Does anyone know if there are any power cars still at EMR Kingsbury or have they now been cut up? I haven't been past since last May when 373201/202 had just arrived and a couple of other power cars were just about visible too.
have all been completely cut up now I believe.

I read recently that the NoL sets in France were scrapped.
3301/3302, 3309/3310, 3311/3312, 3313/3314 + 2 other sets are all stored at Amberieu.
If you look at the Google Maps satellite picture of Amberieu, dated 2019, you can see a few rakes of decapitated TGV coaches (the distinctive HV roof cable along the top is visible). There are also a few more in sidings next to what looks like a scrapyard at Culoz, but I cannot see any sign of the NoL Eurostar sets.

Quite incredible really that the former Regional Eurostar sets are still stabled in those sidings. I wonder when they will meet their fate?
Are SNCF still leasing them?
Believe their lease ended in 2014.Are SNCF still leasing them?
Ah I see, thank you for this information.did see on another forum a while back someone mentioned that they were supposedly going to be bought back to the UK for scrapping, not sure how accurate that was or if that was even the plan.
I believe so yes.
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
Half-sets 3303/3307 were paired for some considerable time when SNCF hired them, right up to the end of the hire. 3304 was then the reserve half-set held at Le Landy. As far as I know only full sets went elsewhere for storage, leaving 3304 at Le Landy.————————————————
Bit of a long shot... But does anyone know how to be sure that this power car is indeed 3304... Seeing as the panal that has the number on is missing on one side, and the other side is obscured by graffiti... Thanks in advance
OK I see... Thank you very much for that info... I'm just feel a bit sceptical because there's this photo on google from 2008:-Half-sets 3303/3307 were paired for some considerable time when SNCF hired them, right up to the end of the hire. 3304 was then the reserve half-set held at Le Landy.

Good afternoon, would anyone happen to know which train / unit set would be operating the 12.58 Hrs STP to Brussels on a Thuirsday and return Brussels/STP 18.56 hrs? Old / New / refurbished? Thank you.
