  For the disclosure requirements of IAS19 'Employee Benefits', the Railways Pension Scheme (RPS) and the Streamline    
  Pension Schemes are the only material defined benefit pension schemes operated by the Group. All other schemes are    
  accounted for as defined contribution.

  The scheme is administered in accordance with its trust deed, and is commonly known as a shared cost scheme, under    
  which the employer and employees are liable for the costs and any surplus or deficit arising under the scheme in the  
  proportion of 60:40 respectively. Eligible employees participate in three shared cost sections of the RPS, being the  
  Relayfast, Fastline and Jarvis Facilities sections. The latest triennial actuarial valuation of the RPS was as at 31  
  December 2007, and was undertaken by professionally qualified and independent actuaries. At that date the market      
  value of the assets was £398.4m and the average funding level was 101%.                                               
                                                                                                                        
  For the year ended 31 March 2009, employer contributions to the three Jarvis sections of the RPS were 17.22%, 16.82%  
  and 14.40% of pensionable pay for the Relayfast, Fastline and Jarvis Facilities sections respectively. The employer   
  contributions to the RPS were £2.7m in the year ended 31 March 2009 (2008: £2.9m).

  The schemes comprise the Streamline Pension Fund (SPF) and the Streamline Local Government Pension Scheme (SLG). The  
  latest triennial actuarial valuation for the SLG was as at 5 April 2007 and at that date the market value of the

  contribution rates for the SLG were maintained at 20% of pensionable salaries. In addition, special employer          
  contributions of £130,000 per annum are payable over a 14 year period from April 2009. The employer contributions     
  (including special employer contributions) to the SLG were £0.2m in the year ended 31 March 2009 (2008: £0.2m).       
                                                                                                                        
  The latest triennial actuarial valuation for the SPF was as at 5 April 2007 and at that date the market value of the

  The total employer contribution to the defined benefit pension schemes for the year ending 31 March 2010, including   
  special contributions, is estimated to be £3.8m.                                                                      
                                                                                                                        
  All Group defined benefit pension schemes are closed to new entrants, other than for new employees who qualify for    
  participation in the RPS and employees transferring from the public sector, where conditions are specified in the     
  terms of their transfer, who are admitted into the SLG. Other eligible new employees are offered participation in the 
  Group's defined contribution schemes.                                                                                 
                                                                                                                        
  Contributions made to defined contribution arrangements for other eligible Group employees are based on a pre         
  -determined percentage of individual salaries. Contributions by the Group into defined contribution schemes and non   
  -material defined benefit schemes are disclosed in Note 7.

  ** The expected return on scheme assets is based on the market expectations at the beginning of the year for returns

  For both the RPS and Streamline Schemes the mortality basis is in line with the basis used by the respective Trustees 
  at the last valuation. The Streamline schemes have adopted the 'PA92(C=2015)mc + 2 years' table for all members. The  
  RPS uses scheme specific assumptions based on industry experience.                                                    
  The life expectancies, for a male aged 65, implied by the mortality assumptions used are shown below.

  The expected long term rate of return for equity, property and bonds is based on the yield to redemption on 20 year fixed interest gilts of 4.04% (2008: 4.60%) plus an adjustment to reflect market expectations of the equity, property and bond asset        
  classes respectively. Cash comprises mainly of cash holdings and the expected long term rate of return reflects the current short term returns on such deposits. The expected return for each asset class was weighted based on the actual asset allocation, to 
  develop an overall expected long-term rate of return on assets assumption for the portfolio. The overall expected return is then reduced to allow for expected non-investment expenses and PPF levies in respect of the RPS.
