Eurostar
Text from John Lewis
On this page is information concerning Eurostar that is separate from the Class 373 Emus. Eurostar has a number of barrier wagons kept on standby at various places round the system in case a Eurostar train has to be loco hauled. These barrier wagons were converted from BR type GUV underframes and are fitted with B4 bogies and have a Scharfenberg coupler at one end. |
| The photograph below shows 6387 (now numbered 96387) at Clapham Junction on
23 May 1996 without the cover on its Scharfenberg coupler. In use the coupler
is lowered to a horizontal position.

fleet of class 37/6 locos on standby at Clapham Junction with a barrier
vehicle. Normally these work in pairs with the locos coupled together as shown.
