Description
Nicknamed the Javelin, the class 395 EMUs were built by Hitachi for use on Britain's HS1 route for high-speed commuting from London St Pancras far as Ebsfleet International and onward on the slower route through to Dover. They operate to a maximum speed of 140MPH unsing over AC supply then switching to the Southern's more conventional 750v DC third rail system beyond Ebsfleet.
This short video highlights the journey from the capital as far as Rochester, showing the train leaving London before its dive down through the tunnels stopping at Stratford en-route through to the 'garden of England'.
