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.

Exact date 'megafire' could engulf Spanish hotspots as locals call for 'urgent' help
The Extremadura region in the west of Spain is experiencing one of the most serious environmental crises in its recent history as forest fires sweep across the area A 'megafire' will engulf a Spanish region if urgent action isn't taken, officials have warned. The Extremadura region in the west of the country is experiencing one of the most serious environmental crises in its recent history as forest fires sweep across the area. More than 30,000 hectares of land have been burned so far, making it one of the worst-hit regions during a summer in which woodlands, fields, and hills across Spain, Portugal, and France have been destroyed. The most critical fire is the Jarilla fire in the province of Cáceres, which has razed more than 15,500 hectares. Now, Extremadura's Minister of the Presidency, Interior, and Social Dialogue, Abel Bautista, has issued a stark alert as firefighters struggle to get the flames under control. It comes after a warning to Brit tourists planning all-inclusive holidays to Spain. Mr Bautista has warned that a "megafire" will take over imminently if more resources aren't provided to tackle the problem. He has criticised the pace of the response after a detailed list of the necessary resources was drawn up last Friday, only for them to arrive days later, OK Diario reports. The politician has argued that today (Tuesday, August 19) is the "key day" to control the blaze. Mr Bautista has requested that Pedro Sánchez's government "urgently send reinforcements," including fire trucks, heavy machinery, and extra firefighters. The dry terrain of the sparse region and strong winds threaten to spread the flames further. The magnitude of the fire has forced the evacuation of several towns and has tested the capabilities of emergency teams, who are working tirelessly to contain the fires. It is feared that towns Jerte and Tornavacas could be impacted next. A 100 soldiers have now been sent into the region to fight the fires, and a Slovak Black Hawk helicopter carrying 3,400 litres of water will be deployed at the forestry brigade base in Cáceres. Given its landlocked position on the Portuguese border, visitors to Extremadura most often head there to enjoy its wild, natural beauty. It is an important area for wildlife, particularly the reserve at Monfragüe, which was designated a National Park in 2007, and the International Tagus River Natural Park. Last night, flames began to spread through the upper part of El Chorro, a steep canyon with a river running through its bed. Firefighters managed to stop the flames before they caused too much damage to one of the region's most strikingly beautiful spots. Firefighting resources will remain on high alert to prevent further damage in the area. Google's wildfires satellite map provides real-time data on the spread of blazes across the region, which now cover hundreds of thousands of acres in Portugal and Spain alone. Last night it was announced that Spain has sent 500 more troops to fight raging wildfires, bringing the total deployed to 1,900, as the death toll from the blazes has risen to four. As habitats are ravaged and lives lost as a result of the fire, it is alarming to consider that such natural disasters are becoming more and more common. The summer of 2024 was the hottest on record for Europe, according to BBC Weather and Copernicus Climate Change Service. This year has been little better. From mid-June to early July, Western Europe experienced its highest average temperatures for this period in decades, and the hottest June on record. Temperatures soared above 40°C, and up to 46°C in Spain and Portugal, Nature reports. Global heating as a consequence of human actions are in large part of blame. Across 12 major European cities this year, about 1,500 of 2,300 estimated heat-related deaths were driven by the extra heat resulting from fossil-fuel emissions, according to a Grantham Institute's report.

Why British behaviour in Spain is getting locals backs up – even if you think you're being polite
Ordering drinks can result in some Brits sounding like Shakespeare SPAIN PAIN Why British behaviour in Spain is getting locals backs up – even if you think you're being polite WHILE little can go wrong with a friendly "¡Hola!" to a waiter or "mañana" to a maid in Spain some Brit tourists are making paella of a mess of the Spanish language. That's according to a language expert who has revealed his golden rules to spare the blushes of Brits abroad. 1 Don't try to be too polite or too posh when talking to the locals, says a language expert Though most tourists from the UK think themselves the epitome of politeness on holiday their well-intentioned manners could well backfire on them. Advertisement One of the biggest blunders is Brits trying to sound too polite – or too posh. Language guru James Smith has spent more than a decade teaching Spanish and living across Spain, Argentina and Costa Rica. He said the issue stems from a fundamental cultural misunderstanding. 'British tourists think they're being respectful by using elaborate politeness, but Spanish culture values directness,' he said. Advertisement 'What we consider courteous can actually make Spanish speakers uncomfortable because it sounds unnatural and forced.' Here are James' golden rules for getting along with the locals: Politeness doesn't translate Never say "I'm terribly sorry to bother you" – it's too abstract in Spanish. Be direct. 'I've watched British tourists tie themselves in knots trying to be polite, and the Spanish person just looks bewildered,' said James. Advertisement 'They're wondering why this person is apologising so much for a simple request.' Brits vow to defy anti-tourism zealots after 1000s of sunbeds across Majorca were scrapped Don't sound like Shakespeare Too often people try to sound posh. Don't. 'The phrase 'would you mind' doesn't really exist in Spanish the way we use it," said James, of Learn Spanish with James. 'You end up with these clunky translations that make you sound like you're performing Shakespeare in a café.' With these points in mind, here are some everyday phrases James suggested Brits can try out on the streets of Spain. Advertisement Ordering a drink British way: 'Would it be possible to have a coffee, if that's not too much trouble?' Spanish way: 'Un café, por favour' (A coffee, please) Getting someone's attention British way: 'Excuse me, I'm terribly sorry to interrupt…' Spanish way: 'Disculpe' (Excuse me) Making requests in shops British way: 'Would you mind if I had a look at that, please?' Spanish way: 'Ese, por favour' (That one, please) - while pointing to the item. 'Even asking 'Can I see that?' sounds overly formal in Spanish,' James explained. 'Just point to what you want and say 'that one, please' - it's perfectly polite and completely natural.' 'The beauty of Spanish communication is its simplicity,' James added. 'You're not being rude by being direct. You're being clear. That's actually more respectful than making someone decode your overly complex politeness.'

Brits warned of easy mistake that makes Spanish locals think you're rude
A Spanish expert has offered some advice for Brits abroad (Image: Getty ) The overly polite Brits may actually be annoying Spaniards with excessive manners. While Brits may now be in a battle with the Japanese for the title of world's most polite people, the origin of modern manners - or etiquette - as we know them has roots in France. "The word etiquette to which we so often refer actually originates from the French estiquette –' to attach or stick'. Indeed, the modern understanding of the word can be linked to the Court of the French King Louis XIV, who used small placards called etiquettes , as a reminder to courtiers of accepted 'house rules' such as not walking through certain areas of the palace gardens," writes Historic UK. This intervention comes after British passport holders were urged to do one important thing before October 12. READ MORE: British Airways tourist 'vomited on family and spat wine at them' on Heathrow flight READ MORE: Lesser-known national park has turquoise waters, dramatic cliffs and no crowds Navigating Spanish culture can be tricky (Image: SWNS) Over the years, British society has followed in Louis' wake and taken on politeness as something of a national pastime. However, according to one expert, such well-intentioned politeness often backfires spectacularly when visiting Spain. What might sound respectful in English can actually come across as confusing, overly complicated, or even sarcastic when translated into Spanish. The problem creates uncomfortable situations that could have easily been avoided. According to James Smith from Learn Spanish with James , who has spent over a decade teaching Spanish and living across Spain, Argentina, and Costa Rica, the issue stems from a fundamental cultural misunderstanding. 'British tourists think they're being respectful by using elaborate politeness, but Spanish culture values directness. What we consider courteous can actually make Spanish speakers uncomfortable because it sounds unnatural and forced," he explained. James reveals why British-style politeness creates problems abroad and shares the simple phrases that actually work. Spanish culture operates on a completely different politeness system from Britain. While Brits soften requests with phrases like 'I'm terribly sorry to bother you' or 'Would it be at all possible', Spanish speakers prefer clear, direct communication. 'In Spain, being direct is respectful, not rude. When you ask for something clearly and simply, you're showing consideration for the other person's time. But when British tourists translate their elaborate politeness word-for-word, it creates confusion," James said. The disconnect goes deeper than language. Spanish politeness exists, but it's expressed through tone, body language, and simple courtesies like 'por favour' and 'gracias' rather than lengthy verbal gymnastics. 'I've watched British tourists tie themselves in knots trying to be polite, and the Spanish person just looks bewildered. They're wondering why this person is apologising so much for a simple request," James continued. Common British phrases become linguistic disasters when directly translated. 'Sorry to bother you, but would you mind if I asked where the toilet is?' becomes an awkward mouthful that sounds theatrical to Spanish ears. James continued: 'The phrase 'would you mind' doesn't really exist in Spanish the way we use it. You end up with these clunky translations that make you sound like you're performing Shakespeare in a café.' Another frequent mistake involves over-apologising. British tourists often begin every interaction with 'I'm terribly sorry' or some variation of it, which translates to unnecessarily dramatic apologies that confuse Spanish speakers. James added: 'Spanish people start wondering what you've done wrong when you apologise before asking a simple question. They're thinking 'Why is this person so sorry about wanting directions?'' James offers some tips on how to interact properly in certain social situations when you're in Spain: Ordering food and drinks British way: 'Would it be possible to have a coffee, if that's not too much trouble?' Spanish way: 'Un café, por favour' (A coffee, please) Asking for directions British way: 'Sorry to bother you, but would you mind telling me where the station is?' Spanish way: '¿Dónde está la estación?' (Where is the station?) Getting someone's attention British way: 'Excuse me, I'm terribly sorry to interrupt…' Spanish way: 'Disculpe' (Excuse me) Making requests in shops British way: 'Would you mind if I had a look at that, please?' Spanish way: 'Ese, por favour' (That one, please) - while pointing to the item
