Eurostar last week recorded its best ever punctuality performance since services started in November 1994.
The rail operator said 98.5% of scheduled trains arrived on time or early between Monday May 7 and Sunday May 13.
On Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday 100% of trains arrived on time or early.
In 2006 91.5% of Eurostar services arrived on time or early – up from 86.3% in 2005.
Simon Montague, Eurostar director of communications, said: “Punctuality is a key factor for travellers when they make their travel choices. It is no wonder that increasing numbers of business travellers are switching from short-haul airlines to high-speed rail.”
