The train carrying stars of The Da Vinci Code to its world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival made it into the Guinness Book of World Records on Tuesday, after completing the longest non-stop international rail journey. The speedy Eurostar took Tom Hanks, Sir Ian McKellen, Paul Bettany, Jean Reno, Audrey Tautou and director Ron Howard from London's Waterloo station to Cannes, France.
The high speed train, which usually carries passengers through the Channel Tunnel, covered the 1,421 kilometre journey (883 mile), in just seven hours and 25 minutes. An official from the world famous Guinness Book of Records was on board to moderate the attempt. The top speed reached during the record-breaking journey was 299 kilometres-per-hour (186 miles-per-hour).
