is. You're not going to get there on time anyway. |
