GNER 'Eurostar' 373305 'Yorkshire Forward' at Grantham

[stellarartwars07]

These coaches are rather like the Irish Enterprise stock I think, the difference being that the Eurostar has articulated bogies. I travelled to Brussels on the Eurostar, it might have changed now but I though the interior was more spartan than the Mk3s/Mk4s

.......And of course the birth of the Inter City 125 VALENTA Not the bag of crap engines they have these days grumble grumble not like it was in my day etc!! :-))))

I have been onboard the eurostar GNER from peterborough to Doncaster and it had a landline type phone box onboard! So of cause I just had to use it to ring someone up!

[banjokitten]

It's a pity the Eurostar 373 trains were restricted to 110mph due to the issues with the pantograph potentially taking the over head cables down at the normal UK Mainline speed of 125mph.

Christ they make a noise.

[MrJezza31]

pah give me a valenta hst or a 91 over that peice of junk any day

[thorley1969]

Great footage mate! I remember the good old GNER days!

[paul70uk]

@EWS60008 When I lived in grantham (1970-1983) it was Deltics/47s on the Main Line and a wonderfull collection of locos on frieght any thing from class 20s thhrough to class 56s. Metro cammel dmus on the Nottingham and Skegness branchs and a very long class 47 hauled train callled The European that ran from Harwich to Derby (I think) and return. FANTASTIC!!!!!

[z00h]

much better looking than the Eurostar livery, shame I didn't see them in the flesh.

[Cazkumali]

when did the eurostars start to terminate at Leeds?

[ANDREWWALLFORD123]

Drop it do that! Why Change Eurostar under take to GNER. No! Put them back same of Eurostar line. NOT GNER. Some people look very strange who knows!

[89001avocet]

They were AWESOME - did Yrk-Kgx-Yrk on them when first introduced...brilliant pieces of kit - 5***** + fave!!

[JoeRoss1993]

WOW! What a scream from the train!

[55022RSG]

@JoeRoss1993 thats just the traction motor blowers, you should here them on the Class 87 and Class 86 locos!

[lilmissglentoran]

Loved them trains, I used to enjpy travelling on them to and from London.

Here I am sounding a like a geek

[334fraser]

why didn't GNER keep them then hand it over to NXEC

[FirstClassFootage]

As far as I know, once the Class 91 / Mk.IV refurbishment was completed, GNER no longer needed to hire extra stock, and the 373s were returned to Eurostar.

[xjabi]

i believe that they're now TGVs

[Cazkumali]

@FirstClassFootage When did the eurostars start running on the ECML?

[daleksvscybermen]

@FirstClassFootage but the class 373s were VASTLY superior to the class 91s.

[FirstClassFootage]

Simply because many people (especially those who are not rail enthusiasts) know them as Eurostars, in the same way some people would not be certain what a pair of Class 43s and rake of Mk.3 coaches might be.

[mecrazy5]

why do people call them eurostars? eurostar is the name of the company the trains are class 373's

[viewson800]

Because they don't no what a 373 is!

[mecrazy5]

lol! true!
