Eurostar - Qualified Train Driver - St Pancras (11/09/24)

[State]

Out of interest can anyone send me the current driver roster?

For those drivers that commute from outside of London which I hear is a fair few, what happens if your train in is cancelled/ massively delayed? Do Eurostar get you a cab in or is it down to you to arrange alternative means?

They would get you a cab (there’s a taxi arrangement in addition to the hotel if you require it), but obviously if it happened en route there wouldn’t be much anyone could do about it - much the same as any other TOC.

I missed out on this recruitment drive, anyone who works for Eurostar, do you think there might be another recruitment drive in the future? I ask because I've seen in the last few years Eurostar have recruited quite a bit and also saw a post on LinkedIn from one of their drivers that they pretty much have near reached depot compliment. Just wondering if it will be a couple of years or a good few years if they decide to recruit again

Another campaign is likely in the latter part of this year based on a well informed source. They’re expanding and also have an ageing population of traincrew. They carried record numbers of passengers last year due to the Paris olympics, so it’s a positive picture for the future.

Worth getting the application in asap as the last one was pulled early, I seem to recall.

I don't drive for Eurostar but I share mess facilities and know a good few drivers. Might be recruiting later this year.
