“Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”
Significant events
- “2023 and 2024 saw increased passenger numbers and amended scheduled services.”
- “During the first few months of 2024 the Director had to be extremely proactive in seeking to continue to address and mitigate, where possible, the impact of various increased cost pressures in order to maintain the business and its returns, while managing an increase in competition from both road and rail.”
