High Speed 1: UK Trains at High Speed! (HS1) 27/08/2022

[@171trains]

Great video of some classic HS1 action, especially with the 373s! I'll be going to the location near Charing next week and this is a perfect showcase!

[@StarlifeStudios]

Have fun 171! 😃

[@Dhdhsjjsz]

​@@StarlifeStudioshi hiw do you add the train where there going into the video

[@BlueBell-e9q]

The 373 noise is just the absolute best.

[@spottymaxy1628]

Very satisfying to see trains outspending car on the motorway

[@telamin1809]

Class 373 is music to my ears 😍

[@duainesimpson274]

Love the map intro!! Awesome way to start video.. Great location, Charing! HS1

[@Trainsforlife89]

I can really sense and appreciate the speed thanks to your splendid filming. Great views in my beloved Kent, where i lived for a full year and i was much honoured to film trains too. Great to see old and new gals on the Eurostar service!

[@StarlifeStudios]

Thanks Panos, there’s also quite a variety of shots and locations here some of which show the speed better than others. The Medway Bridge is honestly so incredible to me, the distance and speed makes it for me! This is not my home region but I can definitely see the appeal! 😃

[@wrzn271]

Honestly man your a great guy props to you for really showing the speed man i wish to go there one day and your vids are why thanks man

[@maimadha]

HS1 is amazing for fast trains

[@Andrewjg_89]

Indeed.

[@gbrdispatcher2254]

Very nice video as normal keep up the great work 🇬🇧👍

[@transportlegendshorts]

Can’t wait to watch this I know for sure it will be great 💫

[@BHXplanesandtrains]

That 373 sound 🤩

[@Traxxas_fan]

I just wish there were more class 373's (the class 373 is my favourite high speed train)

[@Andrewjg_89]

Good location right next door to the M20 Motorway. Eurostar Class 373 and Class 374 are so fast and Southeastern Class 395 Javelins are amazing.

[@wrzn271]

Its hard to think that a big thing like that has just gone 180 to 190 mph and now its right by your side

[@dfwrailvideos]

American here, I am impressed with the UK's HSR network. Beats what we have in the USA for sure! One question, how come the 395s only have one headlight? Wouldn't it be better to have two?

[@WaschiXtreme]

In the UK most trains have 2 Headlights one on each side and a marker light, at daytime the marker light on the drivers side is turned on and the headlight on the non drivers side is on. (The others are off) at night time the headlight on the drivers side is on and the marker light on the non drivers side is on. (Again the other lights are off) this is for the front and at the rear of the train there are 2 taillights (one on each side) wich are on. The reason why this is the case with the 395s and not the Eurostars (373, 374) is because they operate in France and for France there need to be 2 Headlights on each side. Driver’s side: right Non driver’s side: left

[@WaschiXtreme]

If I said 2 headlights each side, I meant one on each side

[@Slime.tsunami]

I love the sound of the class 373

[@LordEverythingtrains]

Love the sounds of the E300s. As much as I love a good velaro the og chunnel trains gotta take it.

[@StarlifeStudios]

Thanks EJC, I'm a huge fan of HS1 and some of these numbers/shots certainly tested me. You have no idea the efforts I went to to obtain the train numbers of the Medway Bridge shots! 😃

[@ejc7129]

@@StarlifeStudios I bet 🤣😎👀 It used to be hard enough tying to get HST power car numbers at 125mph, so Im sure its very difficult at 186mph 🤔🫣👀 Yes there is something unique and fascinating about high speed rail in the UK 😎🇬🇧 HS2 will add to that fascination and excitement, if its ever fully built? 🤔 The only problem down the decades the railways have always endured are politicians/Governments 🤔 Rarely (if ever) have they made good, long term decisions that benefit the railways in this country 🤡🇬🇧

The map thing is really nice!

[@danielgoosen591]

I was watching and noticed how many more southeastern high speed services there were compared to Eurostar services

[@chrispearson2329]

Zooming in and out is reducing the appearance of how fast these things are actually traveling

[@garden-Railway]

Great locations👍

[@StarlifeStudios]

Thanks 👍

[@buskid109]

Amazing

[@allyreneepenny9447]

Beautiful trains 💯 The Javelin is very fine & the Eurostar.

[@maximanuelotuffatz1341]

These trains are great. I like especially the 373 because it is not the same boring shit as in Germany. Don't misunderstand, it is great that Siemens has recived orders, but I don't really like the Velaro. Trains with Lokomotives or Power Cars look more interesting and powerful and inside it's not that noisy. I want to drive the 373 at least once. Which route is most likely to take the Class 373?

[@davidpanton3192]

This what they want. The map was an innovation I think. It would be useful for all your videos.

[@StarlifeStudios]

It took a fair bit of time to produce but I’m glad you found it helpful David 😃

[@SouthEastRailwayVideos]

Nice how did you get down on to the grass at Harrietsham, I know where it is but I’m trying to plan for when I go soon.

[@TheRailwayDrone]

I'm a year late, but this was a fantastic video!

[@BaconTrains]

Great video! How did you get to places like Charing and Harrietsham?

[@StarlifeStudios]

At both of these locations there are access gates which walkers can use. The land itself is owned by London and Continental Railways (Network Rail). I'm not someone who will trespass, there was always a fence between me and the railway.

[@BaconTrains]

@@StarlifeStudios Cheers

[@nathanroom4006]

Could u do new video at Stafford bc I love the varaty of trains

[@StarlifeStudios]

I hope to go back to Stafford this year ideally for a full day.

[@LookingForLocos]

Hi! Cracking Footage, I would love to know what camera you use! ❤

[@allmyothersubscriptions]

Thank you for the footage!

[@thebrummierailenthusiasts5329]

Sadly Eurostars are not going to Disneyland Paris and it’s due to the effects of the pandemic and the fallout of the EU

[@lublinbusenthusiast1120]

The fact that you recorded 395012 "Trainbow"

[@ormondsworld3947]

Great video! Shame you couldn’t get any 92s though

[@StarlifeStudios]

92s usually run in the late evening/night and are rare in daytime. I tried but its pot luck! Thanks Ormond :)

[@Mathferro]

A l'heure actuelle des E300 il en reste plus que 8 !

[@LordEverythingtrains]

You should do more videos like this on other lines

[@StarlifeStudios]

I really would like to but these include a significant time investment which I dont have at the moment. I will keep your comments in mind and I will of course be filming HS2 when it opens 😃

[@ChineseTrainGuy]

@@StarlifeStudios It would be nice to see e300s in HS2 too lol

[@eastlondontransport6468]

Great video can I just ask what do you use to edit your videos a I currently use iMovie to edit my own videos and I want to have something similar subtitles to what you use if you know what I mean

[@WaschiXtreme]

On mobile I use InShot and for pc I use filmora InShot is free, I’m a creator too in case ur asking why I would use editing software

[@SgtRosier]

Why do some of the 395's only have 1 panto up?

[@curt3494]

What sort of speeds are these trains travelling at? Is it 125mph like other high speed trains in the UK?

[@ttvvideos2050]

140mph for the javelins, 170-186mph for the class 373 and 374

What you called the Boxley tunnel is actually the North Downs tunnel

You are completely correct it is the Southern portal of the North Downs Tunnel. For this video, I used the nearest town as the location name.
