Eurostar Driver View Timelapse

[EASYTIGER10]

It shows why HS1 was so expensive - and late - compared to LGV - the tunnels. The UK always seems to find the most complicated and expensive way of doing things (Wembley stadium, Crossrail, HS2 etc...etc..)

[chris040694]

Fantastic Video. What frame rate did you use?

[bhavyful]

I think this is from Brussels to London actually.

[cedarcam]

@bhavyful I agree it is from Brussels

[FEETLE]

nice!!!! America needs to get with the program!!

[yallowrosa]

better to reduce the lapse ...

[MsDrummermike]

That was cool, Thanks for the posting....

[angoose95]

notice how windy the track gets in england..

[kinkisharyocoasters]

When this was filmed, did the train actually go nonstop? Doesn't it stop at Lille, Calais, Ashford, and Ebbsfleet?

[britishmariobros]

@kinkisharyocoasters I think it was nonstop, most Eurostar trains goes non-stop...

[BarrieBusesandTrains]

That first part of the trip is not from Paris-Nord, but from Brussel-Zuid (Midi). The flyover at the start of the video carries the Eurostar/Thalys/TGV line (96N) over the other tracks, and the line continues to Halle, where it then becomes High Speed Line "L1". It runs to Lille, then ends just before Lille-Europe TGV.

Great Video. Been on that train a few times. Would like to see it at normal speed.

[Janasheen91]

[kevinmohlen13]

[mastersgta1]

Ummm is there a raw version out there where we get to see the whole thing in real time?

[1rhys2112]

Never realized it went that fast.

[joshwashposh]

paris to london in 2 and a half minutes? FAKE!

[howardkevinm]

@joshwashposh um ya it says time lapsed

[nativenewlondoner]

@joshwashposh Troll!

[howardkevinm]

why is the chunnel so dark???

[JNozum]

This is a neat video! I also liked the background music.

[paulw99]

This video should be marked as a risk to people with epilepsy as the way the timelapse runs makes it appear to flash and that puts people like me at risk of a seizure. But good attempt at a video.

[robertparmar37]

is this on the hs1 line

[eurodestination]

@robertparmar37 yep

[baba875]

channel tunnel

[Pinku8482]

Where did you found this music ? I searched her many times but I didn't her found.

She's very beautiful.

[eurodestination]

@Pinku8482 try searching for "the Chase" incompetech

[heroknaderi]

let me guess the english challel tunnel

[7544jeroen]

1:30 is that a thalys

[Renard380]

@7544jeroen Thalys trains can't go through the Euro Tunnel

[75426168]

next time when i'm in london i will go to paris for a day - the travel time is only 2 hours and 10 minutes O_O

[ccolimon]

I'm a Yank and I made the Brussels to St. Pancras trip one time. Is there a long tunnel just before you pull into St. Pancras? I was trying to figure it out while watching the video. Tks. Great video!!

[eurodestination]

@ccolimon Yeah, there is a succession of tunnels in the last 10 minutes of that journey.

[StephenETavington]

@ccolimon The long tunnel before St Pancras is beneath London. There is a station around 2:14 called Stratford International: station for the 2012 Olympics.

[animesis]

@ccolimon

the largest tunnels in London i believe!

[RailwaySeriesKB]

@ccolimon My dad was in charge of safety testing all the concrete in that last tunnel. ;)

[soundseeker63]

If this were stretched out to say, 8 minutes it would be a really good video.

The music is kind of creepy.

[eurodestination]

@soundseeker63 Creepy....and copyright free

[MrPnisHead]

Fantastic!

[trainmaster5000]

great video! thanks for uploading.

[planetrics]

super

[JohnRossRotterdam]

it´s in Brussels South/Midi where this video starts, not Paris Gare du Nord

[eurodestination]

@JohnRossRotterdam Many thanks, never was quite sure.

[tinghaling]

I wish it would take 2 and a half minutes

[MC2251]

Excellent video I have the DVD (Blue Ray) of that which is good but a much longer and you need at least an hour and a half to watch it.

[eurodestination]

@MC2251 Cheers, still can't really work out from where it starts though...

[MC2251]

Thank you for replying to my comment, by the way the train started at Brussles Midi.

[MC2251]

@eurodestination The train starts at Brussels Midi and finishes at London St Pancras International.

[Cookienalah]

how thy turn from left to right lane traffic?

[elfabyanos]

@Cookienalah They don't, trains drive on the left in France and Belgium, so no need to swap sides.

[mackieap]

I'm pretty sure this is BRUSSELS to London, no?

[TheWeihnsilvester]

cool

[WezBolton]

hey good video!

[robmasterman]

Another piece of technical wizardry Gary...excellent end product 5* Bob

[MrExplorer7]

Just one question, how do you even do timelapse?? I have no idea, would like to know

[HenryLascelles]

@MrExplorer7 film it normally, then speed it up

[CDmagz]

Did you drive this train or did you bribe the driver to let you sit next to him?

great video Gary

You are such a great video maker

thanks and love from us all x

[eurodestination]

Oh money talks, money talks!

[MrExplorer7]

Hope you had a good trip Gary
