“The directors have prepared the financial statements on the going concern basis as they do not intend to liquidate the Company or to cease its operations, and as they have concluded that the Company's financial position means that this is realistic. They have also concluded that there are no material uncertainties that could have cast significant doubt over its ability to continue as a going concern for at least a year from the date of approval of the financial statements ("the going concern period").”
Significant events
- “On 02 August 2024, the Company entered into equity and loan arrangements to fund the purchase and leaseback of the new trains from Alstom Transportation Germany GmbH to run on the Baden-Württemberg and Saale-Thuringia-Southern Harz (STS) networks in Germany.”
