1. Channel Tunnel Fixed Link Concession

   At €907.7 million, revenue for the Fixed Link showed an increase of 5% in 2016. Including Europorte, consolidated revenues for the Eurotunnel Group grew to €1.023 billion, a like for like increase of 4%.

   Revenue from Shuttle Services increased by +10% to €602.7 million compared to the same period in the previous year through an increase in yield.

   Revenue from the Railway Network was down 3% due to the reduction in Eurostar traffic as a consequence of the terrorist attacks in Belgium in March and Nice in July.

2. Rail freight operators: Europorte and its subsidiaries

Revenue for Europorte was down 6% due to the long and repeated SNCF strikes which paralysed the French national infrastructure for 2 months and to the poor cereal harvest in 2016, the worst for 30 years.
