UK recovery fuels Eurostar traffic

EUROSTAR has reported continuing growth in passenger numbers and sales revenues in 2014, as the company celebrated its 20th anniversary and unveiled its new e320 trains.

Last year, passenger numbers rose by three percent to 10.4 million, bringing the total number of passengers travelling on Eurostar since the start of services in 1994 to more than 150 million.

Sales revenues increased by one percent to £867 million.

The numbers were underpinned, in particular, by the recovery in the UK economy which also led to an increase in business travel bookings.
