Eurostar’s passenger numbers and sales revenues grew in 2014

Eurostar reported continuing growth in passenger numbers and sales revenues in 2014. Last year, passenger numbers rose by 3% to 10.4 million, bringing the total number of passengers travelling on Eurostar since the start of services in 1994 to over 150 million. 2014 sales revenues increased by 1% to £867 million (1,170 million euros). This performance was due to the strong recovery in the UK economy which also led to an increase in business travel bookings throughout the year. In 2014 the number of Eurostar business travellers increased by 4% compared with 2013. “2014 was a pivotal year for our business as we celebrated our 20th anniversary and unveiled our new fleet,” Nicolas Petrovic, Chief Executive of Eurostar, said.
