From Wednesday, 2,600 employees across all routes will wear the same uniform - Pierre CaudevelleEurostar has unveiled its first ever gender neutral uniform, introducing a collection featuring skirts, trousers and Dr. Martens boots. The new staff apparel range, unveiled at Eurostar’s Gare Du Nord terminal in Paris on Tuesday, features more than 50 items including graffiti-print neckerchiefs and replaces a uniform introduced more than a decade ago. Sir Richard Branson’s Virgin Group is aiming to compete with Eurostar from 2030 as Britain opens up the Channel Tunnel to a second operator. Eurostar said its old uniforms will be recycled into products such as mattresses and hanging basket liners. The new collection will be the fourth in the firm’s history and replaces one designed by London-based Jermyn Street Design and introduced in 2014.
