Eurostar barrier wagons


Recommended Posts

They were originally GUV vans, and were converted to act as adaptor wagons between locomotives fitted with screw-couplings and the Scharfenberg-equipped Eurostar stock. A pair was stationed at Dolland's Moor, and others at North Pole. When CTRL opened (sorry, I can't get used to calling it HS1), Eurotunnel took over responsibility for moving Eurostar's stock between the French portal and St Pancras, using the fleet of Krupp Bo-Bos normally used for engineering work. This fleet was enlarged using some ex-NS locos of similar lineage. As the Eurotunnel locos were already fitted with the Scharfenberg couplings, the adaptor wagons were disposed of.
