Awesome, can't wait to see these in service, do we know which set it is? I've heard its 3213/3224. Also did it transfer as a empty coaching stock or as a normal Eurostar service, I kind of wanted to see it's transfer move down HS1.
So does this mean Eurostar are retaining 9 373s instead of 8, as 3209/10 was also supposedly due to get refurbished. Also, part of me hopes 3223/4 gets refurbished as it was my favourite.
Out of curiosity, was this unit ever used by SNCF or did it have a door taken from one of the SNCF Three Capitals or NoL sets, as this stood out to me during the drag??
Nice to see 3205/3206 almost done.
I imagine 3209/3210 will lose its 'The Da Vinci Code' nameplate once refurbished, right? As far as I know it was the only 373 unit that wore full advertising livery.
Here are some pictures of NoL 3304 in the sidings at Paris Technicentre Le Landy, this half set has been there for a couple of years as its visible on Google Maps from 2016
You think they scrapped 3017/18 set & 3102 coaches due to all the Urbex attention it got? I mean I have a video I did on 25 Oct 2017 & 21 March 2018 of the former NoL 3304 half set sitting at Le Landy depot.
Makes me kinda scared to release it now.
Ah no. This is gonna be a sad one. I really hoped the pioneer 3001/3002 would survive, but I haven't seen it in service for at least 2 months so I guess this was why :(
9th Move this Friday... :(
Not even a full month since the last move, they are definitely getting more frequent now.

Anybody remember the classic yellow and grey seat interiors the 373s used to have as well as the NOL sets?
Here's a cool video exploring the half set of 3102, the power car as many know is at Birmingham. But the coaches appear to be stored in Valenciennes next to 3017/3018, and by the looks of...
We have another move tonight... :(
