Eurostar - Paris Gare Du Nord to London Waterloo
Loading...
Uploaded by nwguyuk on Apr 22, 2009
Filmed back in 1995, I took this during my return trip from Italy. Eurostar services were still in their infancy, and High Speed 1 was a distant dream!
Watch the departure from platform 3 of Gare Du Nord, the Paris Suburbs were we gradually increase speed, and then travelling at 300km/h (186mph) once we're onto LGV Nord.
We then slow down for Lille where we go through at around 140km/h (80mph) before regaining speed. Then finally arriving at the Channel Tunnel portal at Sangate we reduce speed to 160km/h (100mph).
Once on the British side of the Channel. We take what was the Kent Mainline, through Ashford at a maximum speed of 150km/h (90mph)
I ran out of battery before we reached Waterloo, and never had a chance to finish it.
Always another time!
Apologies for the quality. Has been edited a few times and copied from VHS before landing back up on here.

That is the early days of Eurostar, not even Ashford International was complete and the UK High Speed line, then known as CTRL only went from the tunnel to Cherriton (west of Folkestone)!!

@TheKamikazeMAR The first full fare paying passenger went through on the 14th November 1994 - So yes, it is that long ago! (Tunnel officially opened by the Queen on the 6th May 1994)
Thanks for your comment!!
