Material uncertainty over going concern
Given the Secretary of State of Transport has the ability to initiate the break clause and thus terminate the NRC in the next 12 months from signing the financial statements, this indicates the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt about the company's ability to continue as a going concern.

Significant events
- “On 19 October 2023, Deutsche Bahn AG ('DB') announced an agreement had been signed under which Arriva Limited, the company's intermediate parent company, would be sold to I Squared Capital. This transaction completed on 31 May 2024. Following this, the company was no longer part of the DB group.”
- “On 25 March 2025 it was confirmed that Chiltern Railways had been selected by the Department for Transport as the passenger service operator for the first stage of East West Rail, between Oxford and Milton Keynes.”
- “Services will support regional economic growth and provide easier and faster connectivity with trains calling at Oxford, Oxford Parkway, Bicester Village, Winslow, Bletchley and Milton Keynes Central along the route.”
- “Chiltern Railways will be the station facility operator of the new step free access station at Winslow, improving rail connectivity for rural communities in Buckinghamshire.”
