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 boasts record sales for 2006
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.

A Eurostar spokesman said: "We're running alright today and the trains are very full, as a number of passengers were unable to travel with us yesterday."
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.

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.
