National Express says year expectations unchanged

LONDON (Reuters) - Bus and train operator National Express Group (NEX.L) said its full-year performance would meet management expectations, given strong growth across all its businesses.

"The travel industry is not immune to an economic slowdown and we are seeing evidence of consumers becoming increasingly focussed on securing the best value for money they can," Chief Executive Richard Bowker said in a statement on Friday.

National Express also said it was to end its Dot2Dot start-up operation.
