Travellers suffer in storm's wake
But there was better news for Eurostar passengers, with the Channel Tunnel high-speed train company able to run a full service, 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 Thursday.
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. GNER spokesman Alan Hyde said: "We have been working hard to ensure that our trains and crews are in the right places to run as normal a service as possible.

Eurostar FY 2006 sales up 11.7 pct with over 5 pct rise in passengers
LONDON (AFX) - Eurostar, the high-speed passenger train service that links Britain with the Continent, said 2006 was a record year as more travellers switched from airlines.
Sales for 2006 were up 11.7 pct year-on-year to 518.3 mln stg with 7.85 mln travellers carried, up over 5 pct.
Of these, the company saw a 17 pct increase in business traveller numbers.
The company said it benefited from increased security at airports since the summer and foggy weather in the UK before Christmas. Many of these travellers were using Eurostar for the first time and Eurostar estimates that 1000 business customers a week have now permanently transferred from flying to high-speed rail.
Punctuality in 2006 was a record 91.5 pct.
