    Real Time Trains Eurostar Question

    Both e300 and e320 have the same (new style) seating. The e300 is a refurbished TMST whilst the e320 is a new unit. Whilst e320s don't currently run to Brussels, the e300 does so beware! The eurostar call centre may be able to tell you whether the train you intend to take is an old style...
