You're not meant to reveal the location....
That's what you're be lead to think....no one expects the Spanish Inquisition....sorry, total confusion of humour memes...

Apologies if this has already been posted.
Not to condone possibly illegal "urban exploration" (I have no idea whether the making of this video would have been illegal on the continent, where I believe it was filmed), but the below may be of interest to 373 afficienados.
Great video but see post #888
Indeed - great minds and all that.
I'm relieved in a way wasn't 100% sure I should post it - it is an excellent, if eerie, video.
373011/012 reported elsewhere as the doomed sets.9th Move this Friday...
Not even a full month since the last move, they are definitely getting more frequent now.

I dont get why E* wont sell some sets instead of all but 8 be scrapped, then again i heard that why they won't sell them is due to fears that a rival company may use them

It appears tonight's scrap move is indeed 3011/3012373011/012 reported elsewhere as the doomed sets.
They are KNACKERED and out of date - its all in this thread !.

yet neither SNCF or UK operators seem to be interested.
France is about to be forced to open up its main lines to competition. It's all about SNCF stopping these sets being available to potential open access operators.
their refurbishment and maintenance costs would be completely uneconomical - no sane open access operator or leasing company would spend CAPEX & OPEX this significant on 25-year old rolling stock
their length and capacity would make their use pertinent only on a handful of routes
As far as I know the 374 have entered service on the trains which stop at Ashford, as KVB is now installed and platforms 3 and 4 have been adjusted to international gauge.I understand that 374s are being tested on services that serve Ashford.
We've certainly seen a lot of these units heading to Kingsbury for scrapping. Is it still possible to travel on an un-refurbished 373? They seem quite scarce at St. Pancras now and I understand that 374s are being tested on services that serve Ashford.
