The other difference between the Channel Tunnel and the tube is there
are no stations so limited braking and acceleration to generate heat.
But the trains have to be powered towards the tunnel exits as there is
an upward gradient.

And therefore correspondingly reduced power on the downward gradient at the
entrances.
