- Affirmed
“As at 31 December 2024, the Company had net current liabilities of £36,427,000 (2023 £26,928,000). As the Company was loss-making in the period the ultimate parent company, FirstGroup plc, has given assurance to provide support to the Company for at least twelve months from the date of issuing this report. During 2023, the Company continued to evolve the management team to add experience and drive improvements in the underlying business. In 2024 and into 2025, the Company continues to invest in the modernisation of operating standards in the garages, investment in new technology and further electrification of the garage infrastructure, with the expectation that these will reduce the operating loss and help drive the Company back to profitability in the future. The Directors have therefore deemed it appropriate to prepare these financial statements on a going concern basis.”
Significant events
- “On 28 February 2025, the controlling interest of the holding company was acquired by First Bus Holdings Limited. Since 28 February 2025, the company is considered to be wholly owned subsidiary of FirstGroup plc and part of the Bus division of FirstGroup plc.”
- “In 2025 the Company aims to operate over 45% of its bus routes from Westbourne Park with an electric fleet of buses. This focus and programme of electrification will continue over the coming years as the Company supports the TfL ambition to have a 100% zero-emission bus fleet in London in the future by 2030.”
- “Forvis Mazars LLP will not be reappointed as the Company's auditors for the financial year commencing 1 January 2025. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP will be appointed as auditors as of this date.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
