A quiet afternoon at Stratford International on a Sunday afternoon the second day of Storm Erik however since Stratford International is in a small ditch it wasn't really affecting my filming but it was still very cold because of wind chill. Also this is my first video on High Speed One this year.
Stratford International info:
Stratford International is the name of a National Rail station in Stratford and a separate, but nearby, Docklands Light Railway (DLR) station located in East Village in London and within the Greater London metropolitan area. Despite the station's name, no international services call there. The National Rail platforms are, however, served by domestic Southeastern trains on the High Speed 1 route originating at St. Pancras, with interchange to Eurostar trains (which are international) at either Ebbsfleet or Ashford. On the DLR it is a terminus - one of 7 end of the line termini - for local services via Canning Town.
Construction of the National Rail station was completed in 2006 but it only opened in 2009, for Southeastern services on HS1. In 2011 an extension of the DLR was opened to connect Stratford International to the wider London public transport network and to the main Stratford station to the south. The DLR station is physically separate and across the road from the HS1 station. Oyster cards and contactless payment cards are valid for travel to and from Stratford International, with the DLR station in Travelcard zone 2/3, but special fares apply at the HS1 station.
The four-platform HS1 station is built within "Stratford Box", a 1.1-kilometre (0.7 mi) concrete-sided cutting, meaning the station is located below ground level. It is located near the centre of the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, adjacent to the Westfield Stratford City shopping centre.
Background:
The station is on the High Speed 1 railway between St. Pancras and Ebbsfleet International. As the station lies just inside the eastern boundary of the London Olympic Park, much of the surrounding land was little more than construction site until mid-2012.
The tracks descend into tunnel at both ends of the station as its platforms are closer to the surface than the tunnels; some of the platforms have a noticeable dip along their length at the east end. Stratford International has four platforms in the station box: two at the outer edges and two shorter ones forming a central island. The main line through tracks run down each side of the station between the adjacent platforms. There is a waiting room on the island platforms but not on the outer platforms.
Thirty-five metres beyond the eastern portals, the tunnels pass just below the Central line tunnels turning north from Stratford. The bottom invert of each Central line tunnel is only 4.3 metres (14 ft) and 8.0 metres (26 ft) above the high-speed running tunnels.
The station was not authorised by the Channel Tunnel Rail Link Act 1996 and an order under the Transport and Works Act 1992 had to be made to allow for its construction. In the centre of the station is a single-track inclined viaduct, rising to the east end along and above the length of the island platforms. This is to allow out-of-service trains to leave the station box and reach the depot at Temple Mills.
Services:
The full service started on 13 December 2009 using Class 395 multiple units. The typical off-peak service is:
4tph (trains per hour) to St Pancras International (taking 7 minutes)
2tph to Faversham
1tph to Margate via Ashford International and Canterbury West
1tph to Dover Priory via Ashford International
There are 1 or 2 international trains per hour in each direction that pass through without stopping.
The peak hour service is 19 trains arriving at St Pancras between 07:00 and 09:59.
The typical off-peak service will be:
4tph (trains per hour) to St Pancras International (taking 7 minutes)
2tph to Faversham with 1 continuing to Ashford via Ramsgate and Dover
1tph to Margate via Ashford International and Canterbury West
1tph to Dover Priory via Ashford International continuing to
Gravesend via Ramsgate and Faversham.
During the 2012 Olympic Games, a service of eight trains an hour ran between St Pancras and Ebbsfleet, calling at Stratford, replacing the high speed service. Two of these would be extended to Ashford and one to Faversham. Between 11pm and 1am the service between St Pancras and Ebbsfleet would be increased to twelve per hour. To enable the domestic services to stop at platforms previously designed for Eurostar trains the platforms had to be raised.
Ah, Stratford... Concrete as far the eye can see.
7:36 ha, she missed her train
Aviation18 I actually feel sorry about her
Yeah it's not funny it is sad even she could be stranded
@@neilmcculloch4557 there is one every 30min to 1 hour
The little amount of 373s is because of the fleet's status:
15 of the 37 BR 373 sets were scrapped, 4 were preserved, 10 are stored, and 13 are in service/refurbished.
It's a shame no Eurostar trains even stop at the station. No point calling it International.
I believe the french budget highspeed service (Ouigo I believe) considered using Stratford international as a terminus for low cost euro tunnel services but I believe Eurostar had a paddy about there being other competitors on the line 🤷🏻♂️
I agree that’s what I wanted to call it before u said that
13:46 Thank Me Later
Coastliner700 ???
Luke Carter i know we all came here for the old eurostar
Thank you
😄
Thanks

Fantastic video do love standing there watching Eurostars flying through

Wonderful film mate, nice to see the 395s, they do look very smart, thumbs up from me Richard, keep up the good work
I was there for trainspotting once, the station hall and platform is so empty that makes it a bit creepy
Awesome Video. Thumbs up :)
Nice one mate :) love the 374s :)
I travelled on the Eurostar last Friday from Paris Gare Du Nord to London St Pancras.
I was on the 1330 departure to Faversham , boarded second coach London end at Stratford
Cool
it was horrendous that storm Erik richard
Very cool video!
I don't know why it's called Stratford international. I've never seen a Eurostar stop there in any vlog I've seen from this station. Nice. Video.
Me to missed the train GWR but we were saved by a class 800 to newbrea from Reading?... This will be to see that girl missing the 380 train to Faversham!
Superb mate
I wonder what Eurostar explanation is for not stopping at a station that Clearly states Stratford international. Interesting to find out.
1J36 sounds like it needs a bit of wheel lathe treatment
I still think HS2 services should have been plugged into this and into Ashford International.
Such a wasted opportunity.
Kinda weird to think of high speed trains running under london at speed
I drive these and i love it its the best job ever
Your UA-cam name says different
Maya McCallum 😂😂😂😂😂 so true
ItzAlbert_YT Roblox games and more dream on boy.....
I know @Maya McCallum I drive west midalands
Try again BOIZ
The 395s going to Ramsgate which is right, but on the destination blinds why is it they saying , Sandwich ?
When it's supposed to bring up Ramsgate, nice Trains you have got filmed mate
Simpli36524stagebus1728jsw Legend17Sophie it’s Doing the loop around Kent so it always does that
Yep I have fallen foul of that one before :(
According to Wikipedia fleet status the set featured at 13:42 was scrapped in 2017? #confused
That's not correct. There are actually still a few 373's still out and about for Eurostar and continue to operate services. I think they will be 100% gone by 2020
@@FABplanes Izy TMST is not refurbished and will stay so, but how long ? I have no idea. That sets will still belong to Eurostar.
@@RichardChalklin Is the older model going to continue service in France?
Nice video
Those HS1 trains look very similar to the class 800`s.Whats the difference? why not carry on using these tried and tested trains instead of buying different ones?or am i missing something
These are called the Class 395s, or "Javelins". They were built by Hitachi and are very similar to the Class 800/801/802. However there are many minor differences in the bodyshells and traction motors. The most major and significant difference is that the Class 395s are built with the French TVM430 in-cab signalling system. This is something that is used on France's TGV network because the trains travel at such high speeds that drivers wouldn't be able to tell what aspect the signals are set to. When HS1 in Britain was being constructed, it was taken into consideration to implement this system because of two reasons: 1) the trains were going to travel at high speeds (same reason I just said above); and 2) the Eurostar trains were already using France's TVM system in France, so it made sense to continue this effective system along the rest of the route where possible. When Southeastern announced its plans to have services on HS1, it was inevitable that they would have to use the same signalling systen as the Eurostar trains. And that's when the Class 395 was created. Hope this helped. You can learn a bit more on the subject by searching up "TVM430 Railway System" online or if you want to learb more about HS1 then search "HS1 Britain". However, I would recommend that you search up the Train Simulator manual for the Class 395 and scroll down until you reach the TVM430 guide. You can also chooss to do this with the French Train Simulatot route manuals (Méditeranée, Rhône-Alpes). I find these explanations to be more informative than Wikipedia's.
Bro I why was there the same blue train? It was annoying me because it's like it going backwards and forwards
7:35 poor girl. the driver probably saw her running too, long before they took off.
Can you go down to Ashford international one day
like train
Fastest train is a TVE duplex in the world of the France rail way
You can hear the spark at 21:48 i think
i have no idea why Eurostar never ever stops at Stratford international Richard Chalklin i bet they only stop at terminates stations and Ebbsfleet international dont they dude
British TrainsHD10 probably because the distance is too short to stop and start the trains
Can you spot at Cramlington?
Thats a little to far for me
no eurostars they should rename it to stratford westfield shopping centre
7:36 well, she missed her train.
The Fate of Slate LOOOOOL
Make a video of London overground
Why would anyone want to copy you footage

The max speed line is erostar

Thes no hs2or3 only hs1onlyexsist
Don’t like that station same three trains gets a bit boring tbh
The German ICE 3 is faster than both of them
ICE 3: 205mph
TGV: 200mph
Eurostar: 200mph
Javelin:145mph
Craig4wr no I mean normal tgv not the speed test one
I do believe the javelin can top a speed of 160mph
not used maybe
@@lucabarretta6216 the Javelin did do 160 once
@@ajf3202 yeah it did, but if above 140, it starts to become unstable
Nice video
Thanks becks x
