Hi, I saw on a video uploaded on September the 5th from Richard Chalkin, that the 373224 is paired with 373213, did something happen with powercar 373223?

As has been discussed already, there's nothing really special about the carriages. If anything they would just need a standard and first class example, definitely not a whole set.They should put a vintage set in the rail museum in York at the moment they only have the engine.
You couldn't even fit a half-set in the Great Hall at the NRM, let alone a full one without extensively rebuilding the place.As has been discussed already, there's nothing really special about the carriages.

Just the museum has other rail carriages so would be interesting to see. I’ve never actually been on an original set yet.As has been discussed already, there's nothing really special about the carriages.

I don't know about first, but standard class is claustrophobic and oppressive (though the seats are fairly comfortable). Nothing to write home about.Just the museum has other rail carriages so would be interesting to see. I’ve never actually been on an original set yet.

Has it been fixed with the refurbished trains? I know the new trains are very large inside.
Neither, as the benefit of the works are people and businesses in Kent, the main funding comes from UK government funding (Local Growth Fund) and Kent County Council (see here: https://www.kent.gov.uk/roads-and-t...ford-international-rail-connectivity-project# ) NR didn't really want to do the works as the benefits are for HS1's operational proficiency, not necessarily theirs and Eurostar certainly didn't as they called Kent's bluff by purchasing incompatible trains for Ashford. Having said that, I believe NR and E* are now having to pick up the tab given its current unsuccessful delivery - with E* doing e320 tests and software updates.The new ones don't have to fit in the W6 loading gauge, so they're built to the European gauge.
This did make it necessary to adjust the platforms at Ashford International. The new ones also don't have conventional British safety systems (AWS/TPWS) so Ashford International was adjusted to have the KVB system installed as well. I wonder who picks up the tab for all those adjustments, NR or Eurostar?
Interesting so what route will they run? Will they keep the original Eurostar grey seats?A Eurostar set is being transferred to a Thalys’ low cost arm: Izy.
Awesome, can't wait to see these in service, do we know which set it is? I've heard its 3213/3224. Also did it transfer as a empty coaching stock or as a normal Eurostar service, I kind of wanted to see it's transfer move down HS1.

is indeed 3213/3224, been reported that it left on 9026 13:01 to Paris
not to sure about the interior but the sets should be used on Paris-Brussels Route
Oops no picture? Doh you ment the Izy one,I went past Le Landy yesterday on the 1813 to London and this train was visible inside one of the sheds.
