The company is particularly pleased with the increase in the number of Comfort 1 (first class) passengers. Eurostar was equally satisfied, with traffic up by 3 % to 4.7 million passengers over the same period. Here too, Eurostar is highlighting the dynamism of its Business Premier class, which recorded a jump of 9 % over the half-year. "These figures reflect the very dynamic economic activity between France, Belgium and the UK, particularly in the finance sector, which is driving growth in business travel, both in terms of volume and value".said Eurostar in a press release. In fact, it is not certain that this six-month trend will continue in the second half of the year, following the tensions that have affected the European economies since the summer.
