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.

Airport woes boost Eurostar sales

Tightened airline security and foggy weather at UK airports in December, which caused widespread disruption to flights, helped lift Eurostar.

The firm forecast that demand for its services would remain strong in 2007.

"We expect 2007 to be another good year," said chief executive Richard Brown, adding that the Tour de France in July and the France-hosted Rugby World Cup in the autumn were already generating strong demand.

When launched, Eurostar was owned by French state-run railway operator SNCF, Belgium's SNCB and British Rail.

The UK interests are currently held by Eurostar UK.
