Furthermore, a twenty-ninth train was added to the order agreement by franchise holder Southeastern to provide additional capacity. By 2008, the initially planned 'CTRL Domestic' services (2003) from London St Pancras to Gravesend, and Canterbury West and Folkestone Central, via Ashford, had been expanded in scope to include services to Medway Towns, East Kent and Dover. Р”В¬onstruction of the CTRL (High Speed 1) was complete in November 2007. The contract was also the first British order for a Japanese train as such, Hitachi viewed the deal as a key opportunity to establish itself in the UK market. The company had previously worked with HSBC Rail and UK rail authorities between 20 to demonstrate the suitability and conformance of Hitachi's traction system with the UK rail network, including test of the use of AC induction motors, and electromagnetic compatibility tests. The contract was Hitachi's first rail vehicle sold to a European customer. In November 2005, the Department for Transport announced Govia as the new operator of the IKF. During June 2005, a contract valued at Р’Р€250 million was signed with Hitachi Europe Ltd to supply 28 trainsets, with HSBC Rail acting as the financier ( ROSCO) at this point, the new fleet had an expected service date of 2009. In October 2004, Hitachi was announced as the preferred bidder to supply high-speed trains for the CTRL services. In 2005, the proposed high-speed services were combined with those from the former South Eastern rail franchise to form the Integrated Kent franchise (IKF). Preliminary consultations for a new franchise including the envisioned 'CTRL Domestic' services along with new rolling stock for operating the said services, which were to begin in 2004. In December 2003, formal approval was given by the Strategic Rail Authority for domestic services to be run on the under-construction Channel Tunnel Rail Link (CTRL) in Kent, England, which has since been rebranded as High Speed 1 (HS1).

Furthermore, the Class 395 has also been irregularly operated for charter services, the first such uses did not happen until after the 2012 Olympics due to a lack of free units. The service was named the Olympic Javelin Shuttle, which formed the origin of the Javelin nickname. The use of the high-speed trains as part of the transport infrastructure for the Olympic Park formed part of the original bid for the 2012 Summer Olympics.

These were gradually expanded until the commencement of the full regular service on 13 December 2009. Following the completion of 4,000 miles (6,400Р’В km) fault-free running six months ahead of schedule, a 'preview' service was launched between London St Pancras and Ashford via Ebbsfleet on 18 June 2009. The fleet was ordered during June 2005 by the ROSCO HSBC Rail, and was delivered to the UK between August 2007 and August 2009. The type, which was entirely manufactured in Japan, is the first Hitachi-built rail vehicle to be sold to a European customer, as well as being the first British order for a Japanese train. It is typically formed as a six-car train, although they can be rapidly coupled to one another to form a 12-car train as required. The Class 395 can operate at a maximum speed of 140Р’В mph (225Р’В km/h) under 25Р’В kV AC overhead electrification on High Speed 1, and 100Р’В mph (160Р’В km/h) on 750Р’В V DC third rail supply on conventional lines. The whole fleet is operated by SE Trains. The British Rail Class 395 Javelin is a dual-voltage electric multiple unit (EMU) built by Hitachi as part of the Hitachi A-train AT300 family for high-speed commuter services on High Speed 1 and elsewhere on the Integrated Kent Franchise.
