Channel Tunnel rail operator Eurostar has reported a 25.2% rise in sales for the first three months of 2008. The high-speed passenger train service, linking Britain to mainland Europe, said sales rose to £178.4m ($352.4m), as passenger numbers increased by 21%. It carried 2.17 million passengers from January to March, after seeing record passenger numbers during 2007. Eurostar, which recently moved from Waterloo to St Pancras station, began public services in November 1994. The station transfer came at the same time as the completion of the London to Folkestone high speed link which has produced faster journey times between London and Paris and London and Brussels.
