Eurostar posts record sales

Eurostar, the cross-Channel rail service, today reported record sales figures and traveller numbers for 2006 as it won customers from a troubled airline industry.

Air travel troubles benefit Eurostar

Eurostar enjoyed its best year yet in 2006 as the increasing stress of air travel and the damage it does to the environment persuaded more business travellers to switch to the high-speed rail service to Paris and Brussels.

A record 7.85 million passengers travelled on Eurostar - 5 per cent up on the previous year - while sales rose nearly 12 per cent to top pound;500m for the first time.

A spokesman said that an estimated 1,000 business passengers a week were switching from plane to train because of increased airport security and the general hassle of air travel.

He also said the environmentally friendly nature of rail was of growing importance to big corporate customers such as banks and multinationals who were looking to cut their carbon emissions.

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.

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.

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.
