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.

Only on 25kV, look again at its consumption on DC, and it's the amps I'm
highlighting anyway.

I wonder if the old eurostars have any of their DC equipment still on board?
If they do perhaps they could solve the overcrowding issues on Southern and
south eastern instead of being scrapped!
