The fate of a Eurostar ED

摘要

I am writing to you to clarify the position regarding Class 73 Electro Diesel 73130. There seems to be much confusion about the loco so here is the correct information regarding it. 73130 was initially donated by Eurostar to the Railschool project at North Woolwich. As it was unable to take it at this point it was stored for some time at Stewarts Lane depot. The situation came to a head when the depot wanted the space and required the removal of the loco. By this point Railschool had been wound up and no longer existed so it fell back to Eurostar to arrange disposal. There was also the matter of storage charges for the time the loco had been at Stewarts Lane.
