EUROSTAR saw record revenues in the first three months of the year, as
business travellers swelled passenger numbers. The rail operator also
claimed one of its best ever periods of punctuality. A total of 1.7m
travellers used Eurostar during the first quarter and punctuality
reached 92%, up from 83% from the same period in 2005. In 2007, just
one year away, with the completion of the UK high-speed line to London
St Pancras, journey times will be reduced significantly. London to
Paris is scheduled for 2hrs 15mins, London to Brussels 1hr 51mins and
London to Lille 1hr 20mins. During May Eurostar will be active in
promoting the Da Vinci Code film.
