The Eurostar is a joint venture company of the state railways of France and Belgium and in the UK Her Majesty's Treasury. These trains are French class 373, which is a further development of early French TGV bullet trains. Top speed of these older Eurostars is 300 km/h. Eurostar has also received in 2015-16 17 new class 374 trains which are of the Siemens type Velaro. They will gradually replace these older ones. This picture is already from 2010 and as you can see, already then these old class 373 trains were suffering from corrosion and extensive use. By 2016 a small number of them are already refurbished and others scrapped.
