Eurostar is to send the first of its 186mph Class 373 trains for scrap after just 22 years in service. The 18-car trains will be scrapped by European Metal Recycling (EMR) at Kingsbury. The first train was due to move to EMR’s Midlands site as RAIL went to press.

Can these trains not be utilised somewhere else instead of scrapping them? Seems an awful waste.... Were some of these not in use at some stage in the ECML?
