High Speed Trains at Boxley Tunnel, HS1 | 21/02/19

[@thenewsofallkindchannel]

So glad some of the class 373 has been refurbished and not binned :)

[@trains.planes]

Great place for spotting! I absolutely love the 373 sad to see it less and less.

[@sullybully]

They're gonna be used by IZY (Low cost Thalys)

[@amtrak_121]

A bunch are currently being refurbished for continued British use

[@thespicyicecubexd_8932]

I'm loving the camera angle commitment 😂😂

[@soundseeker63]

Still rate the 373s as the best from a spotter's perspective, they make some of the best sounds of any train.
With these camera angles looking down the track it is quite alarming how much the catenary wobbles after the train passes!

[@joefothergill6303]

definitely

[@TheRailwayDrone]

Wow this is a FANTASTIC video. I wish we had trains this fast in the U.S.

[@RichardChalklin]

Man they are fast. 180mph for the Eurostar and 140mph for the Javelin

[@callumthemieleandlgguydalg6315]

186 mph for the Eurostar at 140 for the javelin

[@ttvvideos2050]

I like 373s more than 374s because they have character to them

[@zerotraction6135]

Class 373s are beasts. Make the most of them before they are gone

[@erik_griswold]

Weren’t a bunch just refurbished ?

[@trainsdu4940]

@@erik_griswold These units will be used only for seasonal services, such as St-Pancras -> Bourg Saint-Maurice (in France) in winter, or St-Pancras -> Southeastern France.

[@erik_griswold]

Trainsdu49 Yes, but they will be in service for some time.

Another great video Richard.
Good work!
I'm not exactly a
railway enthusiast, but with these vids I could become a convert! 😊

[@IrresistibleGrace_Designs]

Folks think there is something wrong with me, that I like going to railways and train stations to watch trains. I Enjoy the freight trains that pass through and fast-moving.
It all boils down to very happy memories as a kid. I think me knowing the names of the locomotives and where they are going as well as coming from would be a good thing.

[@tbds7788]

Great video as usual

[@robertlindsay2724]

Awesome video nice work

[@ACETrainsUK]

Great video!

[@raimundom.731]

Great video and beauty place.

[@AndreiTupolev]

That's a brilliant angle at 1:25!

[@Austrianaviationphotography]

Insane! Fantastic Video. Liked

[@laurieharper1526]

Is the 373 the earlier Eurostar? Love the wind howl as the carriages pass. The later ones don't seem to do that.

[@galactic_nerd-sk4747]

It is

[@CasperTrains]

Great video

[@trainsdu4940]

Good video, lots of Eurostar that day! Can you do a spot at Dogenham Docks (in the c2c line, better than Rainham (Essex) imo) or Westenhanger (in SEML)?
Greetings from France.

[@RichardChalklin]

Dagenham seems interesting. I am planning to visit Westenhanger very soon

[@tsu8003]

That new Eurostar isn't a patch on the old one! Talk about taking a step back in design!

[@amtrak_121]

Let’s hope the ones that replace the 373s are like them

[@DanTheGamerAndTrains]

I haven't been here before but is there a way into the area where you were standing, cause I checked google maps but can't seem to find a way in

[@AdventuresByRail377]

Hi, great video! How do you get to this spot?

[@ethancampbell6076]

2:48 Correction is this a loop service or it’s from Faversham?

[@stevecooksley]

I see from the Shell Garage in the background where you are - could you easily park around there?

[@RichardChalklin]

Yes. There is a bridge seen in the video you can park there very easy

[@amtrak_121]

I’m a little confused. Is Eurostar a British or French company?

[@tsu8003]

It's complicated but suffice to say it's a British, French and Canadian company .

[@cadaneurostar1109]

How much time do you hear until it passes

[@paulwhitear4983]

Great video.How do you know the time.es of trains?

[@poshlad6275]

Real times trains, it’s a website, not a app. Don’t get confused.

[@trainspottingscotland5182]

Yes

[@poshlad6275]

technically, but they originally were highspeed trains in Germany by ICE.

[@Kyle-tr5hs]

What speed?

[@RichardChalklin]

186mph for Eurostar
140mph for Javelins

[@dernonamer7002]

The british highsped trains are not as fast as in france or germany but they look cool

[@poshlad6275]

almost as fast, only a 14 mph difference!

Great video. Thumb up and subscribe of channel. Greetings from Poland :)
