London to Paris in ten minutes.

0:02. Title sequence. 0:12. Started from Waterloo international train station. 1:38. Train departing. 5:21. Entering the channel tunnel (Goodbye UK🇬🇧). 5:24. Inside of channel tunnel (Below of Dover Strait). 6:39. Welcome to France🇫🇷. 11:54. Arrived at the Gare du Nord station.
This inadvertantly highlights the stark difference between the dreary, depressed, almost medieval English countryside and the well-kept, sprightly, modern environs of the mainland. England sucks.
old one Waterloo interasinol
Nice.

Anyone realise that if the class 373 can run on conventional lines in the uk,those units can theoretically run on this line and go north to Scotland just fine without HS1?
They did, mind you not from France but out of King's Cross under GNER.
@@monoonyx Dude I know that it’s just that it’s a possibility
Yeah but nowadays there isn't much benefit using North of London 373s vs a 800.. it'd besides take longer anyway to bother vs a actual high speed line.
How old is this?? Since 2007 the Eurostar has been leaving St Pancras station and using the HS1 line. However, from 1994-2007 it used to leave Waterloo and travel along the same lines as local trains, which was very time consuming. As a regular user of Eurostar, I enjoy travelling with them. These days it takes only half an hour to get from London to the Channel Tunnel and 140 min to get to Paris. Very impressive when you remember how it was in the days before Eurostar.
10 minutes?!, my God, this is actually faster that when hovercrafts were active! (The record in a hovercraft is 22 mins)
Magical, loved the music.
My father went from just Southwest of London to the East coast of France piloting a B-24 on D-Day, June 6, 1944 in about ten minutes.
What was that marvelous concerto? Symphony? Rachmaninoff or Tchaikovsky? I rode this original route out of Waterloo and have done it several times more out of St. Pancras International into Gare do Nord, Paris, or vice-versa. Splendid in every conceivable way!
Rachmaninoff concerto No.2 c minor! my favourite classical piece and happened to first hear it on this film many years ago. Still can’t find this particular version anywhere else but here though :(
First Class. Now if we can just figure out how to do something this good in the USA!
Magnífico
I wish there was a modern 4K version of this
everywhere else besides Isle o' France seems fuckingly treeless
"Ten minutes, of which the first seven are spent signal checked behind a 4-EPB on Notwork SouthEast" :)
Where can I find the full, uncut version of this at its original running time, and with the sounds and dialogue instead of the music?
Kurz gesagt: Ein Scheissfilm!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Good time lapse film!
3005 crashed in 2009😢
What would be the journey time for this if not sped up please?
Wunderfull 🤩🤩🤩😍😍😍😍💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
so poor..... english do not understand europe and progress... why the fuck did they not construct a completely single double rail for this train. New and away from existing rails, stations, town - as the french did. They did not understand tve idea if this line. How can tvey be so stupid, so unwilling or so poor. Or a mix of everything. Strange understanding of a fast link future rail betwen Paris and London. Hans Hansen | Hamburg, Germany
I am making a video where I make a mix of 'Eurostar, Europop' would it be OK if I use your video for B-roll?
This perfectly Illustrates in what dissarray our railway system was and most defientley still in!
This has a very 90's feel about. Nostalgic! Pre HD video.....so the colours are more muted than vibrant, and the graininess adds to the yesteryear look. Sometimes you do need to remember how video was - before vibrant colours and pin sharp imagery became the norm.
Fantastic movie! Lightning fast from Pancras To Nord!! I wish I would be allowed to ride with this fast one!!!! Well , I am going on the ES9019 on 5/7/23 Paris to London! Hope it won’t stop at Ashford ain’t and Ebbsfleet! Let me know!!! Thanks. Bless U all!!
Sorry , correction : on 5/722 and not 5/7/23! Sorry!
is the background music from a anime ? i think i remember it from a anime :
Rachmaninov's 2nd piano concerto
I dislike on account of persistent advertisements and I have not seen the video
i have no idear if its sped up or not
英法隧道全長50.45公里
for me its 5 mins cause i set speed to 2x
WRONG 14 min not 10
can I have my 13 mins back
Magistral, avec cette bande sonore! 👌
Steely Dan was ahead of their time… On that train all graphite and glitter Undersea by rail Ninety minutes from New York to Paris Well by seventy-six we'll be A.O.K. What a beautiful world this will be What a glorious time to be free
Can you imagine 158’s as Eurostar’s?
What do you mean? 158s running to France, it would be very slow, I'd guess about 4 hours
First time I travelled via the Chunnel, the Times newspaper was giving away free tickets, I chose London to Brussels and back.
I love this video, the music is beautiful and the shots are awesome. Good job!
9:47 on the front of the train, why was the pantograph down when the other one is up. Usually both of them are up.

Nice Channel Dear , Wonderful train Share 😘 Stay Connect Please
asik banget naik kereta api jarak jauh aku mau mencoba naik kereta api eurostar
Just found this on You Tube and I am so pleased it is available for all to view. This film holds a huge place in my heart. I was working for EPS/Eurostar at the time and was asked to design the camera mount and housing for locating externally on the power car 'nose'. I have fond memories of the time spent at North Pole with Peter; his crew and my good friend Gerry fitting the recording kit and the week spent filming between Waterloo and Gare du Nord. A great record of Eurostar on the third rail classic lines of Kent.
Always waned to see the Eurostar pass through my local 3rd rail station and now i have
Should have made it in the summer!
The USA California trains are much more interesting to watch.
They factually aren't.
10 minutes already boring.train journey..
So nice to see pristine stations and trains. Unfortunately stations and trains filth fro where I come from. Railway tracks and overhead wires vandalised and stolen. South Africa of course.
Mesmerising and the music is very fitting. Thanks for the upload, I'll show this to my son who never got to take the original route.
Great view. Appreciate it. :)
