Eurostar Query.

[youngiecj]

Hi all,

Just been updating my haulage log from my Eurostar trip 16/03/13.

I have written down that i had 3215/3216 from St Pancras-Brussels and return. Ive looked in my AEB rail book and it says they are a French based set. Is it possible that i have made a mistake and actually ridden on 3015/3016 ?

It was on the 10:56 Stp-Brussels and 16:56 return if anyone is able to confirm for me please?

Just one more question does anyone know what the mileage/km St Pancras-Brussels Midi is please?



Regards

Chris

I'm pretty sure that sets get mixed around. The only routes that need SNCF sets are Avignon and the Ski runs as some SNCF sets can also run on French Domestic 1500V DC

The 32xx range were owned by SNCF at Eurostar's inception and I believe are allocated to Le Landy, 3215/6 are still with E* and not on French Domestic service...

Thanks for that much appreciated. I didn't think i was going mad!

I've had 32xx sets on the Bruxelles run several times, and 31xx sets on Paris runs several times. The 3C fleet generally operates as one apart from the above mentioned examples that can only use certain sets.

Indeed, I though it was a good bit of mileage on the trip. I'd have added another 231m60c to my 373 mileage last week but booked the wrong date
