Eurostar (UK) 3013 set

Eurostar 3013 , owned by Eurostar (UK) Ltd. , stands in the normal area of the
Bruxelles-Midi HST terminal , which is normally an exception.
Because of security reasons , Eurostar trains depart from the "secure" part of the terminal
(Tracks 1 and 2) , because in the secure terminal are passport and security checks
for entering England.In the normal terminal , every person with a valid train ticket
can board his Thalys/ICE/IC train , there are no further passport and security checks.

The reason why it has entered the "other" part of the terminal ? It will shortly be driven
towards the Forest-Midi car-wash , and only the tracks from the "normal" HST Terminal
reach the car-wash of Forest-Midi , the tracks in the Eurostar terminal DON'T !

But it did appear quite dirty , so it was the right moment to drive it in the car-wash.
Notice also the '30' number that has been ripped of.

Bruxelles-Midi TGV, 11/10/2004.
