And lastly the timetable notes a "Daylight HS1 track inspection"
period around noon, though then goes on to say that "Currently track
engineers inspect high speed infrastructure during daylight hours.
This is being reviews for the start of the full service in December
2009."

Interesting. Presumably this is currently fitted around 'white
periods' on the LGV Nord.

What's the point of daylight inspection between Ebbsfleet and St Pancras?
Most of it is in tunnel, so daylight makes no difference.

There's a gap between E* departures from St Pancras between 1100 and 1229
(except on Fridays and Sundays). However there is no corresponding gap
between arrivals, which are at approximately hourly intervals at that sort
of time of day.

Is work (including inspections) banned on both lines when trains are
running at normal speed, or is work permitted on one line when the
other is open for normal running? It was reported here that this was
banned in France after the death of some staff and either both lines
are closed or a speed restriction imposed on both of them (can't
remember which, it may vary).
