FTSE 250 movers: Mobico, 888 recover some ground

London’s FTSE 250 was down 0.9% at 17,057.83 in afternoon trade on Friday.

Mobico - formerly National Express - was the standout performer on the index. Last Thursday, the shares tumbled more than 20% after it cut its full-year earnings outlook and said it was looking to sell its North America school bus business and suspend the final dividend.

William Hill and Mr Green owner 888 was also in the black, having fallen earlier in the week after it posted a slump in third-quarter revenues, as it took a hit from new gambling regulations and customer-friendly results.
