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 enjoys a green boost
Eurostar today reported that it carried 7.85m passengers in 2006, 410,000 more than in the previous year, a leap of 5.4%.
That sent revenues through the pound;500m level for the first time with sales up 11.7% at pound;518m, hastening the day the train operator can say that it makes a profit.
It has been deep in the red since its first trip under the Channel 13 years ago.
Much of the growth is coming in business class where passenger numbers jumped by 17%.
"'We have seen the big environmental impact, especially over the last six months, icirc; said Eurostar director Simon Montague.
"'Big corporates like HSBC and PwC have taken decisions about being carbon neutral and that is changing their travel programmes.

What a ferry good idea
YOU might think there are only two ways of getting to Paris: catch a cheap flight or hop on a Eurostar.
And then you stay in a city centre hotel. But there is, as a certain Prime Minister once argued, a third way, and I reckon it beats the other two options hands-down.
Drive for an hour from York to Hull, and you can embark on a P O ferry and spend a night cruising across the North Sea before embarking at Zeebrugge for breakfast. Then a three-hour drives takes you to a campsite in the countryside outside the French capital, equipped with superb swimming and other recreational facilities.
From here, you can take day trips into the capital and also to Disneyland Paris, before driving north again to spend a couple of days on another site near Amsterdam.

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.
