HC Deb 07 March 2002 vol 381 c560W
Mr. Don Foster

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, Local Government and the Regions, pursuant to his answer of 12 February 2002,Official Report, column 220W, on rail passengers, for what reason growth in Eurostar passenger and revenues is expected to continue. [40270]

Mr. Jamieson

Economic growth is the main cause of long term growth in Eurostar passenger demand and revenues. Eurostar will also benefit from the completion of Sections 1 and 2 of the Channel Tunnel Rail Link, which will allow Eurostar to reduce journey times, improve reliability and increase the frequency of services.
