A few shots taken 2 days ago, of the High Speed 1 line from London to the tunnel, now used by the 140mph domestic Hitachi built trains, as well as Eurostars running to Paris and Brussels.

Had a few runs on the new trains,seeing as my free tickets are now valid on there, and all quite impressive, slightly too much wind noise in the roof spaces, and the air con is a bit over efficient, but the time saving makes all the difference, London to Ashford was over an hour, hour 15, now is around 37 to 40 minutes.
