As Eurostar marks 20 years since it connected the UK and Europe with high-speed underwater rail, its numbers really are adding up.More than 145 million passengers have been taken to and from the Continent across two decades, according to a new infographic to celebrate the anniversary on November 14, 2014.Along with facts and figures, the graph reveals some of the high-profile travellers that have step foot on board the train - including One Direction, Rihanna and Madonna.On average, a Eurostar train speeds along at 186mph, not far short of the UK train speed record of 208mph set by Eurostar in 2003. The 750-person capacity of a train is that of two Boeing 747s while the combined length of the carriages is 90m longer than London landmark The Shard.
