Upon privatisation of British Rail by the UK Government, the BR sets were bought by London and Continental Railways (LCR), whose subsidiary Eurostar (UK) Ltd was managed by a consortium of National Express (40%), SNCF (35%), SNCB/NMBS (15%) and British Airways (10%) from 1998 to 2010.
До приватизации British Rail составы были куплены London & Continental Railways, которая организовала дочернюю компанию Eurostar (U.K.) Ltd., которая сейчас управляется консорциумом компаний National Express Group (40 % акций), SNCF (35 %), SNCB (15 %) и British Airways (10 %).
