The main reason was it was a peak arrival into St Pancras, seats at 16.30 onwards at St P are like gold dust. It's so often full to crush loading for the next 2 hours you wonder why people want to rush on to get a seat
@@grahamcutress47 not an excuse, I had the issue at london bridge where an old lady was getting off and people were barging on so me being 6ft5 told the cunts no one is getting on this fucking train until this old lady is off it, they didn't even have the decency to let an old lady off first and it made me angry
Thanks Thibault, great report again. I quite like this train. It takes quite a long time using the regular commuter lines so there is a huge advantage of making use of the high speed line, plus this helps to relieve overcrowding on the classic services too. I guess the reason you can't join the high-speed track at Folkestone is that many of these trains serve several intermediate stations between Folkestone and Ashford. It will be interesting to see what happens when other high-speed operators are granted a licence to run alongside Eurostar as the Javelins are designed to operate at 225 kph and could slow down any potential increase in rail traffic. As for the passengers trying to board while you were exiting, that's not pleasant but it's also not the norm..... might you have hesitated for just a few seconds before heading to the door? I've done that myself and suffered a similar fate.... :-)
Londoners are very polite and will always let people off the train first. I was raised that way but the people who push to get on first are long distance commuters. Longer distance commuters are normally so desperate to get home that they'll ditch politeness and courtesy in order to get a seat. I live in London so I don't commute long distances but when I was moving house last year I had to live with my parents for about six months whilst my house was being renovated. My parents live in Bath and after six months of commuting to London I can understand why people are desperate to just get on the train and go home. I've never felt more lucky to live in London. Although I felt pity for the people who commute long distances and then drive back home. I used to have a colleague who lived around a 45 minute drive outside of Bristol but every morning he would drive the 45 minutes to Temple Meeds station before then catching the 2 hour train ride to Paddington station in London then taking another 20 minute tube ride to our offices in the City of London. He has since found work in Bristol and from what I can tell he's much happier. Just when you criticise people for getting on the train before you've got off remember many of them just want to get home and see their kids.
This great video brings back more than a few memories and thoughts for this Japanese rail enthusiast. Dover Priory was where I first set foot in the UK in August 2005 after 4 fabulous days in Paris followed by a TGV ride to Calais Ville and a SeaFrance ferry ride across La Manche. Until I actually stepped on the Southeastern Class 375 to London Victoria I so looked up to the UK as the birthplace of the railway...but was I floored by how tight the space was on board. About 10 years after that I traveled between London and Devon several times in GWR Standard Class, and could not help appreciating the 40-inch seat pitch I get in Shinkansen Standard Class. I love enjoying British scenery in the comfort of a train with a cup of tea or glass of ale in hand...if only the trains were a bit more comfortable!
A high-speed commuter train is a concept that always intrigued me about these units. Sure they only spend about 60 miles or so on actual High Speed tracks, but the fact that they do at all is something admirable
Southeastern dubs this as a premium service anyways so the need let alone demand for a first class section is low. Javelins are perfectly acceptable high speed commuter trains.
@@tescotrain it’s not only that, southeastern said that they want all there passengers on this service to be treated the same meaning no one gets “better” experience
I always enjoy your trip reports! I rode this train to Rochester, and back to London, two years ago, and I has a 1st Class Eurailpass, so I just hopped on, and no guard ever checked my pass. I found out later that the Pass is NOT GOOD on this line, for some stupid reason, so Pass-holders beware! 🤐
Enjoyed the video and just subscribed. The designed top speed of these trains is 225kph but they normally run up to 200kph in regular service. Keep up the good work!
They definitely run at 225km/h in regular service, however most other trains in the UK capable of that speed don’t since they don’t have in cab signalling (which is required for >200km/h operation in the UK). This train does however so can run at full speed!
Really awesome! Enjoyed these very much when I travelled to Ebbsfleet International to visit a friend who lives near there. Also, there are much larger accessible toilets at the end cars.
395s are, predominantly, regional trains that can go pretty quick to get them into the Capital to save pathing issues at some other, busier stations in London.
Just one small point: at 2:04 you compare the seats to 'some of the UK's newer HSTs...' I know HST is a generic term for high speed trains around the World, but here in the UK it's a specific term for a much-loved self contained diesel express, loved by enthusiasts, crews and- crucially- by passengers too. Large, comfortable padded seats, air conditioning that keeps you cool in summer and warm in winter, sound insulation which makes you think you've gone deaf and some of the best air sprung suspension anywhere on Stephenson's railways. Their cheap and nasty replacements, however, aren't worthy of comment.
@@NonstopEurotrip We left the European Union, not Europe you spanner! By your logic Switzerland, Norway, Iceland, Ukraine and Russia among others aren't in Europe either.
I live on a route served by HS1 services. I am not a fan of them at all. They slowed down journeys from the Medway Towns in order to make HS1 look faster. The existing regional trains on the classic lines are more comfortable anyway (they have an even smaller seatpitch, that said I'm 5'4" and much prefer a tight seatpitch). One extra thing of note is that you seemed too pleased that the toilet was functional. A working toilet is something we tend to expect on any train, suburban, regional, or intercity. That said, Southeastern have had issues with keeping toilets working lately. But they won't let you use a broken/dirty toilet, they'll have a message on the info screens about toilets being out of order in X coach.
There's a reason why the 395 goes slow in the Third rail parts,you simply can't,On third rail,the max speed is 100 mph due to low voltage,to go at really high speeds,you need at least 25 Kv
I’ve been on a lot of southeastern trains, the interior of this just looks like the rest. Fairly impressive if you think what appears to be a standard regional commuter train can do 140
You should try Paddington to Penzance in second class. The trains are similar. The HS1 journeys are quite short whereas Paddington to Penzance takes five and a half hours and there is no buffet car.
Commentaires : 1) Un train de 11 ans n'est pas "vieux", il est entièrement "numérisé", ce n'est pas comme certains Corails des années 70 ou des Transiliens des années 60. 2) Tu as entièrement raison en faisant remarquer que ce n'est pas bien lorsque les gens ne laissent pas sortir les passagers et veulent rentrer avant. C'est très impoli et si tu as beaucoup de bagages, c'est le calvaire. Mais comment éduquer les gens? De nos jours, c'est comme cela, hélas. 😣 3) Je me méfie toujours lorsqu'un train ne donne pas aux passagers les numéros de place où ils doivent s'asseoir, 😂 cela offre généralement peu de prestations et une qualité médiocre de voyage, "généralement" bien sûr "pas toujours". 4) Ton trip report est beaucoup trop court. Le voyage est court mais 5 minutes en plus auraient été la bienvenue. (Et oui, qu'est-ce que tu veux, on en demande toujours plus!!!)😉 Et surtout merci à toi Thibault de nous faire voyager, c'est un véritable plaisir.😍 En espérant qu'il te reste plein de trip reports en stock !!! merci encore à toi. 🤩 🤩
I like the Javelin trains. I have travelled on one from Rochester to London St Pancras and the journey was a pleasure. You are right, the seats are far more comfy than the new Intercity Expresses they have introduced on the GWR and ECML. I find those trains not very comfy and the seats too thin and upright. I have a Javelin train set at home
I definitely think the main purpose of this train is a commuter service, it does have less of a long haul feel given it’s a high speed train (well, high speed to English standards)!
Ha I just stop when people try to board a train when I’m trying to get off. They soon realise they have to move aside. That’s commuter time though so it’s every man for themselves to try and find a seat.
And also I hate it when people board the train and forcing passengers who are exiting the train is commuters worst nightmare. Even when commuters are rushing to get on the train.
The BR class 800 is an IET not an HST The term HST in Britain is related to the class 43 HST train that was created in the 1970s It is arguable that it is a High Speed Train, but times change terms
Some points to note, as these are my local train: - I believe it is possible to get onto HS1 before Ashford but there is no point, as you have to go off of it to get into Ashford International. - Throughout the video you said that the train was very commuter-like. That's because they are. Even the stopping services at my station have been entirely taken over by them! - As for the toilet, most British trains have functioning toilets (unless you live in the North I presume). Southeastern are actually very good at train maintenance and running them for the Mainline side (Metro is dire). Anyway, a good video. Since this trip was more 'local', could you consider doing more of them? How about Charing Cross to Dover in first class? TransPennine Express? Thameslink? TER?
I don’t think you can get onto HS1 before Ashford unless you’re coming from the Channel Tunnel IIRC. I think the overhead wire is set at Channel Tunnel height too until about Westenhanger and I’m not sure whether the 395 pans are compatible (or the point where the TVM signalling coding changes from Channel Tunnel to HS1)
You can get onto HS1 from the classic line at Sandling. This is how Eurostar’s reached the tunnel before HS1. Heading London bound to get onto HS1 you would need to reverse of course. There would be a point to get onto HS1 before Ashford as this would save 15 minutes
TheTelephonePrankster: Would you not need at least two reversals (and possibly need to enter Channel Tunnel infrastructure) to get onto HS1 though? At which point, most of those “15” minutes would be lost (and you can pretty much forget it if you need to enter CT infrastructure)
@@thetelephoneprankster4254 I don’t see how 15 minutes would be saved - you would barely reach maybe 130 mph before having to slow for the call at Ashford. If not calling at Ashford then yes agreed.
Short, useful and informative. Nice one, however a couple of small points: The 395 Javelins were actually built as High Speed commuter trains hence the regional feeling expressed throughout the video. Seeing First Class would have been nice as well, but nevermind - if it doesn't have it then just throw it in as a caption. Also, WHY IS THERE NO JUNCTION AT FOLKESTONE?! Another example of this country's incapability of building railways. Anyway, great video nevertheless! 👍
Did you get a chance to check out some of Greater Anglia’s FLIRTs? Definitely some of Britain’s best regional trains imo (and debatably a better intercity service than on the 80x)
Very nice and scenic trip report I guess southeastern high speed is only high speed London to east Kent then after a commuter train which could be useful when I eventually decide to do bus adventures in Kent but at the end when the commuters push in before letting you off that's very rude I also hate that it's not like the trains gonna go away they can't wait like 5-10 seconds or so for people to get off
Having watched quite a few of your trip reports its always struck me how busy/full services are in the UK. Would you say in your experience that this is the case?
UK resident here. The business of trains all depends on where you are in the country. In the southern region, trains might be 8 carriages long during the day and still feel busy, but up north, where the population is less dense, a 2-Car train will suffice on most routes. The railway has been central to the development of the UK since its inception, and where the trains have gone, swathes of housing has typically followed, just look at North London to see examples of that happening.
Wow I live in northern england and we always wait for everyone to alight first before boarding! People in london are awful. You really need to come up to northern england. It is so much nicer up here
I'm from the UK and I also live in dover and I know why there isn't seat reservations as it does high speed and regional services to so it would be annoying for anyone only on for 1 or more stops
I have no idea why the Brits always insist on cheap interiors and less comfortable seats... Honestly, it is not really fair given the railways are quite expensive.
Nonstop Eurotrip It’s not that at all. 320km/h will be the standard for HS2, with 360km/h capability only there for future proofing. 300km/h would be too slow to offer a competitive journey time against air travel or alternative classic lines
There’s little to be gained going at that faster speed. You can only achieve that east of Ebbsfleet anyway. Acceleration on the non high speed sections will suffer if the units were geared for 300 kph.
If you had gone to the toilet at the other end of the train, you would have found a much larger toilet designed for wheelchair access, and has a baby changing facility.
The logic is the higher speed is only possible between ashford and just short of Ebbsfleet. Instead the units have good acceleration both on the high speed line and classic lines which they wouldn’t have if geared for 300 kph.
Im from the uk and that was quite rude of people bording before you got off
It's my biggest pet peeve, the only thing that spoils train travel for me :(
Yeah I agree as most of the time you wait to board

I use this train regularly, it’s very good although it’s a shame it’s always packed and doesn’t have a 1st class

The reason it feels quite like a regional train is because it acts as on on the Kent mainlines and only really does proper HS service on HS1
because it is

just to pint out the javilen can acctaully run at 157 but its top service speed 140

ITS NOT A HST ITS A JAVELIN AND A 800 IS A IET
A HST IS A CLASS 43
Did you do the line that goes from St Pancras to Margate, Javelin and the slow train?
Very nice your episode i am Indian
Good way by the HS1
Some of the passengers on board looked a bit scary 😳
lol 225km/h is pretty slow by European standards.
That's why the government want HS2 to do 360km/h and not just 300km/h, they want something to show for 'our' £105bn+ tax money 💰🤷🏻♂️
Nonstop Eurotrip It’s not that at all. 320km/h will be the standard for HS2, with 360km/h capability only there for future proofing. 300km/h would be too slow to offer a competitive journey time against air travel or alternative classic lines
Speed isn't top priority
5:03 Oh man, that happens often at me in Switzerland. That´s so dumb!
Southeastern really needs to get rolling stock capable of at least 186mph for the faster sections of HS1
That would not fit well to be honest.
There’s little to be gained going at that faster speed. You can only achieve that east of Ebbsfleet anyway. Acceleration on the non high speed sections will suffer if the units were geared for 300 kph.

Bit unfair, I think they're quite nice. :)
@@SuperalbsTravels I dont like it because its operated by southeastern
they must be happy now in the UK, since a few people left for the EU, the trains are not more so overcrowded!
The HS1 is what you are riding
Doesn't this train have a first class?
These trains don't have a first class as they mostly operate in regional services
No, but you pay a higher fare for any journey on HS1 as opposed to via the classic network.
Doa trip in the USA
You forgot to talk about the WiFi and the free movies / TV shows
Lol it is no an HST in the sense that most people would refer to HST when talking about an Intercity 125
As in it's faster, you mean?
HST anywhere outside of the UK just means any Highspeed Train, not referring to any specific model
16:15 and it's already dark! urrgh
People boarding/pushing before letting others get off - I thought this was unique to India.
Gud
Lol, no matter how much they advertise it as, it is not high speed by any standard.
c'est vrai qu'à 5:07 les gens sont des connards a ne pas te laisser sortir. Moi qui croyait qu'en Anglettere c'est mieux ...
2:21 Hst?
High speed train not the hst. People also call them TGV's(high speed train) not because they are tho😅
@@eurostare300tmst5 ah lol, makes sense, just used to hst meaning class 43, sorry! Thanks😊
@@edwardmortimer2150 Same tbh, I was confused when someone said hst on another video

High speed????
Over 125mph is considered high speed.
100% british
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂😂
A Japanese-built train running on a line that conforms to French high speed standards... sounds about right 🤣
I don’t understand why these trains top out at 140mph when the line is capable of higher speeds. What’s the logic in that?
Cause i think the eurostar also runs on this line;p
The logic is the higher speed is only possible between ashford and just short of Ebbsfleet. Instead the units have good acceleration both on the high speed line and classic lines which they wouldn’t have if geared for 300 kph.
