En octobre 2010, Eurostar avait choisi le Velaro "UK" e320 de Siemens pour renouveler sa flotte. Dix exemplaires de cette nouvelle série de rames à grande vitesse viendront compléter les rames Alstom existantes.Voici l'automotrice 4001/4002 arrivée d'Allemagne, de passage au dépôt de Forest-Midi (Bruxelles), en vue d'y effectuer les premiers test statiques (le 26 juin 2013, photo Mediarail.be)

I've done a rough translation of the text.

In October 2010, Eurostar had chosen the Velaro UK e320 from Siemens for the renewal (addition to) their fleet. Ten examples of this new class of high speed train will complement the existing Alstom fleet. Here unit 4001/4002 has arrived from Germany, passing Forest-Midi (Brussels) depot, with the view to commence the first static tests (26th June 2013).

I saw a new Eurostar e320 set just outside Leuven station on Thursday. It looked very smart.
