Hi everyone, just a quick message in response to some comments below. A lot of you have commented on how the train is moving around quite a bit, however this is not the case. The train is actually very smooth, however, when I uploaded the video I tried an anti shake option which has unfortunately made it look like the train is driving in jelly. A lesson learned and I will not be applying the anti shake to future videos. Once again a huge thank you to everybody for all your kind words and support on the videos 👍

I recognise where this is as I’m a national express coach driver on the motorway m20. He’s running alongside the M20 between Eyhorne tunnel and Harrietsham tunnel going towards Folkestone. Note that ‘cruise control’ or ‘vitesse impose’ is not being used and power is being manually controlled to prevent over speeding down the gradients on the approaches to both Eyhorne and Harrietsham tunnels. Also note that on the substantial rising gradient between Eyhorne and Harrietsham tunnels that speed falls to the mid 280s kph from a maximum of 298 attained at Eyhorne tunnel.

There's a big differance between watching it and actually doing it!! This is in-cab signalling as its over 125 MPH, so it makes it easier but you still have to learn the routes you drive over, being able to drive them in thick fog and at night for example! You gotta know where to start braking so as to stop in the right place etc, you also gotta know where every speed restriction is off the top of your head. Going fast is easy, stopping it in the right place is hard! Also, the rules you have to know off by heart are in the hundreds!! You get tested and mentored regularly and your every move in the cab with controls are recorded.
