Audit & accounting basis
From AI-extracted PDF accounts
- Accounting basis
- FRS 102
- Auditor
- Larking Gowen LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Material uncertainty disclosed
“Whilst the projections appear to take into account all known factors, there is still a risk that they will not match actual results. Rising costs of living and the impact on disposable income may adversely affect consumer confidence, which could cast doubt over the projected passenger numbers for the coming 12 months. The Directors are very optimistic that the Company would be able to meet its liabilities as they fall due, but with the uncertainty within the industry and the timing of scheduled bond repayments they cannot guarantee this at the point in time. As such, this represents a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern and therefore, that it may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.”
Significant events
- “Continued innovation and improvement of events, dining trains and driver experiences helped achieve a modest surplus and enhancements are in hand for the current period.”
- “Considerable effort has been spent in judiciously increasing the fleet of locomotives based on the line in order to provide more resilience for the periods out of service that are inevitable with heritage engines.”
- “The year also saw considerable investment in IT and systems, with Electronic Point of Sale (EPOS) tills introduced in buffets and shops providing standardisation, better data and management control.”
- “The engineering function was re-evaluated during the year and the focus of the Weybourne team is now primarily to provide the locomotives and rolling stock needed to run NNR services.”
- “At an Extraordinary General Meeting on 1st February 2025, resolutions were passed to issue 100 £1 Preference Shares with voting rights to the Midland and Great Northern Joint Railway Society, remove existing voting rights from ordinary shares, and amend company articles.”
- “Subsequent to the balance sheet date, the Company was notified of a legacy bequest, with an interim payment of £85,000 received.”
