I haven’t seen anything new regarding this, the issue is still ongoing though, only thing I can report is that there appears to be a slight shortage of E320 sets at the moment due to sets undergoing software updates to allow them to run to Amsterdam (not all sets fitted with the correct software...

**posted on another forum just a few moments ago** From a Dutch language rail forum via Google translate ... There will soon be a TMST show between Brussels and Paris. Izy has rented one from us. The training of the instructors (both drivers and supervisors) has been completed this week. When...

Indeed that 374s being able to call at Ashford Intl would be a move that would see the last remaining non refurbished 373 sets withdrawn from service, Kingsbury indeed do not accept the next set (as you say) until most if not all of the previous scrap move has been dealt with. Yes it would be...

at a guess it will be a full length set with Thalys set to take on the last 2 unrefurbished sets, would make sense as x2 Thalys sets (as 1 service) are roughly the equivalent of a full length TMST

Im not sure but I dont think it would be related to the current problems with 374s being able to call at Ashford?? could well be to do with something at Kingsbury?? As for the remaining unrefurbished sets, I presume they will end up being stored at Temple Mills or somewhere untill the scrap...

been reported this morning that 3223/3224s move to Kingsbury on June 29th/30th is now cancelled. Next weeks move (3201/3202) will be the last scrap move for a while, won’t be any more 373 sets going to Kingsbury until at least the end of the year now.

been confirmed this morning that the next scrap move will indeed be 373201/202 on the 25th/26th May.

this might be a interest to a few on here, 3305s former nameplate "Yorkshire Forward" is to go under the hammer at a auction on July 14th

not aloud unfortunately, I know someone who spoke to both EMR and Eurostar asking if they could possibly save something, everything has to be completely dismantled/scrapped. Eurostar are also not allowing anything from the original interior of sets that are being refurbished/retained to be kept...

spare powercar 3999 currently paired up with 3015

are the last remaining non refurbished sets (3213/214, 3215/16, 3217/218 and 3223/224) all still in traffic?

I imagine that it will indeed loose its namplates dont think it was the only set to carry a advertising or special livery though? think 3005/006 carried a special livery for "The Beatles"? and another set was also given a speical disney livery when Eurostar launched services to Disneyland...

can only guess that 3101s coaches are stored or have been scrapped somewhere then? only 1 rake of coaches have been taken by road to Kingsbury for scrapping from Temple Mills (as far as I know), don't think any of 3101s coaches have become part of a refurbished set??? think refurbished set...

3007 has also become a bit famous lately after depot staff decided to have some fun

3007/008 is indeed still going around with the original interior so will have to go back at some point to be completed. as far as I know that is correct mate, as for 3101 coaches I believe they have been scrapped?? not sure when or where though? the coaches that were stored at Temple Mills and...

just 1 more I think mate? (3209/3210) 3205/3206 nearly complete, 3209/3210 undergoing refurbishment while 3007/3008, 3015/3016, 3211/3212, 3219/3220, 3221/3222, 3229/3230 and spare powercar 3999 have all been done.

3205/3206 nearly ready to return following refurbishment

could also be down to GBRF loco availability as well? might also be down to when a path for the move can become available as well?

update: 3201/3202 reported to move to Kingsbury on May 25th 3223/3224 reported to move to Kingsbury on 29th June
