Look beyond the headlines, says WSR Chairman as £800k loss posted

摘要

DESPITE AN £807,909 trading loss on a £3.2m turnover, West Somerset Railway Chairman Jonathan Jones-Pratt said: "We've got a good railway. We are rebuilding the cash reserves and we're able to demonstrate, through our profit and loss accounts and through our management accounts that we produce monthly, that we have a sustainable, viable business." He added: "While the financial headlines for the past 15 months make unacceptable reading, the situation would have been worse had it not been for the visit of A3 60103 Flying Scotsman. The truth is that the company has been in decline for some time, and this is very evident in these results."
