no date for the sets to transfer has been anoucned yet, not yet confirmed if they will be used on the low cost "izy" service or the regular Thalys ether.

**credit to a Eurostar staff member for passing this info on to me.** 3217/3218 is still due to go on hire to Thalys along with a 2nd set which is due to be ethier 3213/4, 3215/6 or 3223/4.

believe 3999 is paired with 3015 at the moment?.

(reported on another forum) update on the situation with 374s/E320s and Ashford International. E320s currently not permitted to call at Ashford until September, possibly longer. apparently last weekend also saw another E320 on a test run into the station?.

most likely to be Eurostar livery with Thalys logos/branding, would be surprised if Thalys rebranded the set into their full livery as its only on hire (not sure how long for?)

exactly that, 311 was subject to a serious vandalism attack not long ago and the grey stripe/lines got removed when the graffiti was removed.

37423 due to haul 90007 back to Norwich later on today. http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/O22514/2018/07/21/advanced

last nights 1P48 17:02 London to Norwich and 1P65 19:30 return was formed of x3 Renatus 321s (321315 + 321312 + 321317).

latest issue of Today's Railways EU has mentioned that 3217/218 is being prepeared to go on hire to Thalys? anyone able to share any other info on this?

I guess 321448 still has the "demonstrator" branding/livery?

90015 has moved to Crewe, believe this is for repairs???

3215/3216 is indeeed the 9th 373 to be retained and will eventually be refurbished mate, 3209/3210 is still away and undergoing refurbishment (to my knowledge), more sets may also be retained + refurbished, at the moment it isn’t clear if any more will move to Kingsbury for scrapping or if any...

Chiltern Turbo 3223/3224 was due to be on the next move to Kingsbury after 3201/3202 but was cancelled, 3201/3202 could well have been the last move to Kingsbury, if there any more going for scrap the next one won't be untill December at the earliest.

sorry mate, meant 3215/3216 **phots courtesy of a Eurostar staff member**
