Southeastern Highspeed: a ride on the Class 395 Javelin! (2018.05.10)
Welcome to another transit video from London, this time riding the high speed train from Stratford International to Ebbsfleet International, in the county of Kent just outside of London. I was visiting a friend that lives in that area, and I had not done any research on this service prior to filming this. These trains run on the High Speed 1 tracks that Eurostar uses to connect to the Channel Tunnel to reach Paris, and have a top service speed of 225 km/h (140 mph).

We'll be riding on set 395 019, one of 29 sets built by Hitachi in Japan and based on a Shinkansen design, and many of these sets are named from British Olympians as this service was commenced before the start of the London 2012 Olympics, and this particular one is named for Jessica Ennis. There are 6 cars in each set, and automatic coupling allows two 6 car sets to be combined into a 12 car train on busier routes.

Around half of this segment is in a tunnel, respectively London Tunnel 2 east of Stratford Int'l, and London Tunnel 3 which crosses the Thames. There are two sets of platforms: the curved upper ones carry Southeastern services to Gravesend and Faversham where the trains switch to DC 3rd rail to continue on slower lines, and the lower ones under the glass building carries Southeastern services to Ashford International, as well as Eurostar services between St. Pancras and Paris and Brussels. The Southeastern Highspeed services cut travel times between Ebbsfleet and London from 51 minutes to 17 minutes.
