I have been making a route on Train Simulator; but I am stuck on the Eurostar track as I do not know the track heights/gradients, I would like to know them from St Pancras to Folkestone (or Eurostar tunnel)
Does anyone know where I can find information for this?

I have tried looking online, even tried asking a few people, nothing.

Try importing terrain then use the Google Maps overlay to guide your track placements. I'm not sure of any references for heights but HS1 does lay mostly on constructed bridges.

HS1 Section 2 Register of Infrastructure

Go to PDF Page 54 (best to download and view in your system reader rather than in the browser) and you'll have all the information you could ever need, plus more. There's another Register of Infrastructure available for Section 1 as well, somewhere on the internet.

I do use Google map overlay and import terrain, but is not enough.
I did make the entire route using them, but then remade it again when I found out the track heights/gradients.

Thank you, the download did not want to open nor show up in browser but I search the link title and found something that is roughly the same.

Thankx and yes, I tried to get my own image there, but I did not see an opinion for it.
