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.

Eurostar, Taxes and Michael O'Leary

Bad news for airlines in Europe -- Eurostar saw record sales and traveler numbers in 2006 as it attracted thousands more travelers from the airlines. Sales topped half a billion pounds for the first time, rising 11.7% from £463.8 million to £518.3 million. In total 7.85 million travelers chose Eurostar in 2006, up 5.4 % on 2005. Leisure traveler numbers rose by 4.5%, while the largest increase was in business traveler numbers, rising over 17% and generating an 18% increase in business sales revenue. Eurostar continues to see strong year-on-year growth. It is now carrying 28% more travelers than in the 12 months before the opening in September 2003 of the first section of the Channel Tunnel Rail Link, now named High Speed 1.

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.

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.

Article continuesRichard Brown, Eurostar chief executive, said an improvement in punctuality - which resulted in nine out of ten trains arrving on time - had helped win back customers.

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.

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.

Huge rise in business use of Eurostar

The number of business travellers using Eurostar grew by 17 per cent in 2006, according to the cross-Channel rail operator. Some 630,000 business travellers used the high-speed rail service during the year, up from 538,000 the year before.

The company said: #147;Many of these travellers were using Eurostar for the first time and it is estimated that 1,000 business customers a week have now permanently transferred from flying to high-speed rail. #148;

Richard Brown, Eurostar #146;s chief executive, added: #147;I am delighted at the strong growth in the number of business travellers, who are discovering the punctuality and productivity advantages that Eurostar offers compared with the experience of flying.

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.
