Description
Join me on 12th March 2026 as I work Eurostars 9110 and 9133 between London St Pancras International, Lille Europe, and Brussels Midi (Brussel Zuid).
I show you behind the scenes, everything from my commute, staying in London the night before my shift, putting on the new uniform, booking on, train preparation, crew briefing, departure from London St Pancras International, Channel Tunnel Safety Protocols, Lille Europe station, Bruxelles Midi, our crew facility, both a class 373 Eurostar E300 train and a class 374 Eurostar E320 train, the return journey and LOTS of tea drinking ;)
IMPORTANT INFO. BEFORE YOU COMMENT, PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING:
This video is NOT sponsored, commissioned, or endorsed in any way by any business or organisation, not even Eurostar.
This is a personal account of a day in my life. If you have any questions about the company I work for, any comments etc about the service, then please head to the website at eurostar.com and use the 'contact us' facility.
Please note that while I care passionately about the people I'm looking after on my train, I'm 'just' an operative and I AM NOT A COMMERCIAL DIRECTOR.
No, I don't know if we'll ever stop at Ashford or Ebbsfleet again. And I'm sorry if you've ever had a bad experience... but leaving a comment to someone's personal vlog isn't really going to fix or achieve anything.
Please be assured that at NO POINT WHATSOEVER was safety compromised during the making of this video. My manager accompanied me during safety procedures and even helped with the filming.
Some scenes are deliberately out of focus to protect crew's personal privacy.
