Nice photts mate, I like the one of the Jav on a slowish shutter :o)
I like the last one best. I found this on a search for the Javelin trains, because I actually commute from Ebbsfleet to St Pancras International and I thought I’d read up a bit more on it since it’s made my life so much easier and saved so much more time.
