A quiet sunny visit to Boxley Tunnel on HS1 on a Thursday afternoon.
Boxley info:
The village of Boxley in the Maidstone District of Kent, England lies below the slope of the North Downs approximately 2 miles (3.2 km) north-east of the centre of Maidstone town. The larger civil parish of Boxley has a population of 7,144 (2001 census), increasing to 9,554 at the 2011 Census,[1] and extends to the north and east of the town including the settlements of Boxley itself, Grove Green, most of Weavering Street, Sandling and the southern extremities of Walderslade and Lordswood at the top of Blue Bell Hill.
The M2 and M20 motorways cross the parish to the north and south of the village and the High Speed 1 railway line passes to the south of the village in cuttings and tunnel. Despite being so close to Maidstone and two motorways, the village is surrounded by woodland, and still retains a village feel. The ruins of Boxley Abbey are located here. The parish church is dedicated to St Mary and All Saints. The church and the Abbey Barn are both Grade I listed buildings and the site of the abbey is a scheduled monument. Boxley Abbey House, Parsonage Farm and St Andrew's Chapel in Boxley and Weavering Manor in Weavering Street are all Grade II* listed. The Pilgrims' Way trackway and the North Downs Way pass through the parish. The village was the filming location for the film version of Porridge.
Within the parish are the Museum of Kent Life and Vinters Valley Nature Reserve. A 19th century granary from Boxley was dismantled and re-erected at the museum.
I'm loving the camera angle commitment 😂😂
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!
definitely
Great place for spotting! I absolutely love the 373 sad to see it less and less.
They're gonna be used by IZY (Low cost Thalys)
A bunch are currently being refurbished for continued British use
So glad some of the class 373 has been refurbished and not binned :)
I like 373s more than 374s because they have character to them
Class 373s are beasts. Make the most of them before they are gone
Weren’t a bunch just refurbished ?
@@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.
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! 😊
Wow this is a FANTASTIC video. I wish we had trains this fast in the U.S.
Man they are fast. 180mph for the Eurostar and 140mph for the Javelin
186 mph for the Eurostar at 140 for the javelin
Great video and beauty place.
Insane! Fantastic Video. Liked
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.
Great video as usual
Awesome video nice work
Great video!
That's a brilliant angle at 1:25!
Great video
Great!
Is the 373 the earlier Eurostar? Love the wind howl as the carriages pass. The later ones don't seem to do that.
It is
That new Eurostar isn't a patch on the old one! Talk about taking a step back in design!
Let’s hope the ones that replace the 373s are like them
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.
Dagenham seems interesting. I am planning to visit Westenhanger very soon
Nice! :)
Great video mate, loving the class 374s, what camera do you use ?
Panasonic HC-VX870
@@RichardChalklin thanks
@@RichardChalklin I have a Panasonic telly vision
Hi, great video! How do you get to this spot?
I see from the Shell Garage in the background where you are - could you easily park around there?
Yes. There is a bridge seen in the video you can park there very easy
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
How much time do you hear until it passes
2:48 Correction is this a loop service or it’s from Faversham?
Great video.How do you know the time.es of trains?
Real times trains, it’s a website, not a app. Don’t get confused.
What does like "1J34" mean? Is that a train number?
A train operating headcode
@@LukeAlfordUKsteam Ok
I’m a little confused. Is Eurostar a British or French company?
It's complicated but suffice to say it's a British, French and Canadian company .
0:20 - VOOM VOOM VOOM VOOOM VOOM
Lol wtf😂
What speed?
186mph for Eurostar
140mph for Javelins
What's "metres"?
@Geoff Peterson "MM"?
@@3506Dodge Millimeters
Why do Eurostar’s need two pantograph up?
I would guess it's down to length
are these all british trains
Yes
technically, but they originally were highspeed trains in Germany by ICE.
The british highsped trains are not as fast as in france or germany but they look cool
almost as fast, only a 14 mph difference!
Great video. Thumb up and subscribe of channel. Greetings from Poland :)
They tell me the gammons, world war two fantastists, patriots and Billy Brit and Johnny Headbut want the tunnel blocked up.............
Great video
Great!
