[jasonandjoesrailway]

Dont know why but ive always liked Rochester station.

[datnotfair]

I must be honest, I was more impressed with the class 47!

[MrDerails]

They take off like rockets! Great vid :-)

@MAGLEVTGV99 Thank you

[black5f]

Re trains .. High speed. The UK flagship expensive high speed transport. Slightly faster than a 30 year old prime mover HST running on modified chip fat and simply left in the dark ages by the TGV / Eurostar concieved in the 60's, built in '74 and in service by 1981. So whats going on. Sorry but what a mistake to buy these crawlers. LOL

Re video .. Good video!

[robertparmar37]

that is no way the hs1 line. :(

[AndreiTupolev]

Aprt from the front end they do look rather like a high speed 313, don't they.

[HSTHoward]

@AndreiTupolev NO?! are you mad!

[hongkonger255]

thought they were meant to be running on highspeed lines but here they are chugging along on DC third rail

[Bignadim]

@hongkonger255 LOL Childrens programm Chuggington as alternative to Thomas Tank Engine Series

[mcpcshowcaseHD]

Great video. That Javelin train looks really nice.

[OKRAFIRE]

How come they have those 1970s BR sliding doors?

5/5 nice

[HSTHoward]

not sure

[OKRAFIRE]

Oh, just researched into the doors a little bit...

WIKIPEDIA SAYS: The 395 has internally-hung sliding doors, rather than plug doors; this has meant the sacrifice of a smooth external profile. The door system is identical to that in use on the Japanese Shinkansen or bullet train and has over 40 years of operational experience and development.

[Marcelim02]

@OKRAFIRE Looks like a cheap version of the shinkansen doors.

[matthewproductions10]

nice train isnt it?

[HSTHoward]

certainly is

[kieron1997]

i hate the new motors on 465 lol

[theweekthatis]

I hate to break this to you, but the motors are the originals, only the inverters have changed.

[rachaelmatt]

Do the javlins run other places than just st pancras-ashford??

[HSTHoward]

st pancras - faversham

[KINGANDCASTLE]

Are the Javelins running from Charing X or St Pancras?

[HSTHoward]

st p

[KINGANDCASTLE]
