Eurostar Class 373 Refurbishments

[james2trains]

With an upcoming trip on the Eurostar, it got me thinking, how many of the 373s have been refurbished and how many are being scrapped?

I've been following the thread for the scrapping of the trains and I understand that they're keeping about 8, but I thought I would create a new thread specifically about refurbishment!

Any insight is greatly appreciated - it seems there isn't much about the numbers on the internet!

Eight of the Class 373 sets were refurbished (as you mentioned):
373007/373008
373015/373016
373205/373206
373209/373210
373211/373212
373219/373220
373221/373222
373229/373230
& 373999 the Spare power car was also refurbished.

Currently 15 sets have been scrapped:
373001/373002
373003/373004
373005/373006
373009/373010
373011/373012
373013/373014
373017/373018
373019/373020
373103/373104
373107/373108
373201/373202
373203/373204
373225/373226
373227/373228
373231/373232

As for the sets in service at the moment 4 are in service although this may possibly change within the upcoming months or years
373213/373224 is with IZY and on hire to Thalys.

As for the others they're as far as I am aware still in service in the original livery, however as I said before this could possibly change but it's unknown when or if they will be scrapped as of yet.

It’s not as simple as you make out: sets 373211/212 have the coaches from 373203/204; only the power cars (3732110/2120) are from sets 373211/212.
