Thanks for this brilliant vid. The 373's are so much more charismatic than their Siemens successors. It's disgraceful that they're being scrapped, a huge waste of brilliant material. Refurbished, they could have gone on to service on HS2.
It is a shame, though they have had constant high speed usage in 20 years, were built to deal with specific emergencies in the channel tunnel, and have had to had specific pantographs, not to mention the coupling between coaches which makes maintenance hard. Shame, they made the best noise a British train has ever made
Excellent video Howard :-). I like it :-). The Eurostar class 373's are nice trians aren't they? :-). I like them but I don't see them very oftern which is a bit of a shame but never mind. Well have a nice evening anyway Howard and enjoy your trainspotting Howard :-). Have a nice evening :-). From Foxy :-).
Can the Class 374s go into Ashford International, or because they have a larger loading gauge than the UK railway network (except HS1) they can't go into Ashford yet?
