- Watch in HQ. Shots taken on 24, 30 and 31 July 04 at Lolham, Tallington and Maxey Crossings of Eurostars, 225s in GNER livery without the orange doors, various freights and railtours
GNER livery does suit the Eurostar
100%
It does Fit! To Resemble the Current East Coast High Speed Fleet’s Father
Some priceless footage there! Amazing 66, 91, Eurostar crossover at 4:48
You mean: 4:48

Very fond memories of travelling on one around 2004! Completely out of the blue coming back from KGX to Peterborough! It was like continental travel right on my doorstep.
6:04 - huh. there's something you don't see every day, a freightliner pulling a passenger rake
and its operating on the fast
You did it! 1K subs at last! Congrats, Ian!
To me, seeing the non GNER liveried 373's feels like I would be watching a "What If" scenario of if the North of London Eurostar services had actually happened...
effing sweet footage, loved every minute of it. 10/10
The gner eurostar will go down as one of the greats that plyed the east coast main line, i have a model of it on my fire place. Good to see some footage of the early 2000s.
I sat at potters bar car park and saw the white Eurostar psss and thought I was dreaming. Couldn’t believe I saw on ecml.
I had just moved to Leeds when they did this and enjoyed the opportunity a couple of times. The we're called 'The White Rose.'
I’ve found ways that the Regional Eurostar service could get from St. Pancras International to the East Coast Main Line and West Coast Main Line.
East Coast Main Line: There’s a connecting track from St. Pancras International to the East Coast Main Line from the triangle junction between the North London Line, St. Pancras International Station and the High Speed 1.
West Coast Main Line: There’s a connecting track in the triangle junction between the Richmond-Stratford Line, St. Pancras International Station and the High Speed 1. Trains may also bypass St. Pancras International and go directly onto the North London Line. There is also an elevated line connecting the North London Line near Camden Road station to the West Coast Main Line between Euston station and South Hampstead station.
nice video!!!! i just love the class 373 in the gner livery!
They were so cool watching them speed past Tallington crossing.
fantastic shots
Definitely - great machines - could hear the distinctive hum approaching from way off particularly with a favourable wind
Class 373 Great Northeastern Railway was the Father of the Current Trains Running His Routes: Class 91, Class 43 & Class 800
excellent filming, thanks for uploading to share with us :)
Great video mate really enjoyed it
Is it just me or did the GNER livery look so much better before they painted the doors red?
Massive disagree lol. But I do think the GNER livery was the best livery the trains wore, better than BR I think. And miles better than NXEC, EC or Virgin Trains / LNER. So glad East Midlands Trains and GWR switched to a similar layout, and Grand Central too but they've had theirs like that for years.
@@hornbytrainsets The current red and white LNERs are awesome
@@kyleJohn1997 I agree, I don't think it's as sleek looking as GNER was but they still look great on the 800s, way better than on the 91s and HSTs
i've never seen the eurostar in the GNER livery, it looks very nice on them..i think they should make a model of the eurostar in the GNER livery..awesome video!!
Already done. Hornby have one currently (Well its out of production but you can still get it from shops)
@z00h thanks mate glad you enjoyed it
0:34 this is how fast chefs cut vegetables
🤣
Quite like the GNER livery on the Eurostar and I like the Eurostar livery on the Eurostar train as well
I do miss the Eurostars on the ECML.
It's a shame regional Eurostar never happened. Big things are happening with rail integration in Europe, but that's not going to reach here
@ShaurntheSheep thanks mate - that was Tallington footbridge with the freight, 225 and 373 all turning up at the same time
Excellent stuff
Thanks Tom
NapierNimbus - you’re welcome
@tpe18509 thanks - there is another clip on my youtube site of the GNER Eurostars - agreed the GNER livery was very smart
Its a shame. If they could go for one more refit without the worry of ripping half the overhead wires to shreds, I'm quite sure that the 373s would be a welcomed edition to the ECML nowadays.
The electrics couldn't handle it. Shame as Eurostar could of been a good rival vs the other franchises and might bring back needed competition to all the big lines to step it up.
Did they use them on the ecml in GNER livery as passenger trains? How did I not know that?
Thanks very much. I was lucky to get such a variety of locos and of course now there are very few 60s around, no Eurostars on the ECML and no FL57s either. Great shame.
great vid mate
Superb video 5*
He 373s suit only the gner livery. Shame they're not there :(
it's still a lot better than rail infrastructure here in california
I didn’t know that GNER owns some class 373 / Eurostar’s
GNER only hired them.
Thanks mate
Why didn’t these trains have extended service on the ECML? I mean it seems like a no brainer to bring retired Eurostar rolling stock into the British network.
There’s a whole bunch of problems unfortunately; there’s some gauging issues further up north of leeds, they ripped the wires to shreds (im sure this could be retrofitted if it became a long term thing), and they are extremely power hungry(remember the speeds these were designed for!)
All of these issues and you have to remember all the miles through the channel tunnel over the years will have corroded the metals with the salty environment they were in
many thanks :)
where did the eurostars go at that time in the gner railway
All places
you could call this Eurostars in france and now one tell is was england on the first shot
graeat filming like the shots where you get two or more trains in 1 shot, there where you standing or on in the middle of the vid.
wow the same 66 twice
Thanks
They are clearly going faster than 110 mph
I understand they were restricted to 110mph due to pantograph reaction with contact wire issues
Seems to me a case of 'cant do, Guv'ner'. If the wires can't take a train travelling at more than 110mph then surely they're not up to the job of handling high speed trains. It all seems absurd to me - but typically British. Other countries find a way round this or just 'upgrade' properly - but not us. We debate about it for ages, then do nothing.
The ECML was electrified on the cheap
very cool
Were the Eurostars running in MPH OR KPH on the ecml given that they obvs weren't running on 3rd rail but overhead
They can do both, because they used to run on the classic lines out of Waterloo before 2007 using normal signals and speed limits in mph
Thanks Dave. Then I was using a Sony TRV33E a great camera, was end of line when I bought it so got it for a bargain. Unfortunately it started becoming unreliable with intermitment fault (think wore it out!) so very reluctantly decided to upgrade to Sony HDR-HC9E from Sept 08
Interesting footage at the end with the old, 2-barrier Maxey Road crossing. Any more footage?
That was before hs1
@trainspotter11 thanks mate
Cheers mate thanks
thanks :)
Class 373s are better than Class 91s
Crystal Mover The only thing better about the 373's is speed...
Crystal Mover the class 91 can go 162 mph while the Eurostar can go 190 mph so there's only a 28 mile speed difference between the two trains
Yes the class 373 is my favourite train 🚅🚋🚋🚋🚋🚋🚋🚋
fake news. thats a test run eurostar goes 186 in service
91 goes 125 in service
eurostars on ecml went 110
lol what are they doing there?
anytime :-)
They should’ve kept the NOL Eurostar!
What made them stop running the class 373?
I think the rolling stock lease ran out then Virgin trains got the franchise and committed to buying a load of 800s
What happened to the 373 on ecml?
BlastZGamingHD I may be wrong here but it's what I seem to remember hearing. They were only leased out to GNER for a few years, that agreement expired in 2005. A pity, I loved seeing the Eurostar on the ECML. 🙁
They should never have got rid of the original Eurostar trains from the East Coast main line. They're faster and more comfortable than the usual class 91 trains.
When Eurostar began replacing the original Eurostar stock and replacing it with the newer trains, the older stock should have all gone to ply the East Coast main line. What a waste of stock.
Alot of the original Eurostar trains have now sadly been scrapped. Are there any still operating across the Channel?
I believe there is a few left
How fast did they go? it's just a shame our railway infrastructure is now shit!
i love euro star 5* mate
how quick are they going
373 at top speed could only do 112 mph class 43 125 and 91s 125
@@mrvice8079 okay on Eurostar the 373 can do 203 and 374 did 220
@@caddzzz on ecml they could only 112 due to over head line power was getting drained on how much power they needed

The class 373 is French

Cubixrube The Class 373 isn't British! Because it's also a TGV!
