I’d just put £70k-£90k expectation in line with advertised salary. Can’t go wrong then!
Best of luck with the application!

Is it possible to pick your brain for interview preparation tips if successful in applying/proceeding to video interview stage?
Been needing a reason to learn a touch more French for a while now… feel like this would be a pretty good motivator!
Bon voyage mon ami
It's not possible. It is a different system over there. Drivers on the french side are basically seconded/contracted TGV drivers from SNCF.
The only drivers 'fully employed' by Eurostar are the London based ones.

They certainly were in the Railway Pension Scheme
Unless they have closed it recently, I assume they still are?

Is the retirement age still 60? When I left it was At my current TOC it's 62, and they allowed me to transfer it over + added additional years on when combining.

On the same subject do they let you continue beyond 60 if you wish or are you obliged to retire?

Pretty sure the normal retirement age is still 60 but you can definitely stay longer…

out of curiosity, does anyone know how many they are looking for?
Normally around 6 per course.

Surely retirement is linked to your pension? I’m RPS62
The original advert said week commencing 15th October for the next stage.
I’d keen an eye on emails in the build up to that though, I’d imagine they’d be in touch to arrange/schedule a firm date!
Appreciate it

Once driving for Eurostar , is there any possibilities of working at a French depot? As I wouldn’t mind moving over to France in a few years time ?
Might want to have a look at post 67
Think some people have

I haven’t
That’s a good question?

I know of some that have heard, they’ve been unsuccessful this time around. I’ve not heard yet .
