context_page_description: The British Rail Class 374, also branded as the Eurostar e320, is a type of electric multiple unit passenger train used on Eurostar services through the Channel Tunnel to serve destinations beyond the core routes to Paris and Brussels. They began to run passenger services in November 2015. The trains, owned by Eurostar International Limited, are sixteen-coach versions of the Siemens Velaro. Each train is 400 m long. The trains are designed to be compliant with the Technical Specifications for Interoperability and the original order for ten sets was subsequently increased to seventeen sets in November 2014.
  Eurostar International's existing fleet of Class 373 "Eurostar e300" trains, introduced in 1994 when the Channel Tunnel opened, cannot be used on the 15 kV AC overhead line electrification system used in Germany, most cannot be used on the 1.5 kV DC overhead line electrification system used in the Netherlands and they do not have sufficient space to install ERTMS signalling.
