Turbine at St Pancras

Hi All
I was recently at St Pancras International to catch the EuroStar to Paris.
I heard a turbine spinning down, (from a distance), when some trains pulled in.
Can anyone shed any light on this as I now understand that all trains are electric?
I'd just assumed that the big red Thalys engines were the culprits as I could not see obvious overhead collectors as on the Eurostar engines.
Cheers, and TIA for any help, A.
edit: clarity.
