Back at Ebbsfleet station for another visit with the camcorder. Only 1 skipper heading towards London and various heading out to France.
Ebbsfleet info:
Ebbsfleet International railway station is a railway station in Ebbsfleet Valley, in the Borough of Dartford, Kent, 10 miles (16 kilometres) outside the eastern boundary of Greater London, England. It is near Dartford and the Bluewater shopping centre to the west and Gravesend to the east. The station is part of the Thames Gateway urban regeneration, a project of national priority. It stands on the High Speed 1 rail line, around 400 metres (440 yards) south-west of Northfleet railway station and the Stonebridge Road area of Northfleet. The station lies off the A2 trunk road, about 5 mi (8 km) from its junction with the M25 motorway. During the London 2012 Olympics, it served as a primary park-and-rail service as it is very close to the M25 motorway, allowing easy access for over 10 million commuters.
Ebbsfleet International is owned by HS1 Ltd, which acquired a 30-year concession to own and operate the High Speed 1 railway and the stations St Pancras railway station, Stratford International, Ebbsfleet International and Ashford International.
Origin of the name:
The name Ebbsfleet is an artificial creation of seventeenth-century antiquaries, partly inspired by the name of Ebbsfleet in Thanet, 75 km (47 mi) to the east.
History:
The station opened to the public on 19 November 2007 for people travelling on South Eastern High Speed Trains, later than St Pancras International because the security equipment was transferred from Waterloo International. The station was formally opened to Eurostar and dedicated in a ceremony by Dame Kelly Holmes on 29 January 2008.
Naming:
"Ebbsfleet International Station" was the name originally proposed for the station, but "Dartford International Station" was later proposed at the urging of Eurostar, who felt that Dartford was a name with greater national recognition. Opposition to Eurostar’s ‘Dartford International’ proposal came from Gravesham Borough Council, whose administrative centre at Gravesend is just two miles (3.2 km) away (even though Ebbsfleet International is in the borough of Dartford and therefore outside Gravesham council's authority); Southfleet Parish Council; and Swanscombe and Greenhithe Town Council, both in the Borough of Dartford. The similarity of its name to that of Dartford railway station, 6 mi (10 km) away, was also of concern.
Services:
As of the Summer 2014 timetable, there are up to five Eurostar services to Paris on Mondays to Fridays, up to four on Saturdays and three on Sundays. Most of these services run non-stop from Ebbsfleet to Paris, though some also stop at Ashford en route. There are four trains to Brussels on Mondays to Fridays, three on Saturdays and two on Sundays. All Brussels services call at Lille and some also call at Calais. There is also a return service on most days to Marne-la-Vallée for the Disneyland Paris resort, which also calls at Ashford and Lille (in the France-bound direction only). It is not permitted to use Eurostar services for domestic journeys in the UK. Since the station's opening, Eurostar has withheld passenger usage statistics for international services, citing commercial confidentiality.
On 29 June 2009 Southeastern started a weekday preview service between St Pancras International and Ebbsfleet International, extending to Ashford International during peak hours. On 7 September the service was enhanced by a few services to Ramsgate via Canterbury West or Dover. A regular service began on 13 December 2009.
The typical off-peak service was:
4 trains per hour to St Pancras International, taking 17 minutes;
2 trains per hour to Faversham;
1 train per hour to Margate via Ashford International and Canterbury West;
1 train per hour to Dover Priory via Ashford International, Folkestone West and Folkestone Central.
Additional trains, in peak hours only, serve Maidstone West, Broadstairs via the Medway towns, and Sandwich.
Since 2 January 2015 the off peak service is:
4 trains per hour to St Pancras International, taking 17 minutes;
2 trains per hour to Faversham with 1 continuing to Ashford via Ramsgate and Dover;
1 train per hour to Margate via Ashford International and Canterbury West;
1 train per hour to Dover Priory via Ashford International, Folkestone Central continuing to Gravesend via Ramsgate and Faversham.
Layout:
On High Speed 1 there are avoiding lines in each direction and four platforms, two serving international Eurostar services and two the Southeastern Highspeed services. Southeastern services travelling between London and the North Kent Line use a junction to the north of the station and are served by another pair of platforms that curve away to the east.
Ticket barriers control access to all platforms.
I think the 374s are really cool and I like the hum it makes when idling
The state of 3213 was quite shocking! The other 373s that have been refurbished look stunning in the new livery! It's a shame some of them have deteriorated to that extent.
20-odd years doesn't seem so long but I guess in terms of mileages attained they have more than payed their way.
The Class 373s still sound great. Great flyby by the Velaro.
The Eurostar 373
Good old class 373
Not to sound too picky but calling it TGV-TMST would be more accurate.

fantastic video Richard especially seeing the trains particular the Eurostar going through at very high speed and great plane spotting too mate
Video author: Turn down the volume it’ll be loud
Me: *Turns up the volume all the way*
Video author: Wait, that’s illegal.
Great video dude, nice one. Glad you got to see some Class 373's in action too. :)
Très belle vidéo bravo à toi très beau le Rostand
Nice station and great traffics 👍
One 373 at speed, that's all I needed, thank you.
Need more
I come here a lot to train spot and ride on the trains and themselves, and I've also been on the Eurostar to Lille.
bruh idk why the javelin train's face is so cute
I had heard the TGV TMST suffered a lot from corrosion, but I did not image it would be visually so bad. However, considering conditions inside the tunnel are close to those of a rainforest (high temperatures with near maximum humidity) with added salt in the atmosphere, it is not that surprising.
Cool video!
Catch the 373s while you can is my advice.
Great video, I like the new livery on the 373, maybe some units will remain in service for few years.
@The secular humanist But now with the coronavirus they will be kept in Temple mills depot or Forest midi depot until covid is gone. Once its gone they will go back into service. That’s how I imagine it to be.
0:15 the first ever javelin!
Lol sometimes you forget that 373s actually stop and depart. Barely ever seen them stop and depart from a station ,only usually spot them going super fast haha
good one love that they pass through lol
Class 374 the train that has couplers like class 373 and the sound was just like a elefhant scream and they have 8 pantographs and clean toilet, ganway, restaurant and first class but I hear something weird is (theres a electric sound at coach 2) and their motorsikal were 859 kw and its was made by Siemens family and alstom productions
I mean electric motor cause I am from Malaysia and IT has autocorrect of malay speaking
7:18 What a nice stop 🛑 on the class 373
Great shots the Eurostar set 373213 is not in the up to date livery me thinks it could be at the end of its service and could be scrapped soon ?
I’ve been on the javelins, they fast!
I’ve been on Eurostars they’re fantastic too!
Ebbsfleet International Is A Great Place For Stopping Southesatern & Eurostar Services
Did You See The Services To Bourj St Maurice & Marseille At Ebbsfleet?
3213/3214 are now in IZY services!
7:34 that's some quite bad metal corrosion
Ive been on Eurostar its like a bullet train Wheeeeeee!!!!!
I thought trains were never aloud to leave early but they could arrive early
Do the sleepers on HS1 have to be really close together?
What is the grate on one of the platforms for?
6:38 rip loud headphone users
Think it's wrose? Look at the 180's sound when arriving!
Cpr1234 Thats why I put a warning before the train arrived
i like eurostar departue sound there op
The Velaros sounds like the future. Awesome units
Get out of here. Right now.
Velaros are making 373 be scrapped in someway. They are also ugly af
not a camera expert but noticed that other ppl zoom out when panning across then zoom back in
When it's departing 373 the thingys look horrible
8:07
Can someone explain why at 4.10 the class 373 has not the same layout as usual ?
You mean the 10-8 layout?
The train goes to St Pancras International to St Pancras International??? 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
The brakes are not loud enough
Why is the flag of Bosnia & Herzegovina prevalent in this video?
:) ;)
4:10
How many 373's are left ?
Carl Braithwaite Not much
as far as i know one in a railway museum in york, and two modernized ones will remain in service for a couple of years
Eurostar has remains about 8 of the 373's. Some of them has alerady refurbished while most of them still hasn't refurbish yet.
I mean the surviving 373 that is waiting for refurbished. Not the one that is alerady scrapped.
im a boy srry its my sister thats using it
Noisy brakes and trains..geez Eurostar you can do better
First
Stagecoach
Arriva
Disliked the video because it had a plane in it. Title said trains not planes.
Is this for real? 😒😒😒
Is that really your argument?
The weakest arguement on youtube. Ive seen 12 year olds raging on xbox that have better agruements then that
I’m not someone to judge usually but an single plane can’t do any harm, people die that’s harm not an single plane on an video....
