This is first time I have attempted to film the Eurostar and the Javelin trains at speed along the Channel Rail Link, so this might not be the best video in the world for them. But I did manage to get a nice shot of the oncoming Eurostar heading to London St Pancras International. The Eurostar is the UK version of the French TGV built by GEC Alsthom in France and the Class 395 Javelin is the British version of the Japanese Shinkansen train and this units are built by Hitachi in Osaka, Japan. Both of these trains have the AWS, KVB, TVM430 signalling equipment and the Eurostar also has the ATB signalling system for use on the lines in Belgium. The next vieo that I will do here next time will be longer and better, but for now I hope you will enjoy this short but informative video.
