Significant events
- “The reported result reflects increase to staff costs resulting from changes to employer's national insurance rate and threshold in April 2025, and a number of non-recurring and prudential year-end provisions in particular, an additional motor insurance provision of A 121,000 was included in the accounts reflecting higher insurer reserves against open claims.”
- “The continuation of Bus Fare Cap Scheme by Department for Transport, the award of new contracts and extension to existing contracts have seen the service levels and patronage increased in the year.”
- “The Zero Emission Bus Regional Areas (ZEBRA) project progressed during the year. Five electric buses were received in the year and an additional twenty-two electric buses placed on order.”
- “The investment in Uno Buses (Northampton) Limited was impaired in July 2025 after the directors agreed to dissolve the company before 30 April 2026.”
- “Discussion is ongoing between the company and Department for Transport (DfT) regarding FY202324 claims relating to the operation of certain bus services. A contingent liability of A 313,000 is disclosed to reflect this uncertainty.”
