Not all train sets of Thalys are already rebranded to Eurostar. Eurostar and Thalys join forces per 01/10/2023 and Thalys continues their activities under the brand Eurostar. The red trains of Alstom, type PBA and PBKA will remain red for the moment and will be deployed on the same routes Thalys did for more than 27 years.
PBKA 4305 just arrived as Eurostar 9322 from Brussels and Amstedam (11h35, but a bit later this day) and will return to Brussels and Amsterdam as Eurostar 9439 and 9339 (departure 12h21). In the background the poster which announces the merger between the two carriers.

Eurostar
Eurostar is an international high-speed rail service in Western Europe, connecting Belgium, France, Germany, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom.

Until October 2023, the Eurostar brand was exclusively used for trains travelling through the Channel Tunnel between the United Kingdom and Continental Europe. However, following the merger of Eurostar and Thalys in April 2022, forming the Eurostar Group, the Eurostar brand replaced Thalys.

The service uses High Speed rail lines to connect major European cities such as Amsterdam, Brussels, Cologne, London and Paris, with seasonal services to Southern France. The operator is exploring future network expansions and aims to double passenger numbers by 2030.

Eurostar is operated by Eurostar International Limited (EIL), which is owned by Eurostar Group, with France's SNCF Voyageurs holding a 55.75% stake.
