- Affirmed
“Based on their review of the financial forecasts, including a severe but plausible change in its trading performance, the support to the company from FirstGroup plc and having regard to the risks and uncertainties to which the company is exposed, the company directors believe that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the 12 month period from the date on which the financial statements were approved. Accordingly, the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.”
Significant events
- “The company is currently in dispute with ASLEF, who represent our train drivers. Strike action has taken place since year end with the current strike mandate renewed to February 2026. On strike days, the company has operated an amended timetable to mitigate the loss of passenger revenue.”

- “The company was awarded the Institute of Customer Service ServiceMark Accreditation, which recognises its commitment to customer service.”
