The pressure changes on entering / leaving tunnels is quite significant on Eurostar - I would say it's even more intense than on aircraft during climb / descent.
Cool, the acceleration looks very impressive! I like how the motor sing a chord as the work the train up to speed. The line is definitely on my to-do list!
What I don't like about the Javelin is its PA system. They should work on it instead of like "Welcome aboard the Southeastern High Speed service to Ashford Int'l. We will be calling at Ashford Int'l. The next station is Ashford Int'l. This train is now FAST to Ashford Int'l."
I live in Croydon, but regularly travel to Ashford.
Sadly, despite the governments propoganda, this service will reduce my journey time from 2 hours 15mins on average, to 1hour 49 on average...hardly a revolutionary leap forward, and at considerable extra ticket cost and considerable tax cost...
Sorry to be on a downer, but I think I represent many angry rail travellers in the South london and Kent region.

@StephenETavington Good point, it can get boring after a while.

I always want to make this video but yours is just fantastic. It's much more convenient for me to travel to uni from home on the Javelin.
