Ahead of the EU’s new Entry/Exit System, launching on 12 Oct, we welcomed British media including BBC News' Katy Austin and Simon Browning, along with PAs media team including Neil Lancefield, to showcase how we've updated our check-in process to ensure smooth journeys.

A woman is using the EES machine, scanning her passport and looking at the welcome screen.

We see the machine used for applying to EES on which you need to scan your passport and answer 4 questions about your journey. The machine is on and we can see the welcome screen with an illustration of a person using the machine.

Eurostar's Chief Safety and Stations Officer Simon Lejeune stands in front of the EES machines while being interviewed. A reporter is holding a microphone and another off-screen person is holding a phone with a special holder to record.
