Class 373 TGV trains

The Class 373 is a train used by SNCF Eurostar trains to France.

Liveries
Most of the different liveries depend on the generation. The IZY trains have the normal IZY livery, the older Eurostar trains have the usual beige livery and the refurbished trains have the E300 livery.

Formation & History
These trains have about sixteen cars per each unit. There are the power cars at the ends and with them come the filtering grills at each side. The door is situated closer to the ends than the grills. These trains were built and ordered in 1994 for the new Eurostar fleet. The name was a portmanteau of Europe and Superstar. They first had the "North of London" beige livery with the letters "e u r o s t a r" painted at the ends. These trains are now more than 22 years old and now, most are replaced by the Siemens Velaro trains that are capable of higher distances to Brussels and Amterdam like the TGV Thalys trains. This train can only go to Paris Gare du Nord. These trains first operated their services from London Waterloo, then called Waterloo International. In 2007 there was a new bus shuttle from there to St Pancras where they were moved and are now. The shuttle is gone but the abandoned platforms still remain in Waterloo Station.
