Eurostar boasts record sales for 2006
PARIS (Reuters) - Eurostar, the passenger train service linking London to Paris and other European cities through Eurotunnel's Channel Tunnel, reported on Thursday record sales figures and traveller numbers for 2006 as it won over customers from rival airline services.
Eurostar said its sales last year topped half a billion pounds for the first time, rising 11.7 percent on the previous year to 518.3 million pounds and passenger numbers up 5.4 percent at 7.85 million travellers.
Eurostar said it benefited from increased security at airports and foggy weather in Britain during December which caused major disruption to flights and meant that thousands of passengers switched from the airlines to Eurostar.

Eurostar Says Full-Year Sales Rose
Eurostar Group Ltd., the operator of the train service connecting Britain with continental Europe, said Thursday that full-year sales rose 11 percent as more people switched away from aircraft travel.
Revenue in the year through Dec. 31 rose to 518 million pounds (US$1 billion; euro773.3 million) compared with 463.8 million pounds in 2005, Eurostar said in a statement.
The train operator carried a total 7.85 million travelers in 2006, a 5 percent increase on the previous year. Leisure traveler numbers rose by 4.5 percent, it said, while the largest increase was in business travelers, rising over 17 percent.

Eurostar back on track
Eurostar confirmed a full recovery from the aftermath of the July 7 bombings today as it announced record sales.
The cross-channel train service suffered a dip in customer growth following the attacks two years ago, as tourists stayed away from London and continental Europe.
Eurostar said it had overcome the slump to post revenues of 518.3m last year, an increase of 11.7% on 2005. Passenger numbers on the London-Paris-Brussels service rose 5.4% to 7.85 million, double the rate of growth in the previous year.

Early AAA Stent Grafts Graded C-minus
When they looked at outcomes over the long haul, the EUROSTAR investigators found that up to eight years after surgery, 19.9% of patients had died from all causes, and that 3% had died from aneurysm-related causes. In addition, 7.1% required conversion to open repair, and 2.4% had rupture of the aneurysm.
The annual incidence rate for all-cause death was 7.1 per 100 patient-years (95% confidence interval, 5.7-8.5), for aneurysm-related death was 1.9 per 100 (95% CI, 1.4-2.6), for conversion to open repair was 1.6 per 100 (95% CI, 0.9-2.3), and for rupture was 0.8 per 100 (95% CI, 0.3-1.2).
The complications with the highest incidence rate per 100 patient-years were endoleak (13.0 cases), stenosis/thrombosis (4.6 cases), migration (4.3 cases), and suture breakage (4.

Travellers suffer from storm's aftermath
But there was better news for Eurostar passengers, with the Channel Tunnel high-speed train company able to run a full service today, except for one early Paris to London train which was cancelled.
Severe weather in northern France had led to a suspension of Eurostar's London to Paris and Brussels services in the second half of yesterday.
A Eurostar spokesman said: "We're running alright today and the trains are very full, as a number of passengers were unable to travel with us yesterday."
A severely-reduced service was operating on GNER's East Coast main line between London and Edinburgh while an emergency timetable was in operation on the Virgin West Coast main line.
