Eurostars at speed on HS1 | 21/1/2023

[@Christubeopher]

You can hear how quickly they are rolling, e.g. whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh, a bit less than 4 carriages per second, 22m per carriage so 88m/s, actual top speed is 300km/h!

[@starfishsystems]

That's a LOT of kinetic energy.

[@Christubeopher]

@@starfishsystems 800 tonnes, 88m/s, so about 3Gj. 12MW engine power so it could theoretically accelerate to that velocity in 258s.

[@weetabix1045]

But then air resistance​@@Christubeopher

[@Christubeopher]

@@weetabix1045 yep, not sure how you would factor that in though

[@aeroflot2379]

The way that they sound like woosh woosh woosh Sounds like the wheels passing by and they generate electricity and it's absolutely not true

[@D445Scilla]

Beautiful shot. Congrats. I subscribe on your channel. A greetings from Italy.

[@railenthusiastabhishek1527]

Wouldn’t Alstom AGV would’ve been a better alternative to replace class 373 instead of Siemens Velaro ?

[@misterbracks]

High speed Art..........nuff said

[@RenaissanceEarCandy]

2:24 I think that train had a cold

[@CheeshenLee-jf4sn]

Voice Crack 💀💀

[@michaelbujaki2462]

Some glitch.

[@Official.ORIENTCAVALIER]

Big shoutout to the last Velaro driver for the signal and even noticing you at such speed!

[@RailandSky]

Great shots - and pretty cool you managed to see so many 373's!

[@kentrailexplorer]

Thank you, always great to see of course 😄

[@02hreblue30]

Trip of my life. London to Paris 300km hr in thr French countryside

[@DelftTrains]

If I lived close to this I would be here every day

[@patrickpeake3935]

Great shot coming out from under the bridge in the dark with headlights and sparks.

[@Orcaben1]

[@domigogms6745]

[@aeroflot2379]

e300: 🚗🚗🚗🚗🚗🚗🚗 Velaro: *PPSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHSSSHHH*

[@marcdupont815]

Une trés trés bonne video surtout le soir avec ses arcs electriques👍👍👍

[@kentrailexplorer]

Thank you, they look and sound great in real life too

[@th3orist]

How comes that in france highspeed trains can go over 300kmh on a gravel foundation while here in Germany speeds over 200 are only done on concrete foundation? Is it simply different laws?

[@TheNewcastlePilot]

Crickey. Wonder how many Volts and Amps that thing pulls.

[@Wielki90]

the sound of Class 373 is just so special

[@PTMSTx373]

I've watched this video once and still curious how you got the camera this close to an e300?

[@kentrailexplorer]

The fence at the tunnel portal goes in towards the track so it’s totally safe 👍

[@PTMSTx373]

@@kentrailexplorer so you just put your camera over it in a stable place

[@RailroudHobby]

Awsome video cant wait to go U.K Trains Spoting again between 29 januarie and 5 februarie coming with new eurostar set 320 from rotterdam netherlands direcktly to london trip of 3 houres drive great video

[@jonathonblacker299]

HS1 top speed is 140 mph, would love to see some videos on the other side of the water stretching its legs

[@Tenebrare]

I remember my 1st ride with it - spent hour or few stuck in tunnel due English having signal errors. Spent more time in that spot than rest of the journey combined. Amazing train, amazing routes.

[@marcdupont815]

La fin est géniale avec les arcs électriques en plus avec le son

[@ezekielfitz777]

Brilliant Brilliant Brilliant video! Especially the final clip! That one was AMAZING! Greetings from Denmark! 🇩🇰

[@kentrailexplorer]

Many thanks!

[@UrLocalDarknessGothicEmoBoi]

NEWLY REFURBISHED CLASS 373 1:32 THE OTHERS HAS BEEN REPLACED BY CLASS 374 AND SENT AND A TRIP TO THE SCRAPYARD 😢😢😢😢😢😢 BUT THERES IS A CARRIAGE AT A MUSEUM...

[@Oscarstrainspotting]

Yes the museum is the National railway museum in york

[@TheseTwoRails]

That night shot wow, well done on that!

[@stefanreiche641]

What? The newer trains here look just like our ICE Velaro D and Neo! They´re shaped the same!

[@Mr21December2012]

Because they are! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Rail_Class_374

[@CoolTransport]

Great video!

[@corrindion]

Fantastic! Thank you!

[@archishooting]

Great video! We used the Eurostar once from Brussels to London's Waterloo Station.

[@utubebroadcaster]

Where exactly is this? Is it near Maidstone?

[@kentrailexplorer]

Yes it’s just north of Maidstone near M20 junction 6

[@SarahCattell-v3j]

Great video, I'd love to do some train spotting there myself.

[@rolandharmer6402]

Impressive views, many thanks. They don’t half motor!

[@mysteryguy5177]

Is this publicaly accessible, and if so, where?

[@guifeme]

Nice spot spottersfriend ❤

[@MouthMuffler]

that looks like it would be pretty painless

[@aluri1997]

Gredt video . Great efforts

[@kentrailexplorer]

Thank you

[@Hobbytrem]

Out of this world!

[@dobbinism]

Very dramatic, great filming!

[@dnvlogs4390]

Wowza,brilliant

[@Orengibson3]

I like 373s more than 374s

[@WilliamNOcommentary]

My dream

[@darksars3622]

Here an idea, instead of use crappie iet for hs2, we use a class 373 on hs2 because it's built for high speed lines its got a high capacity and it would just be a waste to not get some more use out of them.

[@Ro99]

IEPs would never be used on HST. 250mph speed limit but a 140mph train? I hope they’d have more sense than doing that. I don’t think 373s though because they are of an older design and some are rusty from salty Chunnel air apparently.

[@trainworms]

??????????? hs2 is using bombardier zefiro sets??????

[@VictorKPanda]

Wow that's almost fast as a Lionel model train set!😃

[@sonnytaylor7521]

I'm not sure if I'd be happy or scared riding this.

[@kentrailexplorer]

I’d be happy

[@ameerali.ouarda]

@@r.h.8754The Eurostar goes 189mph and has nicer trains sorry to break it to you.

[@trainmatt1]

Excellent footage @Kent Rail Explorer
