In comes 11,000 volts to two new substations on the site, which is then
dropped down to 400 volts and sent via two routes to the various
charging points around the depot.

2.5 megawatts at 400 volts is 6,250 amps! But I suppose it's only one
and a half Eurostars.

Not even a quarter of a Eurostar. They draw 16 megawatts flat out.

Another good argument against HS2, as a normal train only draws a
quarter of that.
