How was 2011-12 for public transport in general and for Stagecoach Group in particular? Sir Brian: We’ve had another strong year right across the whole Group. There’s no doubt the general weakness in the economy and the reduction in public sector spending on transport have brought their challenges for our sector, but Stagecoach has been resilient and is continuing to grow strongly. We’re seeing commuters and leisure travellers switching from the car to our bus and rail services in the UK and North America. The Group is also well positioned to benefit from opportunities for growth in the year ahead. Why has Stagecoach been able to manage the challenges better than some other businesses? Sir Brian: Stagecoach has always been different from other transport groups – and that is one of our strengths. We manage a portfolio of business assets and look at how we can do that to deliver value to our shareholders. It’s not about getting bigger for the sake of it. I think we have pursued the right strategy over several years by targeting organic growth. We’ve developed a successful mix of innovation, value-for-money travel, continued investment in our services and strong operational delivery. Our management teams have used tailored solutions in their specific markets, regardless of their geography. All of these factors have meant we’ve had a resilient business that has been able to continue to grow through the economic cycle. There’s been a lot of focus in the media over the past year about the threat to bus networks in the UK. What is your view on the future for the bus? Sir Brian: We have always been focused on having at our core a strong commercial bus business. That has stood us in good stead. You can’t expect the level of public sector cuts and cost pressures we are seeing not to impact prices and bus networks. But it’s how you respond to that challenge which is important. Stagecoach is the best value major bus operator in the UK and our approach has been to work hard to continue to offer the lowest fares, maintain strong networks and keep on investing in our bus fleet. That is why, in UK Bus, we have consistently delivered organic growth and sector leading profit margins over many years and I’m confident the bus can play a major role in our transport future. What about the London contracted market - how is your turnaround plan progressing? Sir Brian: It’s going well. Turning around an under performing business is a challenge and one we went into with our eyes open. The real positive is that we have been able to make significant cost savings and changes in working practices, productivity and the culture of the business with the support of our people.
