And to provide a loose comparison (difficult when the three companies have totally different accounting years), Arriva Northumbria's post-tax profit for 2015 was just £1.2 million! Go North East's was £6.5 million for 14/15. 15/16 haven't appeared on the Companies House website, yet (they should be on in the next few weeks, though). So based on all this, I would suggest the the actual facts support the notion that Stagecoach do very well out of Tyne and Wear!
