High Speed Trains at the North Downs Tunnel, HS1 - 30/03/18

Video: An evening spotting high speed trains at the North Downs Tunnel (or Blue Bell Hill Tunnel) on High Speed 1. This was filmed from Bridge 750 situated by the southern end of the tunnel and on the historic path called Pilgrims Way.
At this point of HS1 the linespeed is at its peak so most services here were doing the full 300kmh / 186mph (excluding the Javelins of course), that being said though by sunset there was a fault on the London-bound line which caused a 374 to do a rare manoeuvre of using the 'wrong' line. Then as a knock on effect there were a few speed restrictions on the 'down' line and later the reopened 'up' line with a 395 & 374 crawling by slowly into the tunnel. Things returned to normal by the very end with a London-bound 373 going by at full speed into the tunnel.

TRAINS INCLUDED:
Eurostar Class 373 TGV TMST e300s & Class 374 Velaro e320s and Southeastern Class 395 Javelins.
