This September Southeastern celebrate the 10th anniversary of the UK’s first and only domestic high speed train service. Opened to the public with a special ‘preview’ service on the 29th June 2009, Southeastern Highspeed has carried more than 100 million passengers over the past decade on the HS1 line, connecting the capital to Kent.
Our Chief Executive, Dyan Crowther, shares her experiences of running the UK’s only high-speed railway, in Global Railway Review’s ‘Women Inspiring Rail.’

The 2016 artwork was by designer and Royal Academician Ron Arad. His installation, Thought of Train of Thought, was an 18-metre-long twisted blade that rotated slowly to create an optical illusion of horizontal, train-like movement.
The Royal Academy of Arts and HS1 Ltd. has revealed a major site-specific installation, I Want My Time With You, 2018, by Royal Academician Tracey Emin for Terrace Wires, the station’s public commissioning programme for new artwork by leading international artists.
2017’s art project was The Interpretation of Movement (a 9:8 in blue), by Royal Academician Conrad Shawcross.
Cornelia Parker’s work, One More Time, in 2015, was a working replica of the station’s DENT London clock. Reversed out in black and silver, it became reminiscent of a photographic negative. The black clock was suspended 16 metres in front of the original, so for those alighting from the trains the original face will gradually appear eclipsed.
In April 2014, we launched the second sculpture of the Terrace Wires series at St Pancras International, Chromolocomotion by David Batchelor. The colourful artwork was unlike anything ever seen at St Pancras International bathing the Grand Terrace in a Kaleidoscope of colour.
It’s official – Tracey Emin’s Terrace Wires ‘I Want My Time With You’ light installation has a little more time with us…
St. Pancras played host to a performance like no other, as award-winning UK Drag Queens Ophelia Love and Kitty Scott Claus graced the station’s concourse.
10 local school children from Argyle Primary and Richard Cobden Primary delighted St Pancras International’s passers-by with live poetry readings performed as part of a brand-new poetry initiative named Track Record.
