Regional Eurostar 3313/14 is named "Entente Cordiale", and, as well as holding the current UK rail-speed record, has seen use as a VIP charter train, transporting the Queen on a state visit to France and to the Entente Cordiale anniversary in 2004.

The rights of Eurostar Diamond Traders NV in respect of the use and registration of the EUROSTAR name are limited by a contract made with the complainant on 14 September 2004.
