 Eurostar move to StPancras a success, despite predictions of gloom from SWT-land.
"The cross channel operator reports a 24.7% increase on ticket sales
between January and June this year compared to last with traveller
numbers reaching 4.63 million, an 18.3% year-on-year increase.
"It added that a significant chunk of the boosted sales was thanks to
better links with St Pancras from areas north of London. Cities that saw
the strongest growth in Eurostar travellers are Derby (up 190%),
Nottingham (up 131%), Sheffield (up 128%), York (up 127%), Leicester (up
113%), Newcastle (up 107%), Leeds (up 99%) and Birmingham (up 70%)
