A Eurostar e320 set formed of units 4005 and 4006 departs Ashford International with the 13:24 ski train to Bourg-saint-Maurice.
This is one of the first times these sets have stopped at Ashford - and by the looks and sounds of things, they may not be stopping there for much longer. The pantograph had been sparking abnormally on arrival, but this seemed far more severe on departure, given its' perpetuality, sound and visibility.
The traction had cut out twice for reasons I do not know but assume to be power drawing problems. As the rear half 4006 passes by you can hear an extremely strange sound emitting from the motors, as though something was wrong.
