GNER

GNER (Great North Eastern Railway) was a Train Operating Company (TOC) from 1996 to 2007 owned by Sea Containers. It ran high speed services on the East Coast Main Line, primarily using HST's and Class 91s.

GNER and Eurostar
Between 2000 and 2005, GNER used NOL (North of London) Class 373 sets on services from London's Kings Cross to York and Leeds on a service called the "White Rose" on the East Coast Main Line. These sets were originally built for the ill-fated Regional Eurostar services, and the NOL Class 373s were never meant for domestic use within the United Kingdom.

The sets were withdrawn when their lease ended in December 2005. Subsequently, they were used by SNCF on domestic services out of Paris for several years until they withdrawn in the 2010s.
