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.

Eurostar Reports Increased Sales And Passenger Numbers In 2006
Eurostar train services through the Channel Tunnel from Britain to France and Belgium Thursday reported a rise in sales and passenger figures in 2006, helped in part by its promotion of the film hit The Da Vinci Code, the company said. Presenting its results in London, the high-speed Anglo-French train company said sales had risen by 11 per cent in 2006 to 518 million pounds (one billion dollars). The company, which operates to Paris and Brussels from London's Waterloo station, carried 7.85 million passengers in 2006 - an increase of more than five per cent on the on the 2005 total.

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.

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.

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.
