Waterloo Eurostar - The Final Trains at Bickley

[Eugeneandco]

soundds like jubilee line 1996 rolling stock train start up at 1:20

@Eugeneandco Most of the Networkers have similar traction systems to the 1996 stock used on the Jubilee Line, both use Metro-Cammell equipment. Some 465s however had Brush traction packages, all of which have now been replaced with Hitachi equipment, which is the same traction gear found under the Class 395 'Javelin' stock.

The driver of the southeastern train next to it must be thinking "Im tired already, im going to pretend to be eurostar and do 180mph to cannon street!!!"

Horrible european horn sound. Should have given them the class 91 two tone.

@edj66 agreed

[Cactus732]

the distance from dc to boston is probably further than london to paris

What trains have they ordered then?

[pixelpixie9]

What is written on the board that the locals hold up? Can I have a lift? LOL

The poster means that these were the last Eurostar trains to pass through the suburban stations when leaving Waterloo International Train station. When the trains used this station they used the South London line with passed through Bickley Station on the way to Fawkham Junction - where the Eurostar train joins HS1 section 1. Now the Eurostar trains leave from St Pancras where it uses HS1 sections 1 and 2. This is the dedicated HighSpeed lines that run right to the tunnel.

Nice Video. I rode the Eurostar out of Waterloo in August 2007.

Wish the US had rail service like that!

Great Video, Does Bickley Station have Ticket Barriers?
