Quite by chance (as the sun was out) I ventured in darkest Kent today to
take some pictures at the junction between new and old Eurostar routes.
After a bit of a struggle to get there because my sat-nav didn't know a road
had been blocked off, I arrived at the very convenient bridge visible on the
map, only to find it gated and barb-wired!
30 years ago I might have struggled over but I decided to find an
alternative but far less satisfactory position on an adjacent bridle path.

Having only a guestimate for train times, I managed repeatedly to have
wandered away from the "best" vantage point every time a train passed with
the results you will see (the flowers are nice though).

I was also caught out by 2 services on the "new" line, following scheduled
trains up and down. I have marked them as to and
from St. Pancras but in truth I don't know where they were going. Does
anyone have a schedule? Picture links below - the 2 non-eurostar pics helped
me fill in the time! Rather them than me.

Anyway, between 1030 and 1130 this site is quite busy if anyone who has no
fear of ripped trousers (or worse) wants to have a go!
