Still no word from the Public Carriage Office on that hideously long queue of taxis waiting outside St Pancras. It probably has something to do with the fact that Eurostar is thriving. Visitor numbers from the continent rose 15% in December, as our cross-channel cousins took advantage of the weak pound for a spot of bargain hunting. Passenger numbers rose by 10% throughout 2008, despite a closure to the tunnel in September because of a fire. It's just as well business is booming. St Pancras supports a seemingly unfeasible number of eateries and bars; if the throughput of passengers does not continue to increase through 2009 we'd be suprised if they all stay in business.
