Go-Ahead Group PLC - Newcastle-based bus and train operator - Plans on Thursday to release its delayed results for the financial year that ended July 3 last year. At that point, Go-Ahead will ask for the suspension of trading of its shares and corporate bonds to be lifted. The suspension was imposed because the company missed the deadline for filing its accounts. The delay was to allow auditors Deloitte to consider the implications of a review of the London & South Eastern Railway franchise, operated by Go-Ahead. The UK government found that "serious errors" were made by LSER in its dealings with the Department for Transport over several years. Go-Ahead apologised for "failing to notify the DfT of certain overpayments or monies due to the DfT", but the government is considering enforcement action, including a financial penalty.
