Long distance bus services boosted because of flights disruption

In the Czech Republic, extra long distance buses have been laid on by coach operator Eurolines to Frankfurt, Brussels, Paris, Munich and Amsterdam. But no extra services can be put onto Britain because the channel rail tunnel is already fully booked. Czech Railways reported a rush to buy tickets with business up 30 percent on normal due to the disruption to air traffic. Business was especially brisk for tickets to Germany and Austria. Booking office hours were extended to deal with the rush.
