Video: Heading out to Paris from London St Pancras International onboard a Eurostar Class 373 TGV TMST (TransManche Super Train) e300, once again it happened to be a refurbished set. Because this journey was to Paris, this route covers the entirety of LGV Nord non-stop, meaning the majority of this journey is at high speed.
This was a refurbished e300 set (3229/3999) operating on service 9032 to Paris Nord which stops at Ashford only. It was interesting by random chance to get the spare power car attached instead of 3230, which was seemingly experiencing faults. Once again, I sat in seat 15 in coach 1 adjacent to the power car.
