Eurostar testing next week

lolly5648

We got to St Pancras at 8.45 am for a 9.30 train and our last journey was at 1.30 so by the time we were out of the station it was about 2.15 pm.

We were in lst class for our last journey and there were no magazines or newspapers, I did look.

Got back today...we too booked the 10am and our first train was the 11am...No trains today went to ebbsfleet or tomorrow...Some are next week..
we started around 10:20am going through passport control etc and the day finished at 2.55pm..take a book or ipod as you are waiting..It's not too bad though as it's a constant flow..

How do you get the free Eurostar vouchers/tickets after you have done the test?
Would they be sending them in post?

Thanks

The offer was posted about three weeks ago and if you have now not already filled in the request to take part in the testing then you can now not take part as all of the applications have finished.

We go on the 8th and look forward to it.

Just came back from today's testing. The coffee and crossiants were truely awful and the sandwiches we're absolutely disgusting (chicken with lettuce which looked mucus green and slimey yuk!). So one tip is to bring some of your own food. Can't complain though as the incentives are good!

P.S look out for free kitkats. They we're giving them away outside the underground bit of kings cross station, plus I got a card for 3 free evening standard newspapers. Ahhh all in a day's work!

I took the most earliest one 8:30, for the 9:30 train. But the train was delayed for almost 1 hour,so it took me 2 hours to be on board. (Like their ads on Tube,--I waited in the lobby longer than on the plane)

The lunch pack isn't acceptable after 4 hours test for 2 trains, my last train depart at 13:30 and come back at 13:30 (soo soo soo quick). finished at 13:35

I thought the lunch pack was ok for free...they didn't need to give us lunch really..I am happy with the free tickets when I get them...egg mayo sandwich,banana,crisps,chocolate bar is fine i thought...tea,coffee and water all the time..it was ok....

Thanks for the feedback. I'm going on 8th so it's nice to know what to expect a little bit. I will bring a big book!! Did you have to take a luggage? i guess a small bag is ok ???!!!
PS: i've got 1st class tickets so hope it will be comfortable....
