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

“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. The directors have considered relevant information, including the company's principal risks and uncertainties, the annual budget, forecast future cash flows and the impact of subsequent events in making their assessment.”
Significant events
- “The 2023/24 financial year was a transitional period for the company. During this time, early signs of improved financial health and operational profitability began to emerge. The prior year was characterised by the induction of new programmes of work, including the disruptive implementation of new facilities and the inevitable inefficiencies associated with initial stages. These investments and efforts laid a solid foundation for the success experienced in 2024/25.”
- “In the 2024/25 financial year, core programmes reached full operational capacity. Activities such as passenger-grade paint refinishing, luxury train refurbishment and high-volume wheel turning, contributed to a strong performance. The positive cash flows generated during this period have significantly strengthened the company's balance sheet. A continued reduction in liabilities and an increase in cash reserves have enhanced the business's agility, which will enable it to pursue growth opportunities more effectively going forward.”
