HS 1 has the capability to take continental rolling stock such as the German I.C.E. one of which has visited St. Pancras. I understand that services to German destinations may start in 2012 using these sets.

Apart from the proposed use of ICE trains via HS1/HS2 which has now been postponed until 2015.
