kilometers!
In the UK we use miles and miles per hour. So why does the entry use kilometers with miles in brackets?
Also, the numbers are incorrect, as they are different on the HS1 official web site. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.21.15.48 (talk) 22:52, 10 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I believe HS1 was built and is operated using kilometres first, whereas the rest of the British railway network still uses miles. NemesisAT (talk) 12:48, 30 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
However they still use the miles when operating. QuarioQuario54321 (talk) 22:31, 29 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The article is written with kilometres as the predominant measurement (as per HS1), with relevant conversions shown where necessary. Turini2 (talk) 22:38, 29 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Ownership
@AlbusWulfricDumbledore I reverted your edit because a) there was no reference b) it implied that the 2017 sale was to the Korean Pension fund, not the Ontario teachers Pension fund. Turini2 (talk) 17:49, 9 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The existing reference in text explained it, added a non-paywall reference. If you paused to read the existing source while reverting - it was Korean pension fund it was sold to in 2017 (consortium of funds) from the previous consortium involving the Ontario fund AlbusWulfricDumbledore (talk) 17:53, 9 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for explaining! Turini2 (talk) 17:54, 9 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Ashford and Ebbsfleet stations have not had Eurostar services since 2020 and there are no fixed dates for their re-opening. St Pancras is currently the only functioning Eurostar station in the UK. 2A00:23C8:8A92:7C01:C881:6B24:AD97:358C (talk) 21:00, 19 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
There's been no formal announcement of closure, I think it's reasonable to note that the stations are temporarily closed for Eurostar services. Turini2 (talk) 10:11, 20 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
