National Express owner's UK revenue falls amid turnaround effort
The company, which also runs some bus services across Britain, said bus revenues were slightly higher than last year, with passenger volumes remaining roughly the same.
Mobico's previous chief executive Ignacio Garat left last month after a series of profit warnings.
The company recently welcomed back chairman Phil White, who was chief executive between 1996 and 2006.
The company announced a 9% bump in first quarter revenue overall after a strong performance from its Spanish business ALSA.
But the group is part-way through a 'large scale, complex turnaround' of its UK business.
Mr White said: 'In my first weeks in the role I have met with many of our shareholders and spent time with our many businesses.
'I can see that considerable value and momentum exists across the group, and 9% revenue growth in the first quarter is evidence of continuing growth in demand for our services, particularly in ALSA.
'Our priority remains in strengthening our balance sheet and accelerating the pace of operational and financial improvement to drive the change that is necessary to creating a business that can take advantage of the opportunities ahead.'
Shares have fallen nearly two-thirds this year, amid Mr Garat's departure at the end of April.

'I left UK for Spanish city nearly 10 years ago and neighbours are furious at changes'
A Briton who moved from the UK to Barcelona in 2017, has said that locals are frustrated by the influx of foreigners and that things have gotten worse since the end of the Covid-19 pandemic A British expat living in Barcelona has said that locals are becoming increasingly frustrated with the transformation of their neighbourhoods. Gemma Askham relocated to the popular Spanish city in 2017 due to her half-Spanish husband's work and has resided there ever since. Whilst the first six years were relatively uneventful, a surge in expats, coupled with anti-tourism sentiment fuelled by the Southern Europe Network Against Touristification (SET) movement, has altered the local area. Due to the influx of foreigners and tourists to Barcelona, the economy has shifted to cater to their preferences and requirements, rather than vice versa. Gemma noted that this dynamic between expats and their adopted country intensified following the Covid-19 pandemic. In an article for Grazia, she stated: "In 2023, a street pedestrianisation project aimed at improving community life was completed. But there are now eight English-named brunch cafes within two blocks." She also said that her 69-year-old neighbour, Toni Fontclara, is puzzled by people lining up at 11am for avocado on toast "a dish not from the region, served at an unheard-of eating hour for the Spanish, with a menu in a language he doesn't speak". Gemma isn't alone in noticing the changing face of Barcelona, which has seen a decrease in tourists following years of anti-tourism protests. Another Briton, also residing in Barcelona, revealed that certain parts of the city had become significantly quieter, as visitors are being deterred from travelling there. Laura, who has called the city home for two-and-a-half years, turned to social media to share footage of deserted streets earlier this month, capturing just how eerily silent they remained throughout the day. She said: "Day one of recording how quiet Barcelona is now the tourists don't feel welcome. The businesses must be feeling it The streets are so quiet now. These businesses last year used to wake me up in the morning. One has just recently been renovated." Laura's footage shows just how successful some of the demonstrations have been, though opinion remains split on their intentions. While some demonstrators have been demanding tourists leave, others maintain the protests stem from a wish to safeguard locals, rather than alienate visitors. Professor Marina Novelli explained: "Places like Lisbon, Venice and Barcelona are increasingly reduced to lifestyle backdrops where locals feel like strangers. The SET movement is about cross-border solidarity. Ultimately, it's not anti-tourist, it's pro-resident."

Five transfer targets Arsenal could move for including Rodrygo and Lookman if they offload £100m worth of flops
Scroll down to see how realistic each target could be for Arsenal GUNNER GO FOR IT Five transfer targets Arsenal could move for including Rodrygo and Lookman if they offload £100m worth of flops Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) MIKEL ARTETA has been backed to the tune of over £200m this summer already, but Arsenal are still open to bringing in another fresh face before the transfer deadline. The Gunners appear to still be in the market for another attacking option, with a left winger most likely, but it's clear they will have to sell before they can buy. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 8 Mikel Arteta could still add another new face this summer Credit: Getty 8 The Gunners have spent big on players like Viktor Gyokeres Credit: Getty 8 Leandro Trossard and Reiss Nelson are two stars that could be sold to raise funds Credit: The Times Despite having a lot of headroom regarding PSR regulations, Arsenal are tight on Uefa Financial Fair Play rules. Arrivals of players like Viktor Gyokeres, Martin Zubimendi and Noni Madueke have meant the Gunners' net spend is the second highest in the league this summer. Title rivals Liverpool, who have been spending for fun, find themselves in a far better position despite spending over £315m since the window first opened. That's because The Reds have sold well, shifting on the likes of Luis Diaz, Darwin Nunez, Jarell Quansah and Ben Gannon Doak for big money. READ MORE ON FOOTBALL HE'S A KEEPER Man Utd have obvious solution to goalkeeper crisis, and it's not Donnarumma Arsenal will need to do the same with their pool of deadwood if they are to raise the funds to dip back into the market. Fabio Vieira, Oleksandr Zinchenko, Leandro Trossard, Jakub Kiwior, Albert Sambi Lokonga and Reiss Nelson all seem to be available for the right price. Should Arsenal manage to sell all six of those players for their current transfer value it could take their outgoings to well in excess of £100m, allowing them to re-enter the market. Here, SunSport breaks down five potential targets the Emirates outfit could make a move for if they are able to raise the funds to re-line their pockets.... RODRYGO Real Madrid star Rodrygo has been linked with Arsenal for most of the window. The 24-year-old Brazilian would be seen by many as a big upgrade on Gabriel Martinelli if he is able to replicate his form for Madrid over the years. However, he has been short on minutes in the Spanish capital and actually scored less league goals that Martinelli last term. That said, Arsenal have picked up players hiding in the shadows of La Liga's superteams before and had great success. Arteta would be hoping that Rodrygo can be a Martin Odegaard or Alexis Sanchez, and not a Dani Ceballos or Denis Suarez. 8 ANTHONY GORDON Arsenal are known to have a long-held interest in Anthony Gordon and Arteta is always fond of a Premier League ready arrival. Gordon has become a crucial part of Newcastle's rebuild under manager Eddie Howe but could be ready to take the next step in his career. The England international hasn't been in the greatest patch of form recently and new surroundings could be exactly what he needs. However, the chances of Newcastle letting Gordon go are very low given the likelihood that they will already be waving goodbye to star man Alexander Isak before the window closes. 8 ADEMOLA LOOKMAN Arsenal were first linked with Ademola Lookman last summer and the winger has been exceptional for Atlanta since. His exit from the Serie A club looks likely, with the 27-year-old submitting a transfer request earlier in the window to try and force through a move to Inter Milan. Reports now claim that Inter have walked away from the deal after Atalanta rejected their £38m bid, potentially opening the door for Arsenal to swoop in. Lookman has previous Premier League appearances from his brief spells with Leicester City, Fulham and Everton. 8 RAFAEL LEAO Rafael Leao has become one of the most consistent top performers in Serie A over the past five years. His versatility would mean that he could play anywhere across the front three for Arsenal and would offer even more depth to Arteta's side. He's still tied down to a contract with AC Milan until 2028 and so won't be a cheap option if the Gunners try to make a move. But with Milan out of Europe altogether this season, the temptation of Champions League football could potentially turn Leao's head. 8 BRADLEY BARCOLA Admittedly this one seems unlikely, but if Arsenal can raise over £100m from player sales then it could tee them up for a marquee signing. Barcola, 22, is one of the most highly-rated wingers in Europe at the moment, having a hand in seven of PSG's goals on their journey to Champions League glory last season. And while a switch to Arsenal may not seem realistic, Barcola would be given the chance to be one of the stars in North London, rather than staying in the shadows of Ousmane Dembele, Desire Doue and Kvicha Kvaratskhelia in Paris. He's already been linked with a Premier League switch this summer, with Liverpool reportedly sniffing around. But if Arsenal could get their hands on one of Europe's best gems it would go a long way in finally getting them over the line for a league title. 8

'I'm a travel agent who's planned 6,000 holidays - there's one essential I always pack'
Claire Le Moigne, who has spent 35 years as a TUI retail manager, has shared her top tips for heading away on holiday, including the one thing that she always takes with her Holidaymakers should always pack one cheap essential with them before heading away, according to a veteran travel agent. Claire Le Moigne has spent 35 years as a TUI retail manager and has now shared the top packing hacks she's learnt from over three decades working in the travel industry. Whilst she's worked in stores in Leeds, Wakefield and Selby, she's also travelled across the globe to more than 20 destinations. She's booked well over 6,000 holidays for her customers and is still booking trips for the same families she did 35 years ago. It comes following news that Spanish islands fear Brits won't return as tourists are dealt another blow. Claire said: 'Over the years I've been on my fair share of trips, but I've also helped all of my customers prepare for their summer holidays. I've picked up lots of tips and tricks along the way when it comes to the essentials we should take away, but I've also seen firsthand some of the biggest mistakes that travellers make with their luggage.' Her absolute must-have when heading away is something that many households will already own, but may not think to take with them on holiday. 'I never travel without a foldable tote bag when I go on holiday. They pack away super small, but they're so handy for any items I accumulate over the day – whether that's souvenirs or even dirty clothes from the kids! Whether I need some extra room whilst trekking around a city or want a beach bag on a fly and flop break, it always comes in handy," Claire explained. From avoiding overweight cases and forgotten chargers, to preparing for mid-trip Marmite cravings, here are Claire's tried and tested summer holiday packing tips which have helped her customers get from check-in to sun lounger hassle free. Keep the clothes light 'Avoid the trap that 88% of Brits fall into and don't pack clothes that you won't wear. Before you pop clothes in a suitcase plan out which items you can use for which outfit and try them on – take a quick picture and then you'll be able to remember exactly what options you have. "I tend to do this a couple of weeks before I pack, ensuring I've got myself covered for evening outfit changes too. I make sure to leave plenty of room for shoe options. It's also a good idea to pack outfits that can be mixed and matched. For example, three different tops that go with two different pairs of shorts. I always weigh my bags ahead of time too and add on any extra luggage before I travel if I needed.' Take your creature comforts 'Brits are known for bringing teddies, slippers and even ketchup on holiday – so lean into it. If bringing a few items as part of a comfort kit will help ease homesickness for you or your family, then why not make room for the jar of Marmite! I can never leave for my holidays without a stash of my favourite teabags. They don't take up lots of space or weight, so why not chuck them in!' Ditch folding for rolling, bundling or filing 'Nobody wants to spend their time ironing on holiday. I always opt to roll my clothes to help avoid creases and to save space. If you need that extra bit of compression you can try the 'bundle method' where you wrap larger items around smaller ones. That said, if you're someone who doesn't like to unpack their suitcase when you get to your destination, filing your clothes vertically lets you see everything in your case at a glance – you just might need to take more advantage of a travel iron!' Sticky notes are your best friend 'Every holiday, the average Brit forgets two essential items. They're usually things like travel adaptors, chargers or toothbrushes. So, before you zip up your bag, physically check off your essentials: phone, passport, charger, swimming costume, and, yes, underwear! A sticky note checklist on your front door works wonders to jog your memory. The week before I travel, I write a list of things I need to buy, the essentials like suncream and insect repellent. It keeps me super relaxed on the way to the airport knowing everything is already in my case.' Don't leave things hanging 'The worst packing mistake I've ever heard was by a lady who packed for her partner and left their clothes hanging up at home ready to go in the case! At the end of the day, the clothes are all going in the suitcase, so sitting in there for an extra few days won't hurt. Better that than being left with nothing to wear.' Downsize your toiletries 'Most destinations sell shampoo and bodywash, so there's no need to pack the whole bathroom cupboard. Instead, swap out bulky bottles for travel-size refills or reusable containers. Make-up wipes and solid toiletries like shampoo bars can also save space and prevent leaks. If in doubt, it's worth wrapping up a bottle in a plastic bag to prevent any spillages in transit.' In-flight essentials 'It's a given that eye masks, earplugs and noise-cancelling headphones are essential for comfort on a plane, but one thing a lot of people forget to bring is a reusable water bottle. You can refill it after security, and cabin crew are often able to top you up during long flights too – this is a great money saving hack so you don't end up spending extra pounds on disposable bottles for the whole family. "It's also really important to stay hydrated during a flight – the air can get quite dehydrating. That's also why I like to bring a little facemask for a long flight. An hour or so before landing I'll pop it on to properly wake me up after any naps and I always feel so much more refreshed.'
