The image File:Eurostar Departures Building - Amsterdam Centraal.jpg was removed by myself and @ Murgatroyd49 because it was poorly lit, badly framed and of generally low quality. The logged-out IP that initially added it, and the user that reinstated it several times have both been blocked for a week for edit warring. Although they can't argue their case here it would be useful in the meantime to get the opinion of other users on the merits of the image, and see whether a better Eurostar Amsterdam image can be found. 10mmsocket ( talk) 21:56, 8 May 2023 (UTC)

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)
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)
I believe this information to be outdated, as ex-Thalys services are now branded Eurostar, too. Regards, ULF 2001:4C80:40:493:9AEE:CBFF:FEE7:FBAD ( talk) 11:42, 16 November 2023 (UTC)

Hi, agreed that problems existed because of not being a member of Schengen, but the statement is in the present tense and all the problems have been greatly exacerbated by our withdrawal from the EU. Murgatroyd49 ( talk) 17:42, 26 February 2024 (UTC)
