High Speed Trains Passing at Boxley Tunnel on HS1 - 15/03/16
Video: This was the first trip done at Boxley Tunnel since 2014. The main purpose of this revisit was to catch some high speed 186mph (300kmh) Eurostar trains on one of the fastest sections of High Speed 1, also this was the first I time caught the new e320 Velaro D trains at high speed. However due to HS1 only permitting 186mph (300kmh), they will seemingly never do 200mph on HS1... which is a shame.
Unfortunately there was no refurbished e300 in sight...
TRAINS INCLUDED:
Eurostar Class 373 TGV TMST e300s + Class 374 Velaro e320s and Southeastern Class 395 Javelins

The old Euro Star trains are so distinctive in design and in the sound they produce at speed. I heard they were quite under powered for how much energy they needed to draw but still they manage, they look faster than the new stock. Age hasn't slowed her down one bit. I hope some are spared 23 years is not old for a train.

What also makes the double passing at 9:50 so unique is the sound. Once the 373 has cleared the air turbulence of the 395, its regular "whoo whoo"-sound appears. Amazing shot

Thing I miss about these older trains like the 373 and hst 125 is that they sounded different. The whole sounds of the thing passing at speed the long low woosh hum of 373 first traction cab then the woo noises from the remaining carriages and ending a particular rush of sound from the last cab. Same with the 125 screaming engine flying past, sound of remaining train then ends with the noise from screaming end loco at speed nothing like it. The new trains are so well refined "dynamically" that the sound is so uniform every car sounds the same.

The best Eletric High-Speed Train is the Class 373 Eurostar, and the Best Diesel High-Speed Train is the Class 43 HST out of all the newer high speed trains those two trains are the best, especially that Class 373 Eurostar I dont see why they would replace them like come on the Queen traveled on one of them when the Euro Tunnel was introduced to the grand opening.
I'm not a train enthusiast, and have no clue regarding the trains that I'm looking at. But, could some people who know what they're talking about, tell me the average speed of the trains in this video? Are we talking 125mph? 150mph? 175mph?

Does anyone know what it is on the Eurostars that makes the distinctive noise at speed? I'm sure the E320s are nicer inside and more modern, and ultimately faster too, but you have to give it to the 373s on character and sound. It seems a real shame so many are going for scrap now!

soundseeker63 The ‘woo, woo, woo’ noise is produced in the gap between the carriages. It is basically down to poor aerodynamics and newer trains are designed to use less energy so areas with poor aerodynamics are designed out as much as possible hence the newer trains are much quieter whilst passing.
