Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers

“Cash flow forecasts have been prepared for the Group (being Trainline plc and its underlying subsidiaries) for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of these Financial Statements which indicate that, taking account of reasonably possible downsides, the Company will have sufficient funds, through funding from its ultimate Parent Company, Trainline plc, to meet its liabilities as they fall due for that period. ... Consequently, the Directors are confident that the Company will have sufficient funds to continue to meet its liabilities as they fall due for at least 12 months from the date of approval of the Financial Statements and therefore have prepared the Financial Statements on a going concern basis.”
