Eurostar Depot  By Robert Rogers  There have been railways at
Stratford since the 1830s and the latest arrival is the
Eurostar. These Locomotives will soon be running from St Pancras
through the International Station at Stratford, and then on
through the Channel Tunnel to Europe.  At Temple Mills,
Stratford, E.15, a new Maintenance Depot has been built for
Eurostar . The Eurostar Locomotive is a Class 373, known as a
Trans Manche Supertrain (TMST).  It uses three different power
supplies, two on pantographs, one for the French system of 25kV
AC system (Stone Faiveley) and one for the Belguim 3 kV DC
system (Brecknell Willis), and a 3rd rail Pick-up for the 750 v
DC Southern railway (England) system.  The max speed on the
continent is 300km/h or 186 mph.  In the tunnel and through
England it is 160km/h or 100mph.   Once the new channel rail
link is built, it will be able to travel at 270km/h or 168 mph
through England.  `Le Shuttle` (Fright) will still continue to
run at 160km/h.  The reason it currently runs
