Eurostar sales revenues have increased 15% year-on-year for the first quarter of 2017, boosted by strong performances in the business travel and overseas markets.
Revenues increased from £201 million in the first three months in 2016 to £232 million for the same period in 2017.
Passenger numbers for the period were up by 2% to 2.27 million.
The increase in travellers originating from markets outside Europe that was reported in the early part of this year continued throughout the first quarter, with the number of passengers from the US and the rest of the world growing by 13% and 18% respectively.
The business travel market is proving robust with the overall volume of business travellers up by 6% in the first three months of the year.
This trend is particularly true of the UK, where the volume of business passengers has risen by 9% year-on-year in the first quarter.
Eurostar chief executive Nicolas Petrovic said: "The last quarter has been marked by a resurgence in the number of overseas travellers coming to Europe, buoyed up in part by the favourable exchange rates.
"With our new-state-of-the-art trains offering increased capacity, we are well-placed to take advantage of the growth in visitors coming to our destinations."
