What Do You Do With An Unwanted Eurostar Train?
In Edition 865 of Rail Magazine, there is a short article which is entitled Eurostar ‘373s’ Leased To Thalys.
This is the first paragraph.
Class 373s that were due to be scrapped have instead been leased to Thalys for a year.
Class 373 trains and Thalys rolling stock are very similar, as both were built by GEC-Alsthom around the same time.
So just as ScotRail borrowed a few Class 365 trains to make up for a shortage, Thalys are borrowing a pair of Class 373 trains.
I wonder if passengers between Paris, Brussels and Amsterdam, that they are getting a train, that was destined for the scrapyard?
