Thurrock viaduct

In view of this report,

The following evening, on 19 December 2009 an extra Eurostar service from Paris broke down. The train successfully negotiated the Channel Tunnel itself, then broke down outside. A second train was sent to tow the first to London, but failed at 18:25 whilst trying to haul it up a steep incline crossing Thurrock Viaduct on the outskirts of London.[1]

would there be value in adding a section about the Thurrock viaduct, or is it just a detail in the scehme of things? Is it particularly steep by railway standards? Or was the loco just slipping on frozen rails?

Caption issue (not showing)

The following captions are not showing correctly in the article. In the visual editor they are correct but in the article it only shows the dimensions of the images. Some of the coding must be wrong but I'm not experienced enough to fix it:

A Eurostar service on the CTRL, near Ashford

A high-speed tunnel and flyover take non-stopping trains past Ashford International at 270 km/h (170 mph) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Freeinforevolution (talk • contribs) 17:21, 27 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

kilometers!

In the UK we use miles and miles per hour. So why does the entry use kilometers with miles in brackets? Also, the numbers are incorrect, as they are different on the HS1 official web site.
