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.

Record sales rise at Eurostar
Channel Tunnel rail firm Eurostar enjoyed a record rise in ticket sales during the last 12 months, the company today revealed.Sales were up 12 per cent to 518 million in 2006, Eurostar said, with passenger numbers rising five per cent to almost eight million.The firm is thought to have benefited from the severe travel disruption that hit UK airports in the latter half of last year due to heightened security restrictions and weather-enforced delays.And Eurostar chief executive Richard Brown said: "We expect 2007 to be another good year, with events such as the Tour de France in July and the Rugby World Cup in the autumn already generating strong demand in the groups market.

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 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.

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.

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.
