The Japanese ‘Bullet Trains’, French TGVs and German Inter-City ICE trains had all left Britain standing. Then, the launch of high-speed services from the Channel Tunnel to St Pancras for international Eurostar services in 2007 brought Britain’s railways to European high speed standards. This service, however, cannot be used domestically as travellers from London cannot leave the train in the UK.

However, the domestic UK train passenger can now enjoy the countryside from the window of the Japanese designed and built Hitachi trains at 140 mph/225 kmh as they travel to and from London. This follows the introduction of the Class 395 high speed train by the railway company that serves much of the South East of England. These 29 six-car EMUs (Electric Multiple Units) are permanently coupled carriages with driving cabs at both ends of the train.

Southeastern has launched its high speed train service from Ashford International station to St Pancras International station, the gloriously renovated high Victorian terminus station while at the same time introducing it on other, regional lines in Kent.
