High speed train operator Eurostar has reported a 7% year-on-year increase in sales for the first half of 2013, taking its revenues to GBP453 million.
Passenger numbers rose by 2% (to 4.9 million) and the company has laid on over 200 extra services between London and Paris to meet the demand.
“We have delivered a strong performance in the first half of 2013, characterised by new routes, extra services and increasing sales revenues,” said Nicolas Petrovic, chief executive of Eurostar. “A trip on Eurostar continues to be a big draw for international and European travellers alike. We have seen a surge in booking from outside Europe and our new service to Provence has proved a great success with many services running at full capacity”.
