The old Euro Star trains are so distinctive in design and in the sound they produce at speed. I heard they were quite under powered for how much energy they needed to draw but still they manage, they look faster than the new stock. Age hasn't slowed her down one bit. I hope some are spared 23 years is not old for a train.
What also makes the double passing at 9:50 so unique is the sound. Once the 373 has cleared the air turbulence of the 395, its regular "whoo whoo"-sound appears. Amazing shot
Scott Simmons Love that bit. Eurostar 373 just appears and the sound of individual coaches passing seem faster than the others unless they are shorter.
Thing I miss about these older trains like the 373 and hst 125 is that they sounded different. The whole sounds of the thing passing at speed the long low woosh hum of 373 first traction cab then the woo noises from the remaining carriages and ending a particular rush of sound from the last cab. Same with the 125 screaming engine flying past, sound of remaining train then ends with the noise from screaming end loco at speed nothing like it. The new trains are so well refined "dynamically" that the sound is so uniform every car sounds the same.
I'll miss that BOOMBOOMBOOMBOOMBOOMBOOM, when the old ones are all replaced; the new model looks just like a bigger Javelin. Those sparks from the HT arcing look fkn great, especially in the tunnel. good vid.

Inky Scrolls oh lord.... I live in America and I truly don't think the Acela train is fast. That train is trash compared to trains like the TGV Duplex.
They are fast, that is what I saw on a lot of videos. You can't complain. Here in Argentina, the top speed of a train is 30 mph, and it never reaches it.
I know right, I have actually gotten some toots from Eurostar drivers before, but they go by so fast that I've missed some of them, thankfully this one when perfectly :)
Does anyone know what it is on the Eurostars that makes the distinctive noise at speed? I'm sure the E320s are nicer inside and more modern, and ultimately faster too, but you have to give it to the 373s on character and sound. It seems a real shame so many are going for scrap now!
soundseeker63 The ‘woo, woo, woo’ noise is produced in the gap between the carriages. It is basically down to poor aerodynamics and newer trains are designed to use less energy so areas with poor aerodynamics are designed out as much as possible hence the newer trains are much quieter whilst passing.
@@extrude22 Im not so sure it is that. The e320s have similar sized gaps between the coaches as do various older models of TGV but they do not all make that distinctive zoom noise.

I'm not a train enthusiast, and have no clue regarding the trains that I'm looking at. But, could some people who know what they're talking about, tell me the average speed of the trains in this video? Are we talking 125mph? 150mph? 175mph?
@@curt3494 the top speed of a train in the UK is 230KMH (Just above 140MPH) which is the speed limit of the Eurostar’s until they reach France. The top speed of a domestic train is 225KMH (140MPH) that’ll be roughly the speed they are travelling. The top speed of a train on a conventional line is 125MPH. The trains on this line can only do faster because they have In Cab Signalling.
Now, is too bad... Pretty much miss these Eurostar so much, unseen these Eurostar go to trip Paris it is many times hardest not seen it is... Just sad! 😕💔
The super faster train in UK, why does not build a tunnel to Dublin (Ireland) via Holyhead (Wales/UK) for HS2 undersea tunel in Irish Sea from Liverpool to Dublin? Thank you.
All these people talking about how the Eurostar embarrasses the US Units, what about the 395? That's basically a commuter train and it still whips the American efforts.
I'd love to do them more, but at times the security on HS1 can be overwhelming, so top speed videos like this one won't be as common, but Stratford Intl and Rainham are ok.
The best Eletric High-Speed Train is the Class 373 Eurostar, and the Best Diesel High-Speed Train is the Class 43 HST out of all the newer high speed trains those two trains are the best, especially that Class 373 Eurostar I dont see why they would replace them like come on the Queen traveled on one of them when the Euro Tunnel was introduced to the grand opening.
The Javelins seem too have a sound thats like, WEW WEW WEW WEW WEW WEW. But the Eurostars are like, WEW VOOM VOOM VOOM VOOM VOOM VOOM VOOM VOOM VOOM VOOM VOOM VOOM WEW!
The only thing i dislike about HS1 is that they decided to post the speed limit in KILOMETERS per hour rather than the standard MPH as used by the rest of the UK rail network
It is because it runs on a European signalling system so all speeds must be in km per hour. At some point the UK will probably adopt ETCS and we will have to covert other lines to KM per hour.
I was once on eurostar from Paris to London with gps all the way and speeds very rarely exceeded 270 kmh maybe once or twice hit 290 kmh but mostly in between 250-275 and never 300
Your phone gps does not produce a good enough position to provide an accurate speedometer, especially when you’re moving that fast. I’m sure you’re right that it wasn’t a sustained 300kph, but I highly doubt it was as slow as 250.
Because of course you criticise the 4 YEAR OLD video I did like I filmed it yesterday, and completely ignore the more recent better ones... thanks very much sir.
