In a trading update ahead of full-year results FirstGroup said rail operations had benefited from higher demand and the settlement of one-off infrastructure and other claims during the period.
“Due to the slightly stronger performance in First Rail detailed above, the group anticipates that its full-year 2024 group adjusted operating profit and adjusted earnings will be slightly ahead of the board’s previous expectations,” the company said on Tuesday.
