Eurostar trip to brussels (with motor sound)

My trip on the eurostar to brussels. Video includes... channel tunnel, 186mph, startup sound.
The Eurostars motor sound is not that really loud roaring sound that you normally associate with eurostars, (which you hear when one wizzes past) this is actually just the cooling fan for the motor.
The actual motor sound can be heard if inside the train you stand at the front or back doors.
I have always thought of eurostars as noisy dull aeroplane like trains. But this time instead of sitting at my reserved seat (in a horribly sound proofed area), I decided to sit by the rear most doors. And when the train started moving to my surprise it had induction motors powered by inverters where the frequency changes in stages (GTO thyristors), a bit like networkers! (when it goes though the tunnel you have to move to one of the other doorways or back to your seat, for some odd safety reason.
I absolutely HATE the way eurostar runs their trains like aeroplanes, and I HATE the need to book in advance, and I HATE the way they have to X-ray all your bags, and I HATE that you have to stand to close to the X-Ray machines. (Despite what they say I reckon that some x-rays must leek out of the opening).

[@trainsppoter]

I love the traction sounds on the eurostars that is a good sound love it good one pal

[@GreatWestern-yp8mq]

When they ran on DC they made a right racket!

[@riverhuntingdon6659]

Remember it well, and all the arcing from the juice rail. On the old CEPs we said when they went by everyone's lights went dim ! Some people from my depot went and drove for Eurostar, and always blew the horns if they recognised me. I'd always blow up and wave back. Happy, more friendly, days.

This is the kind of video I find really interesting. Eurostars are the best. Because of the sound and the speed. I went on Eurostar to Avignon from Ashford a few weeks ago

[@Cuthbert80]

Damn, you really captured the sound of these trains lol, very good work pal

[@Kaden303]

Well, Eurostar is International service...

[@benolifts]

Not really. It only goes to Paris, Lille and Brussels. I won't go by Eurostar again as it is too expensive.

[@Kaden303]

Well ,from the UK to France...

[@QuarioQuario54321]

Rates went down when they stared Amsterdam service

[@Decade_1703]

Now us Dutchies can also enjoy the Eurostars.

Eurostar has a French doors closing horn

[@Jack-hd4qy]

Very annoying

[@ajf3202]

Wish they had an English one instead

[@user-do2rj4sf8j]

The class 321 doors are the best.

[@dominicfindlay]

As its a French train?

[@user-do2rj4sf8j]

Dominic Findlay class 321 in British.

[@elvirleonard]

Eurostar departing Ebbsfleet

[@oforid2227]

Is that a phone how do I get that

[@milkandduckrailway323]

What is that door close alarm?

[@awesometrainsandbuses]

So sad it will be scrapped around 2021

[@ajf3202]

A few have been refurbished so them ones will stay for about 10 years or so.

[@ynysboy3654]

Yay more time to make the most of a Eurostar 373 bcz I’ve never been on one

[@TheRealDorran]

thought it said 18 mph

[@flynny42]

When I was going to Paris, my eurostar was doing around 200! Also, I have some metro vids of Paris and some lifts there that I'll upload for you if I can find them

[@GreatWestern-yp8mq]

You wouldn't have done, the 373s have a top speed of 186mph(300km/h)

[@ajf3202]

GreatWestern 43125 they are capable of going over 200 as one managed to hit 208mph in 2003 i believe

[@oforid2227]

RIP they no longer go to Waterloo SWR has taken over the old terminal also they are going I dont want them to I like it when the engine scares me 😭😭😭

[@lukasturuta8135]

Did I just see the speedometer show the highest speed 192.4 mph at 4:17

[@TheRealDorran]
