I wondered about that too -- that passenger trains would benefit. I heard today that flights to the UK have been suspended until Saturday & probably even later. It depends on wind patterns and it there will be future eruptions. I also heard that flights to northwestern Europe (from Spain northwards) have also been delayed.
Previous volcanic eruptions from other volcanoes have caused the night sky to dim (I used to be into astronomy a lot) and I believe they caused redder sunsets as well. Back in 1991, Mount Pinatubo erupted and the very cool summer that we had in 1992 was blamed on that.
So I'm wondering now if this eruption will make our upcoming summer much cooler, especially seeing that Iceland is much closer to North America compared to the Philippines.
