Eurostar covers - Signed Versions!!!

Just to let you know that we will be getting some of our latest Eurostar covers signed!!

The covers carried on the last Eurostar from Paris to London Waterloo feature an illustration of Eurostar, based on a painting by renowned railway artist Terence Cuneo, so we have had some of the covers signed by his daughter, Carole Cuneo (code: R31S £19.95).

The autographs on our other covers are Tony and Cath Buckingham. They have great Eurostar credentials! They carried covers on Eurostar right from the very first train! Cath designed the covers and Tony created them. Both are signing to raise funds for ChildLine this Christmas.

The covers carried from St Pancras to Brussels on the 14th of November show a view of the train, giving you some idea of the length (and they are long, take my word for it!). Cath carried these covers and is signing them (code: R32S £19.95). She was on the first ever Eurostar to Paris and the first ever high speed train to Paris. She also was Head of Design for all the first Eurostar covers at Benham and, of course, the designer of all our 2007 Eurostar covers as well.

The final additions to our trio of trains are the covers that Tony carried from St Pancras to Paris, also on the 14th of November. These also feature another illustration that gives some idea of the length of these trains, but focus mainly on the cab in this case. Tony carried these covers and will be signing some (code: R33S £19.95). Tony was on the first Eurostar to Paris, the first high speed train to Paris and the first shareholders’ shuttle. He also drove the first car on the first public shuttle. If that is not enough, of course, Tony is also the creator of all the first Eurostar covers at Benham and here.

On a lighter note, I’m looking for Rail-related jokes (ones that I case use, please) for future letters. Steam trains, modern traction, I don’t mind. I know that rail enthusiasts have a sense of humour – there are certainly occasions when we need them!

Best wishes,

Sarah
