Eurostar

Thanks, but also, when driving the Eurostar through the Channel Tunnel, that’s all.

 

Tunnel starts at 1:15

 

I have already seen these. What I meant, is that if the Eurostar does come out, maybe, in the future. I would love to drive the Eurostar on a full journey between London St Pancras International and Paris Gare Du Nord/Brussels Midi. That is all I was saying.

 

Sorry, misunderstood your message.

 

No, it is fine. Besides I have seen 2 driver eye views of the Eurostar. So, I pretty much know the power changes, the signalling systems, etc.

 

So you want to see a grey wall with lights? R.I.P. Money

 

London, UK to Amsterdam, Netherlands

 

The latest eurostar route 3hr 15 min end to end and this requires LGV 4 Antwerp Schipol Airport to be playable. Original route is Ebbsfleet to Paris Gare Du Nord and Brussels Midi to which a dlc transfer is available to Schnellfahrstrecke Köln Aachen

DTG has indeed taken the Eurostar route. I know that the price may be ridiculously high at that time, and I will fully support one.

 

is this like, route opinions?

What is this supposed to mean?

 

DTG's Eurostar license, don't know when they can get the license. Hope to make progress in the coming year, this year is the era of steam trains.

 

that's if they decide to which I highly doubt.

 

The route is far too long for TSW's current abilities.

 

They are not - but the pan needs to be lowered for the height lock to change between standard and Eurotunnel heights, same with leaving the LGV at Paris - the height lock is different on the French classic lines - also I'm pretty sure they don't join the classic network at Lille - they stay on LGV though Europe station so should stay on LGV pan setting (there is a connection into Lille's Classic Gare for the Lille to Paris TGVs)

 

Yep , when I got the Eurostar last year from Lille Europe the train did depart and just sped right up to what I reckon was probably 300KMPH

They don't join the classic lines at Lille - there is a 200km/h speed limit, but they stay on LGV all the way though Lille

 

Precisely.

 

I would too. For me, it's the anticipation of bursting out the other end. I'd probably drive it with the HUD off so I didn't know when it was coming. But that's me. Probably fell on my head as a child.

 

You mean the 30 miles 50 km Channel Tunnel. Max Speed is 160 km/h (100 mph). For HS1 Channel Tunnel LGV Nord Calais-Paris Nord Europe Journey mode will be Chapter 1 Introduction Chapter 2 Goods Driver Class 92 Chapter 3 Le Shuttle Driver and lastly Chapter 4 Eurostar Driver and lastly Chapter 5 TGV Driver (Paris Nord Calais via Lille). This one can layer LGV Mediterranean Line because you have Calais Marsellie services and the Brussels Marseille Services TGV Resau 4500 series. Basically the Main Spessart Bahn of the French & British High-Speed Rail system for its ability to layer Different DLC Trains Class 373 374 & TGV Resau 4500 series Standard for the route and TGV Duplex LGV Mediterrean Line. Even the TGV 2N2 & POS for LGV Est a future DLC route can be layered here because those are used for Calais-Lille-Strasbourg services. Regarding the king of layers the Main Spessart Bahn layers that give services to it are RRO MRCE BR185 RSN DB155 Red DB BR185 & Rapid Transit DB BR182. In return Main Spessart Bahn gives DB BR146.2 and Rallion DB BR185 to RRO RSN Hamburg-Lübeck Haputstrecke München Augsburg Haputstrecke Rhein-Ruhr and Schnellfahrstrecke Köln-Aachen. Not rapid transit

 

Not bad idea.

 

This is the Eurostar Train in DB Livery from Frankfurt to Paris.

 

An ICE, but at the same time, the shape does looks like the E320 Eurostar.

 

E300, 373, Eurostar

 

I mean this Eurostar Train, it’s the Same Version from the Deutsche Bahn ICE Train from my photo.

 

I know. I was just showing a picture of the other Eurostar, the old 373.

 

Nice video
