You can hear how quickly they are rolling, e.g. whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh, a bit less than 4 carriages per second, 22m per carriage so 88m/s, actual top speed is 300km/h!
I remember my 1st ride with it - spent hour or few stuck in tunnel due English having signal errors. Spent more time in that spot than rest of the journey combined. Amazing train, amazing routes.
Awsome video cant wait to go U.K Trains Spoting again between 29 januarie and 5 februarie coming with new eurostar set 320 from rotterdam netherlands direcktly to london trip of 3 houres drive great video
NEWLY REFURBISHED CLASS 373 1:32 THE OTHERS HAS BEEN REPLACED BY CLASS 374 AND SENT AND A TRIP TO THE SCRAPYARD 😢😢😢😢😢😢 BUT THERES IS A CARRIAGE AT A MUSEUM...
Here an idea, instead of use crappie iet for hs2, we use a class 373 on hs2 because it's built for high speed lines its got a high capacity and it would just be a waste to not get some more use out of them.
IEPs would never be used on HST. 250mph speed limit but a 140mph train? I hope they’d have more sense than doing that. I don’t think 373s though because they are of an older design and some are rusty from salty Chunnel air apparently.
2:24 I think that train had a cold

That's a LOT of kinetic energy.
@@starfishsystems 800 tonnes, 88m/s, so about 3Gj. 12MW engine power so it could theoretically accelerate to that velocity in 258s.
But then air resistance@@Christubeopher
@@weetabix1045 yep, not sure how you would factor that in though
The way that they sound like woosh woosh woosh Sounds like the wheels passing by and they generate electricity and it's absolutely not true
Big shoutout to the last Velaro driver for the signal and even noticing you at such speed!
Great shots - and pretty cool you managed to see so many 373's!
Thank you, always great to see of course 😄
Great shot coming out from under the bridge in the dark with headlights and sparks.

If I lived close to this I would be here every day
it always suprises me how long the eurostars are, the cars just keep on coming
they're travelling so fast and yet it takes them that long to go past
Great video, I'd love to do some train spotting there myself.
Une trés trés bonne video surtout le soir avec ses arcs electriques👍👍👍
Thank you, they look and sound great in real life too
awesome noises, kinda sounds likes jets at certain points haha
That night shot wow, well done on that!
Brilliant Brilliant Brilliant video!
Especially the final clip! That one was AMAZING!
Greetings from Denmark! 🇩🇰
Many thanks!
Eurostar TGV version sounds great wow
Trip of my life. London to Paris 300km hr in thr French countryside

La fin est géniale avec les arcs électriques en plus avec le son

Great video! We used the Eurostar once from Brussels to London's Waterloo Station.
Great video!
Wowza,brilliant
Out of this world!
Nice spot spottersfriend ❤
Gredt video . Great efforts
Thank you
Very dramatic, great filming!
e300: 🚗🚗🚗🚗🚗🚗🚗
Velaro: *PPSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHSSSHHH*
Impressive views, many thanks. They don’t half motor!
Crickey. Wonder how many Volts and Amps that thing pulls.
that looks like it would be pretty painless
What? The newer trains here look just like our ICE Velaro D and Neo! They´re shaped the same!
Because they are!
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Rail_Class_374
I've watched this video once and still curious how you got the camera this close to an e300?
The fence at the tunnel portal goes in towards the track so it’s totally safe 👍
@@kentrailexplorer so you just put your camera over it in a stable place
Is this publicaly accessible, and if so, where?
My dream
Wow that's almost fast as a Lionel model train set!😃

Yes the museum is the National railway museum in york

???????????
hs2 is using bombardier zefiro sets??????
Where exactly is this? Is it near Maidstone?
Yes it’s just north of Maidstone near M20 junction 6
Excellent footage @Kent Rail Explorer
Thank you Trainmatt1
I like 373s more than 374s
I'm not sure if I'd be happy or scared riding this.
I’d be happy
@@r.h.8754The Eurostar goes 189mph and has nicer trains sorry to break it to you.
