Video: The return journey from Brussels South (BruxellesMidi/BrusselZuid back to London St Pancras International on a Eurostar Class 373 TGV TMST or e300. Because this journey is headed in the Londonbound direction more of the Belgian suburban network/stations can be seen, as well as Rainham (partially) and Dagenham Dock stations on the UK side, however stations like MontdeTerre in France and Ashford International in the UK cannot be seen.
This was another nonrefurbished e300 set (3215/3216) operating on service 9157 to London St Pancras International which stops at Lille only. This time round, I sat in seat 54 in coach 1 which again is adjacent to the power car, but the motors in the carriage were noticeably quieter than the ones in the 373 set I took to Brussels to my disappointment. Also, this journey felt like an evening rave with a group of guys who just spoke loudly for the entire journey making really hard at times to hear the motors at points. But other than that seat 54 had a much better seattowindow positioning than seat 15 (in the last video), which allowed me to film more of the scenery coming towards the train rather than just straight out at the window, the only slight obstruct in this case was the sunlight. The approach into St Pancras was a bit slow as I think train 9157 clashes with a few peak hour Javelins at Stratford International.
