A newly refurbished 25-tonne Eurostar power car has been delivered to the National College for High Speed Rail in Doncaster.

The train, was used to transport people from London to Paris and Brussels at speeds of more than 180mph and has been generously donated to the college by Alstom and Eurostar after being retired from service.

The train will now be utilised in Doncaster by playing a critical role in educating Britain’s next generation of engineers.

The newly refurbished power car, wrapped by Eurostar’s livery suppliers Stewart Signs, will be used as part of the college’s wider education programme as learners focus on a range of engineering specialisms from rolling stock, to track systems and power.
