Eurostar is set to make its inaugural journey from Paris to London via a new 186mph (299kph) high-speed line.
The train - carrying members of the media - will also arrive into St Pancras International station, instead of Waterloo, for the first time.
The new line is expected to cut journey times from Paris to London by 20 minutes to 2hr 15min. It will open to the public on 14 November.
Upgrading the line has cost a total of £5.8bn.
On Tuesday the train will also pass through the new £100m Ebbsfleet International station near Dartford in Kent.
Seven services to Paris and five to Brussels will start running from Ebbsfleet from 19 November, and a ticket office has been opened at Bluewater Shopping Centre two miles from the station.
