Anyone know the platform offsets for St Pancras Intl (& Stratford International International platforms, also Ashford and Ebbsfleet Intl).
Obviously they take a 374, much wider not only in the main body but in the lower sector than UK stock. By eyeballing them from videos, it doesn't seem that they can take full 3.15m wide GC stock, which are wider than the 2.9m Velaro by about 20cm.
They are of course at considerable vertical and horizontal remove from a 373's doors; by visual inspection from videos, the 374, built for vertically lower Continental platforms, fits them rather better.
