Audit & accounting basis

Accounting basis: FRS 102
Reporting scope: Standalone (parent only)
Auditor: Armstrong Watson Audit Limited
Audit opinion: Unqualified (clean)
Going concern: Affirmed
“At the time of approving the financial statements, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”

Significant events

“Growth in passenger volumes and revenue has been driven by year-on-year improvements in service reliability and punctuality. There has been constant improvement in the vehicle fleet through group investment and this, along with controlling the impact of a national labour shortage, is helping to contribute to the consistency of service delivery. We operate 99.5% of scheduled mileage on a daily basis.”

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
