Significant events
- “Administration Expenses increased to £9,109,728 (2024: £8,067,445) mainly as a result of preparing for a substantial management restructure in early 2025 and the introduction of a lease charge for Starr Gate depot of £427,000.”
- “Interest payable and similar charges have increased from £468,326 to £782,656 as a result of additional borrowings from Blackpool Council to fund the refurbishment and modernisation of a bus engineering workshop at Rigby Road and preparation for the Zebra Project.”
- “Borrowings have increased from £15,850,037 to £17,519,696 during the period caused by the additional loan taken for the redevelopment of the Rigby Road site in preparation for the arrival of ZEB buses.”
- “The principal uncertainty surrounds a new market entrant Uber who entered the market in June 2024 and have significantly decreased bus patronage (5%).”
- “The tramway extension to North Station opened in June 2024. The overall effect on tram revenue and costs was slightly detrimental due to early infrastructure problems which continued throughout the main tourist season.”
