Eurotunnel breaks through €1bn barrier

Paris - Channel Tunnel operator Eurotunnel achieved one billion euros in turnover in 2013 for the first time, the company said on Wednesday.

That was an increase of 10.0% from the 2012 figure to €1.09bn ($1.48 bn).

The main reason for the growth in traffic was performance by rail freight operator Europorte, which turned in a year-on-year increase of 13.8%.

High-speed train traffic through the tunnel increased also, by 1.3%.

The tunnel runs beneath the sea between northern France and southern England.
