Eurostar arrival marks launch of High Speed Rail college

The 25-tonne power car used to carry more than 160m passengers between the UK and Europe, was donated to the college by Alstom and Eurostar after it had been retired from service.
The college, which opens next month, said the train would have a new lease of life in Doncaster by playing a critical role in educating Britain’s next generation of engineers.
