Boxley tunnel eurostars

[HST_enjoyer]

Hello all, I have taken a journey from the midlands down to boxley tunnel to see specifically the Eurostar 373s at speed, but have been standing here for two hours and not seen a single one, would anybody know if these are still running?

eurostar can be very ad-hoc with swapping 373's for 374's if a train is full enough

This is good to know, I’m gonna be here till 15:00, do you think there’s a chance I’ll see one?

https://www.vagonweb.cz/razeni/raze...vuz=EIL+373+M1&cislo_vozu=&relace=&najit=Find is a good resource as too what too expect but would have too also check eurostarts website and see if any have been listed as changed trains

Ah that’s really helpful thank you! I do notice all the trains say altered wtt timetable on RTT, does this mean they may genuinely all be 374s?

If you look on the DB journey planner for London to-from Paris/Brussels journeys, click more info then if it says there's WiFi on the train it's a 374, if no mention of WiFi then a 373. I've never had that fail on me (yet!)

It also includes the train number which is the headcode for easy searching on RTT*

* Other timetable websites are available

Next one from London is scheduled to be 9036 departing at 1531. To London 9031 is meant to be a 373, left Paris 40mins late, due to arrive at St Pancras 14:30 if it was on time, so possible around 15:10 with the delay so you might see that one…
