Result: Issues with GA criterion 3. Needs cleanup and updating, as significantly out of date, especially when considering it only began operating in 1994. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 15:39, 11 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'm nominating this article for GAR as I believe it fails the "factually accurate and verfiable", "broad in coverage" and "focused" parts of the GA criteria.

This article passed GA about 14 years ago. Since then, Eurostar's history has changed significantly because of the merger with Thalys and the financial difficulties faced because of COVID-19 and Brexit. There are several maintenance tags on the article, and quite a few other unreferenced bits, and while I've addressed one of the tags by finding a reference, there's a lot more work required to get it back up to GA standard.

I'm also concerned that a family member works for Eurostar and hence I'm worried people might perceive me editing the article with a pro-Eurostar bias; so it's probably better for other people to work on this. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 10:54, 3 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Much of the information in the lead and the body of the article about the Thalys merger talks about it happening in the future, yet the time that information was added is long past. Perhaps it needs a review and update. 10mmsocket (talk) 11:19, 3 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The impact of Brexit on Eurostar is not fully developed in the article. This source (New York Times, so far removed from events) discusses some of the issues in depth. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 11:33, 3 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
