Trains at Ashford International, HS1 and SEML (28/02/26)

In this video, the first station I visit in 2026 is Ashford International, an approximate 40 minute journey on HS1 out of St Pancras International, as well as an approximate 1 hour and 40 minutes out of London Victoria, and around 1 hour and 25 minutes out of London Charing Cross. Throughout the 1 hour and 35 minute span of the visit, you'll be seeing services from Southeastern and Eurostar, with a Network Rail test train making an appearance, courtesy of GB Railfreight. During the time I was here, Southern services were replaced by bus, with engineering works taking place on the Marshlink line towards Eastbourne and Hastings. Rolling stock throughout this video include: British Rail Class 73 (GB Railfreight) Built by BREL (Class 73/0) in 1962, and English Electric (Class 73/1) from 1965 to 1967 Class 73/9 rebuilt and converted by Brush Traction, now part of Wabtec, from 2013 to 2026 British Rail Class 373 (Eurostar) Built by GEC Alsthom, now Alstom, from 1992 to 1996 British Rail Class 374 (Eurostar) Built by Siemens from 2011 to 2018 British Rail Class 375 (Southeastern) Built by Bombardier, now part of Alstom, from 1999 to 2005 British Rail Class 395 (Southeastern) Built by Hitachi Rail from 2007 to 2009 My next station will be Eastleigh, on the South Western Main Line. Train details are as followed: Unit and/or locomotive number(s): Trains that operate on the UK rail network are designated under the Total Operations Processing System, TOPS for short. The class of train can be determined by either the first two (locomotives, such as 66090, which would be a Class 66) or three numbers (multiple units, such as 221122, which would be a Class 221). More info can be found here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TOPS#TO... Headcodes: Train reporting numbers, headcodes for short, are used by railway signallers to determine where trains are on the network. Every train within a region has a specific four code ID, 1O10 for example. For trains travelling a long distance, the country is divided into areas based upon the old British Rail regions, with each one being assigned a letter (for example, the letter E has been assigned to the Eastern region, or the letter L being assigned to the Anglia region).
