Neg Cuts Staff

摘要

In a pre-close trading update issued on December 17, National Express Group plc reported 'some impact of the weakening UK economy on our rail business'. Despite this, underlying passenger revenue growth at NX East Coast was 9.5% in the year to date, and 5.5% at NX East Anglia which was described as 'good'.rnFollowing a full review of support and back-office functions across all UK businesses, NEG had identified 'opportunities to reduce overall staffing levels'. Subject to consultation with the employees concerned, the cost-reduction proposals were expected to deliver annualised savings of over ￡15m.
