The Perth , Scotland-based company said underlying pre-tax profit rose 38% to £162m in the 12 months to 30 April. Revenues grew by 12% to £1.5bn.

News of the strong results pushed Stagecoach's shares up by 5.69%.

"We consider this to be a very strong set of figures," said analysts at Deutsche Bank.

"UK Bus in particular is very strong," they continued. "Once the new rail franchises bed down, we would see a similar story of profits growth developing once again in rail."
