All I can say is thank god for HS1. Eurostar seemed to crawl round on a 3rd rail system. Now with proper electrifcation she can release her full potential.
-
i'm glad they now use full AC power...... much faster, much more fun ! look how slow they were restricted to
-
there dc days were fun, i loved looking at them when on the southeastern mainline

Shades of the world's very first high-speed supertrains, the P&W Bullets of 1931; streamlined high-speed electric trains operating off of third rail.

So what happened after this week? Did the Eurostars simply stop running on these lines, or were these lines upgraded to overhead high voltage AC?

@trevormstone What was the speed limit on the Eurostars when they run on the DC (Direct Current) 3RD Rail
Cazkumali 8 months ago
@Cazkumali - 100mph (160km/h) I think. Sure it was no more than that.
