Ashford Loading Gauge

[starrymarkb]

Was thinking about the Velaros that Eurostar are getting (subject to protestations by the French) and was wondering would they fit in Ashford station. I know the new build stations on HS1 have UIC height platforms but is that the case at Ashford?

I too would be interested to know. Since we only have had trains built to British loading gauge operating into the station.

In terms of height they raised the tracks about the time st pancras opened i think so it should be at the right height for the valeros
