It's not often you get to see inside a complex powerhouse like this, but our curator Bob Gwynne and special guest Chris McCandless-Stone from Eurostar take you through its history, design and every detail of its mind-boggling features inside and out.
Eurostar had a tough task on its hands as it had to work on electric power in three different countriesāFrance, Belgium and the UKāeach of which had different electricity and signalling systems. It also had to run at high speed through the Channel Tunnel, a brand-new route created under the English Channel linking England with France by rail. The end result is a locomotive with a vast array of systems, controls and electrical components.

Nice reminder of these units. I drove these to Paris and Brussels from 1993 to 2011. Some French sets also had a 1500dc setting which used the 3kv dc pantograph for the south of France, this allowed it's use to Avignon and Bourg Saint Maurice.

While we don't have high-speed rail at the moment, we do hope that once a peaceful reunification is achieved that the network built in the South would be expanded so that the whole peninsula is better connected.

This marvel reminds me of Concorde: a Franco-British project, a very complex piece of engineering, a beautiful exterior design, and a seamless passenger experience.

Got more button and switches than a swiss army knife! Really enjoyed taking a good look inside a Eurostar train, thanks for showing is inside the Eurostar

When the Channel Tunnel first opened I lived in Tonbridge Kent and would watch this pass by on the mainline. It was never as noisy as the media made out. Itās such a shame how the others ended up before being scrapped.

Chris and Bob were both stellar in this one. Rarely seemed like they needed to pause and think about what they were saying, it all comes out so naturally!
Also, I don't know if the NRM is taking requests for episodes of this series, but might I cheekily suggest the EM1? Building off of the previous episodes which have both been on electrics.

Another great video! One recommendation from me as a very frequent visitor and rail enthusiast of a younger generation, is to do this live in the museum and allow people to go inside these icons of engineering and history that āmy grandfather droveā or āI remember seeing that in 2007ā ect. These videos are great especially for those who canāt get to the museum but those in the museum (especially young kids) want to see something move, sit in the drivers seat to do that dream of sitting in the cab of a high speed train as well as seeing it. The potential is huge and should definitely be considered.

These are better than any Netflix show. Please keep them coming! ā¤ļø

I love these videos where we get to see the "guts" of the locomtive and get an idea of how they actually function. Very informative and provides a much richer context for the locomotives on display. The NRM could do better on that front I think, as the information boards on display in the great hall are very brief and give little technical or historical detail of locos. These guys should write a NRM "spotters guide" with some of these technical and hostorical fact for visitors.

This is a fabulous series, been dying to visit for years and this is just pulling me closer. Thanks for taking the time to make this, it's beautiful seeing these works of art up close

Imagine if Eurostar hadn't been stopped by the British govt to run services farther into the UK, and have night trains going all the way from Scotland to France. It would have been so amazing.
