We report results of our European VLBI Network observations towards M 87 jet at 1.6 GHz in order to study the velocity field. We revealed continuous jet up to 500 mas from the core and HST-1 component. We have not detected any proper motion for the components within first 160 mas from the core and significant superluminal motions from 2.5 to 3.5 c for the HST-1 components. Those are in good agreement with previous observations. We derived proper motions for the components about 160 to 500 mas from the core. Interestingly, the measured proper motions are faster than that of the inner components and slower than that of HST-1 components. It may suggest the possible acceleration region for superluminal features of M 87 jet.
