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.

Hidden Alexander Isak transfer clause that could complicate Liverpool move further
Alexander Isak has broken his silence after becoming embroiled in a transfer saga involving Liverpool, with Newcastle issuing a response, though one contractual clause could further complicate things Newcastle's Alexander Isak has broken his silence as his Liverpool transfer saga continues. Though a clause in the 25-year-old's contract concerning former club Real Sociedad could throw yet another spanner into the works. The Swedish striker made it clear last month that he wanted to explore his options away from St James' Park, and while the Reds did submit a £110million bid, this fell well below Newcastle's valuation. A stalemate has since been met, with Isak refusing to play for the club, and the Magpies insisting he is not for sale and will remain on Tyneside unless an adequate offer is made. On Tuesday, Isak spoke for the first time since the drama unfolded, explaining his absence from the Professional Footballers' Association's awards gala. Newcastle issued a telling reply, as the possibility of an agreement with Liverpool remains up in the air, though a sell-on clause inserted into the 25-year-old's contract could further complicate matters. Isak's statement was damning. In light of this increasingly noxious disagreement, the star striker, who has been training away from Newcastle's first team, claimed promises had been broken. "I've kept quiet for a long time while others have spoken," wrote Isak. "That silence has allowed people to push their own version of events, even though they know it doesn't reflect what was really said and agreed behind closed doors. "The reality is that promises were made and the club has known my position for a long time. To now act as if these issues are only emerging is misleading. "When promises are broken and trust is lost, the relationship can't continue. That's where things are for me right now - and why change is in the best interests of everyone, not just myself." Yet, a deal for Isak would be complicated. The Reds' £110m package was swiftly rebuked, and it is thought that Isak is valued at a whopping £150m. Nevertheless, it seems a British record transfer fee is what it would take to secure his services. Adding further complications is a sell-on clause that was inserted in Isak's deal when he moved to Newcastle from Real Sociedad in 2022. The Swede arrived in England for a fee of £63m, and a 10 per cent capital gains clause was attached to his deal, as per the Athletic. This clause would see the Spanish side receive that percentage of any profits made from the future sale of Isak. Should he be sold for £150m, for example, this would see a sum of £8.7m go to Spain. Such a stipulation could cause Newcastle to demand an even higher price for Isak, and Liverpool could have to pay extra to ensure the Magpies receive a final sum they are satisfied with. As their reply to Isak's statement suggests, Newcastle themselves do not see a deal being completed this window. It read: "We are clear in response that Alex remains under contract and that no commitment has ever been made by a club official that Alex can leave Newcastle United this summer. We want to keep our best players, but we also understand players have their own wishes and we listen to their views. "As explained to Alex and his representatives, we must always take into consideration the best interests of Newcastle United, the team and our supporters in all decisions and we have been clear that the conditions of a sale this summer have not transpired. "We do not foresee those conditions being met. This is a proud football club with proud traditions and we strive to retain our family feel. Alex remains part of our family and will be welcomed back when he is ready to rejoin his team-mates." Join our new WhatsApp community and receive your daily dose of Mirror Football content.

Brit mum's holiday nightmare as she's 'bitten by 100 mosquitoes' at 5 star hotel
Single mum Keeley Smith, 49, splashed out £4,500 on a swanky hotel in Cape Verde with her daughter Lola, 14, and friend Kate - but arrived to find accommodation "worse than Fawlty Towers" A single mum claims she was bitten '100 times' on her five-star TUI holiday as her room was infested with mosquitos. Keeley Smith, 49, spent 11 days at the 'appalling' Cape Verde hotel with her 14-year-old daughter Lola and friend Kate earlier this month. Although the five-star package holiday cost a whopping £4,500 via TUI for the three of them, Keeley said the hotel was worse than Fawlty Towers - branding it "vile" and "dirty". She claims there were so many mosquitos in the room that TUI staff promised to fumigate - however she never saw it happen and bugs remained in the room. She was left needing antibiotics and hydrocortisone cream as many of her "100 bites" got infected. TUI confirmed they are in contact with the customer to "resolve the matter directly". Keeley, from Leeds, West Yorks, said: "After the first day I was so badly bitten, I looked like I had leprosy. "But when I walked around the complex - I realised all the other guests were covered in bites like me. "There was a Spanish woman shouting at the reception, 'I cannot sleep in my room, there are cockroaches crawling over me, there are mosquitos everywhere, I'm complaining every day, why won't you do something?' "There was a thick cloud of mosquitos swarming at our door every time we went in and out. As for the room itself - it was filthy. It was a dirty room. Even when we first checked in, there were suncream footprints still on the floor. "It was vile. You were in the shower and there were mosquitos in the shower with you, it was just awful. The toilet was filthy, the towels were unwashed. On the front bath panel there was a squashed dead mosquito - a big one. "After I complained, the TUI rep told me they would do a deep clean and a fumigation. But that mosquito was still there when we left. "But most of the staff were rude, they could not be bothered. Even the food was appalling. My daughter eats for England - I've never seen her eat less. "At breakfast, they had run out of Nutella - the dispenser was empty, so I asked if they had any more. A member of staff came back with a bread knife, cut the plastic bottle in half and handed it to my daughter with a spoon. It was just like Fawlty Towers, honestly, it was awful." Since she got home, Keeley has been prescribed a double dose of antibiotics, antihistamines and hydrocortisone cream for serious skin infections. Keeley said: "We travel a lot. I fully expect to get a few bites in a foreign country. But the level of mosquitos in that room - you needed a hazmat suit. I work really hard. We love going on holiday. But I couldn't wait to get home." Other holidaymakers report experiencing similar in their TripAdvisor review of the hotel - warning about the mosquitos. One wrote: "Mosquitos... You will get bitten a lot, they water the garden at night and it brings them in. Bring anti mosquito spray, antihistamines and hydrocortisone cream." Another said on "Mosquitoes. There is so much mosquito. We sustained severe mosquito bites. The hotel may need to consider putting mosquito repellents and coils in the rooms." A third wrote: "The level of mosquitoes inside toilets and bars were ridiculous." TUI confirmed they are in contact with the customer to "resolve the matter directly".
