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

Margins divide P&L lines by turnover. Gearing is liabilities over total assets. Current ratio is current assets over creditors falling due within one year. Interest cover is operating profit over absolute finance costs. Sector-distribution context coming next.

Affirmed

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.”
