22 The Stagecoach difference  Comparative fares data extracted from TAS National Fares Survey The tables compare urban single fare levels by bus operator ownership.

23 The Stagecoach difference Operational performanceCustomer service  Figures used refer to the measure of train punctuality – also known as PPM (public performance measure) – which is commonly used throughout Europe. For long distance operators, such as East Midlands Trains, this shows the percentage of trains arriving within ten minutes of timetabled arrival at final destination. London and south east operators (including South Western Trains), and regional operators show the percentage arriving within five minutes of the timetabled arrival. data covers the period 3 May 2009 to 1 May National Rail average is for all franchised train operating companies.  Data extracted from National Passenger Survey, Spring Wave Percentages are for overall satisfaction The National Passenger Survey (NPS) is conducted twice a year from a representative sample of passenger journeys across the UK. It surveys passengers’ overall satisfaction and satisfaction with 30 individual aspects of service for each individual train operating company (TOC). Passenger ratings are totalled for all TOCs across the country to provide a National Rail average.

36 Definitions  Like-for-like amounts are derived, on a constant currency basis, by comparing the relevant year-to-date amount with the equivalent prior year period for those businesses and individual operating units that have been part of the Group throughout both periods.  Operating profit for a particular business unit or division within the Group refers to profit before net finance income/charges, taxation, intangible asset expenses, exceptional items and restructuring costs.  Operating margin for a particular business unit or division within the Group means operating profit as a percentage of revenue.  Exceptional items means items which individually or, if of a similar type, in aggregate need to be disclosed by virtue of their nature, size or incidence in order to allow a proper understanding of the underlying financial performance of the Group.  Gross debt is borrowings as reported on the consolidated balance sheet, adjusted to exclude accrued interest, deferred gains on derivatives and the effect of fair value hedges on the carrying value of borrowings, and to include the effect of foreign exchange derivatives that synthetically convert an element of borrowings from one currency to another.  Net debt (or net funds) is the net of cash and gross debt.
