- Video: A busy evening spotting trains at Stratford International station on High Speed 1. This spot features the usual Eurostar and Southeastern action with an increase as this was filmed during the evening rush hour to the late evening.
There were many more empty stock moves than last time with a few extra Eurostar trains coming out of the depot to act as cover, as well as many Southeastern trains passing through non-stop (incl. one normal service running non-stop from Ashford to St Pancras due to a severe delay).
I got fairly lucky with some Eurostar drivers giving horn toots while passing through, as well as one driver waving as they took a train up to the depot towards the end (sadly I didn't see them waving until it was close to the wall, so my wave back may have gone unnoticed).
TRAINS INCLUDED:
Eurostar Class 373 TGV TMST e300s & Class 374 Velaro e320s, Southeastern Class 395 Javelins.

The moment everyone is waiting for are 25:56 27:37 with Class 373 TMST Eurostars in original livery.
And 13:15 14:39 17:30 18:50 21:00 31:20 in the new livery. Thanks for the great video.
Paname514 thanks bro
thanks mate, just clicked on this video to listen the classic...woo woo wooo wooom
Imagine if there was a Eurostar e320 in the original livery of the class 373. so like its the e320 but it's white and yellow if you know what I mean
At least its got 18 coaches
RIP eurostar class a300
Since I've barely travelled anywhere all year, this is really soothing to watch. Gives me a sense that one day soon we'll be back to normal...
Its quite a spectacle seeing the trains at these speeds so close along these gradient changes too....
You should be on one. There's a section where, at high speed, it dives into a tunnel, then up and over a track round a slight curve and it does it so fast and so smoothly. Fascinating experience.
They're just going up to 230 kph here
Great tone from the Eurostar
Thanks
Nice video!
Btw look at the driver of 28:30 greeting you :D
Stratford international, where no international trains stop!
Leon CoolKid you kinda miss the point buddy,
theres no point for stratford international
That would be so weird if there were no international trains there.
Noobeh plenty there are loads of international trains here it’s just that none of them stop.
Ian Mills ye cuz the Eurostar is international but it doesn't stop at the station, the class 395 isn't a international train but it stops here. your absolutely correct
Good to see class 373 Eurostars❤️, hope they will be in service for a long period... amazing video.
Srisa Vundavalli yes when they all go out of service when I grow up I will make a new train called the miles line express and it will be better than the Eurostar or I can be the like only driver driving the eurostars
@@noobeh2394 I guess Eurostar is synonymous to better, best, amazing, superb, etc. 😬😛 Waiting to see miles line express btw🙋🏻♂️
@@noobeh2394 I think the answer to that dream is this: Step one get a lot of money. Step 2 buy all the class 373's that haven't been scraped and then Step 3 build the miles express line. I have given you the answer to your dream so good luck :D
@@noobeh2394 Miles line express*
Bro choo choo plane I’ve been subscribed to you for a year and you just can’t stop making these wonderful videos. Also I subscribed from the video when you went spotting at tgv haute picardie
I love seeing the TMSTs
Nice video :) So many non-stopping empty stock Javelins, and one double unit that stop at the former International platform for letting the very delayed passenger service for St Pancras passing through :)
Thus, lot of these Eurostars are passing slowly through the middle lines :)
Cool the TMST in his original livery, though :)
Eurostars old trains still look and sound amazing
So cool !
Nice to see some drivers with a little humour... Giving the old two-tone.
Yeah.
favourite part 28:29- 29:53 and 15:43-17:10, I am so fascinated by the single track which goes from stratford international to temple mills, i really enjoyed all of it outstanding video CHOO-CHOO!!Plane:)
Nice nice! Good to see the spare power car, also very nice to hear some E300's roar. I really wonder why some drivers on the E320 have their markers so bright..
Thanks. I'm not sure, some drivers dim it while passing through stations, while some leave it blaring. Though it is a European rail procedure to dim it while passing other drivers.
Every horn the camera jumped. Hillarious
18:01 19:34 St Pancras International to Brussels Midi 9I58 374028/374027 that was me giving you a toot on the horn! Great Video by the way.
Damn bro you drive eurostars
thank you
Nice video. Is that line climbing to Temple Mills TMD? Thank you in advance.
Nice video !
Concorde F-BTCS Thanks very much
Very nice video....
Thanks very much
Me encantaría estar ahí algún día !! 🤩
I love how the Eurostar drives so often there, the Eurostar in the Netherlands drives 3 times a day :c
@@Bungle2010 no shit, thats why Im jealous, I only get 3 changes per day to see the Eurostar
Nice mate
TFL Rail Thanks very much
I have a few questions about the station:
1) what is security like with people filming here?
2) do you need a ticket to get on the platform?
3) which is the best platform to spot at?
Security is very hit-and-miss with spotters, this happened to be my luckiest spot there. And yes you have to buy a platform ticket (and let them know if you stay longer than an hour), and because the Eurostar depot flyover cuts the island platform in two, you are better off staying at the top end of platforms 2 & 3.
@@CHOO-CHOOPlane i didnt but back then i didnt know a platform ticket was a thing until one day i went on wikipedia
@@CHOO-CHOOPlane if i need to catch a train, can I just turn up really really early and just be like "I'm bored I just want to spot some trains"
Nice video 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks very much
Superb Video Frankly Jaime many Eurostar Especially the E300 and the Last TMST
I never part with life ❤️❤️
And besides, I would like a lot to Spot a Day on this station of Stratford International
But I need a lot of money to travel
I hope my dream will come true
Thanks very much :)
Blimey! @16:00 ish, the class 374s have so many pantographs! :O
normally: 4 for standard use (2 in each direction to maintain aerodynamics) and 2 for backup ...
Why were so many Javelins passing at around 11:00 ish and why did a Javelin go on the Eurostar platforms?
21:00 did that trains headlights flashed the way most USA trains do after sounding their horns?
From left to right (of screen) = leaving London in direction of Eurotunnel?
Do they use the 373/374 interchangeably or is there a way you can tell when booking tickets?
6:22 did that horn scare you?
Like a train sneeze!
I would guess that yes because of the camera shaking at that moment the horn blew
Noobeh should be yes it did to me lol
Noobeh noooooo....
Lol
Eurostar trains passed without service to their resting place. You can sometimes see it in this video. I like the new Eurostar trains. I want to know closely.
Well Choo Choo,
(All EuroStars Pass Through)
One International Station That is
How many times a day does a eurostar going to the temple mills depot? When is the best time to catch it?
9:34 is wicked! Always expect delays or cancellations there
Uh yea
9:01 Why does this one park on the platform opposite?
Nice Video👌
Greetings from Pakistan
Thanks very much
0:30 what is that upper track used for?
Why does the 395 stop at Stratford on platform 1 or 4? At 10:40?
Did you actually record the whole time, but cut out the boring parts?
0:12 why is the Eurostar passing slowly on the tracks higher up?
15:00 (15 seconds in) why do the Eurostars go round up there?
10:00 the eurostars goes really fast than the other trains. Including avanti west coast, greaterangila and southeastern
Great spot to see the fastest trains in London - shame there's only 2 different ones!
Deutsch bahn ran a I.C.E train from cologne to London some years back
There are so many platforms and tracks! Do you know where all the trains go and where the platforms take you?
Trains always use platform 2 and 3 the other tracks where planned for more regional style international trains
out of curiosity where does the flyover go? Noticed only a few sets went that way.
It goes to Temple Mills Depot, the main Eurostar depot.
16.53. Where was that going and why? Thought that was for the olympics only. ???
At 25:37
Where does that track lead to?
That track goes to Temple Mills depot. The 373's and 374's go there when they are not in service
so what area does HS1 cover then ie from where to where?
breeze 147 From London St Pancras to the Channel Tunnel, located on the Folkestone area :)
fab few of a new branch line station... as ever why did they not link hs1 with hs2 via the canal tunnels.. very short sighted politicians
David Gatt they are linking HS1 and HS2 via HS4A (this is a high speed connection to the major airports such as Heathrow)
Dull Trainspotter oh
would have needed a completely new set of tunnels, canal tunnels are thameslink and run at at least 8tph. Would have had a very low speed if those were used, a more sensible option for HS2 in general would have been tunneling from stratford and old oak to euston, and building euston as a through station. Would have required more dedicated planning in the mid 2000's, but would have provided a more integrated high speed network.
6:22 Eurostar Horn
Umm why did the British train sounded like a metro that goes around the nation
Great footage, at the time of this film, i was in Ukraine, i travelled there by rail all the way from Lincolnshire to Odessa, and back of course. Going off topic a bit here. I went to Portugal two weeks ago and found myself getting on an unrefurbished 373, the seating is great on these old sets, but i am pritty sure this is on borrowed time.
wow
What is that secret set of track above the platform. Where does it go to?
It goes to Temple Mills Recap. depot. the main Eurostar Depot
The 373,s have gone.
For a system like this to work in my country, it needs to be small scale.
Anyone else notice that at 15:47 that the class 374 had some bad damage on the front nose coupler and what appears to be blood staining ?
I did.
What is that elevated bit for? I’ve never seen the train on there before. I’ve only ever seen Eurostars trash through the middle tracks on the ground? What is it called?
Its called the Temple Mills Chord and it goes to the main Eurostar Depot at Temple Mills. Usually, most sets can be seen going up and down it in the early mornings and late evenings
CHOO-CHOO!!Plane Thank you for letting me know. Was the Eurostar we saw on there at the start of the video coming from the depot then rather than carring passengers? I wonder where it went
Yes it was coming empty from the depot to cover for a failed 374, it was operating the 9S61 15:29 Temple Mills Reception to St Pancras Intl move.
My dream is to spot the 373 at high speed but the Netherlands only has e320
13:47 typical delays 😂
Holy hell, the 373's are still running?
8:40 rare a speedy 395 through stratford wow!
Training for its promotion to a Class 374 so it can skip the station and go to France
1:20 I used to live near sandwich lol. Know that station very well
Sierra Oscar 555 lol a station called sandwich XD cool station btw I never seen it :)
Noobeh it’s in the county Kent (South East Coast)
Jack Shiels I know right. I used to live on fox borough hill in woodnesborough
West Ham like ham facing west in the sandwich 😂😂😂
What is the maximum permissible speed of these trains?
the e300/tmst can go 300 km/h the newer velaro d set can go 320 km/h
@@susfranzliszt But not in this place.
at Stratford Intl 225 km/h
where do the trains at the top go?
I think King’s Cross
@@jamescale9431 King's cross that's impossible Eurostar only goes at st pancras
I done like Siemens Eurostar is not speed my favorite is Eurostar Tmst .
26:08 is that set going to be scrapped? I hope not...
not to worry some of the class 373s are still her because they have been refurbished and the new 374 eurostars are here just in case the 373s are need to be replace mario
@@thebrummierailenthusiasts5329 nonsense
1st: You didn't answer my question. I know there are refurbished 373 already but that set isn't
2nd: 374s are in service with 373, not to replace them just in case. In fact, it would be the opposite, because there are only 8 (I believe) 373 sets on service and there are much more 374s.
Would the same apply for the one at 28:30?
@@pirozcontractor6006 Yup
It might be used by Izy (Thalys) if Eurostar stops using it. It's just a supposition.
Where does that flyover in the middle come from?
Temple Mills Depot
2:41 Class 395 dosent have first class
Is it bad that I like the new e320s too? 😬
Yes.
Jk😂
@@ethansaviation2672 The cheek. 😂🤣
Although they're not as cool as the old ones, I do quite like them. At least they're better than the new IEPs/class 800s other railways have been getting. 🙄😅
@@jeremysadventures99 yes the 800 are horrible😂
@@ethansaviation2672 Honestly, the Velaros are GORGEOUS compared to the 800s. 🤣🤣🤣 Its like comparing a mattress to a wooden floor.
The E320 Eurostar is 400 meters long
I think it's 300...
No 400 the E300 is 380
Who’s that sexy man in blue 😲😲😂😂
17:33
I know eurostar does not stop there
2:41
try to use the zoom on the camera less. Using the zoom like this has the effect of making the trains seem slower than they are...

Why don’t trains have batteries to power them instead of relying on overhead lines or third rail?
Think of how large the batteries would have to be. And don’t forget what happens when one crashes.
Because there is no battery on earth which could do the job. Also batteries take time to charge and take up space on board a train.
Even if a battery was large enough to power a train, it would eat up way too much charge for a high-speed train to use. This is why the only real successful battery electrics are switch engines. Between their effective range and the amount of time needed to recharge, it'd be even less efficient than running a diesel-powered train. Also, can't believe I'm agreeing with Stalin, but think of if there was a battery leak of some kind, even without a derailment
I agree with Stalin too and also think how heavy the "battery" would be
This technology will arrive for HS trains eventually - but I reckon it's still at least ten years away..... probably closer to 20. Some trams already use battery technology - but then they are travelling at 50mph max.....not 180mph!!
You mean 10/09/19
So stupid, HS2 trains should be stopping here and terminating at Ashford International for passenger transfer to Eurostar services. Such a missed opportunity to bring Stratford International into better use.
Isn't really practical. Would mean Stratford would have to be renovated to be secure for international stopping services, which it isn't equipped for, nor really has the space.
@@keyed_6727 I don't mean to use Stratford as a Eurostar stop, I mean to be the go between for HS2 and HS1, stopping at Stratford and ending with the journey terminating at Ashford to allow passengers to alight at Ashford to go through the Eurostar hub -eg, Birmingham > Stratford > Ashford.
Lol. It Doesn't really matter, HS2 will not get built after this forthcoming election (both farage and Bo Jo want it scrapped and they will be in power by Jan 2020) and Farage wants the Channel Tunnel closed to control immigration. Sorry guys
Overflow Music Stratford International was designed to be used as a Eurostar stop hence the name. The secure areas already exist, they just aren’t being used. As for HS2, it would be very expensive to bring it to Stratford.
@@extrude22 As opposed to CPO'ing a bunch of London real estate for more than previously estimated, and building extra bits of station onto another.... Once again, Stratford International would be just a London stop, like Farringdon is for the Bedford-Brighton line. The end terminus being Ashford, where the HS line infrastrucure already exists. I don't really buy into the 'it costs too much argument' as the numbers have been fudged so far by recent reports.
God trains are boring these days
thankfully not as boring as they were 40+, boring diesels and steam trains 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
hooollie give your head a shake, they have no character, just long electric trains
Boring = more efficient then?
TMSTs, boring? Are you mad?
@@paname514 The Velaro Eurostars are horrid.....the TGV derived Eurostars are far more attractive.
