Video: Two afternoons/evenings of spotting high speed trains at Boxley Tunnel on High Speed 1, featuring many Eurostar and Southeastern action.
The first spot filmed back in early 2018 did not go too well to be a solo video, the weather was bitterly cold and very gusty out in the Kent countryside, as well as sunset was very early. So I went back in the summer with the temperature being much warmer and a longer period of daylight, it went a lot better so I merged the two.
As always this spot at Boxley Tunnel gave some great moments of high speed action, a few crossovers, a lot of arcing pantographs (seen at night in the first spot) and great sounds of trains approaching through the tunnel and from miles away (particularly with the 373s).
TRAINS INCLUDED:
Eurostar Class 373 TGV TMST e300s & Class 374 Velaro e320s and Southeastern Class 395 Javelins
BONUS - El Al Boeing 747-400 departure from London Heathrow.

Don't even need to see a Class 373 (e300) to tell when one is passing at night! Going to miss that distinctive whoosh when they are all eventually retired. Loving those sparks at night as well! Great vid

No offence mate, more like 0:50. Whether its 0:47 or 0;50, the class 373 is the best train in the Universe!!

I'm booked January the 1st and 2nd 2019 with Eurostar, towards London St. Pancras from Brussels-South, and from London is E320. But Eurostar also told me the chance getting TMST/E300 from Brussels to London is also very high, if that comes true….. TGV TMST 😍

@CHOO-CHOOPlane 5 жыл бұрын

As a whole I would say in France as there are longer stretches of 186mph track out there, but in the UK I'd say Boxley Tunnel.

@CHOO-CHOOPlane 5 жыл бұрын

The Paris and Brussels diagrams vary a lot, but the guaranteed ones are if it calls at Ashford International, goes to Marne-la-Vallee (Disneyland)/Marseille or Bourg St Maurice its definitely a 373.

that prank wouldn't work I'm afraid as HS1 doesn't use conventional speed signs speed limits and signals are displayed to the driver via a display in the cab.
