Still got a limit sell of 148.7 (I don't know why the extra .7) and yesterday it looked like the down turn was over and it was shooting past 125p

Today a different story

Ho hum

Robbo - mate, you're STILL here? Dear god. Listen to Sanks and you might start to understand. It's for you his bell-end tolls.

No brainer this one Public transport hugely burst in at the seems in the uk Great results coming out USA not only accelerating out of the recession so we can expect to see a vast improvement in the numbers for greyhound The school bus performs better in the second half of the year I fully expect the results to include the wording Above expectation Return of dividend Great performance from both uk and USA Return to highest margins Reduced debt

When the figures are released In a few weeks and fgp are now shown to be in a positive direction and returning dividends to shareholders then does anyone see them as a potential takeover target and if so who do you think would be the likely bidders

Travel around London frequently and mainly off peak the past two months I have never seen the trains so busy Good for the results due next early next month

Brown in speech tonight bad news for first group.

Cap of inflation only rise in rail fairs(instead of RPI + 1%) announced today by Gov will not help FGP share price

Perhaps it would be better not to win Scotrail??????

[specul82] 05/9/2014 10:48

The decision on the scot rail franchise is due to be announced in the next few weeks Fgp have invested heavily and continually surpassed targets from the regulators I am sure this will help in decision making for the renewal of this franchise I reckon we will see rise in the share price into the 140 region before the end of the month Exciting times ahead more upside chances as there is a very much reduced downside risk Worst case scenario loose all the rail franchises then fgp would have to sell the USA division I reckonTwo or more franchises will see a return of the upward trend

..but they will come back begging to shareholders to pay off a portion of debt again in the not so distant future!!...thats why Sheila and her fit birds who analysed this stock last night, told me to put in buy orders from 4p to 9p respectively.

FGP are short listed for franchise for North Pennine Railway

I assume this is why we had the great rise today

[aspers] 20/8/2014 10:48

Taken my profits.......watch it motor now :-(

[robertfaulkner] 20/8/2014 10:19

Now up over 4%, what's up?

[robertfaulkner] 20/8/2014 08:30

Nice little rise today, well through 120p up over 3%???????

[robertfaulkner] 18/8/2014 19:11

Oh dear, can't seem to get to 120p

[robertfaulkner] 06/8/2014 08:54

Share price down to 116p

S..t

Don't know why it hit 120p let alone 116p

When it was nealy 142p(June '14) I had a sell limit of 148.7p

Ho Hum

every small and mid cap stock i know has had the same Chart pattern in recent weeks. so it's not stock specific in my opinion (unless the market thinks there will be fewer bus rides due to sanctions on Russia)

[sanks] 05/8/2014 17:11

Its because its heading for my buy target at 9p,7p & 5p respectively...now that most of the sheep have been trapped in this whilst it was looking stable at 1.30'ish, watch out for the crash, bang, whollop towards 70p..then 9p...Sheila told me last night.

Yes the price is down to allow a big buyer to get in at 120 then we will see a rapid return to 145 possibly bouncing off if twice before hitting 170 Don't worry my friend there is plenty opportunity to make money from this in the very near futurePs in chart terms we have hit double bottom around the 120 mark

[ukwang] 05/8/2014 14:03

the share price down to 120 p, any news? why?
thanks.

[robertfaulkner] 19/7/2014 14:57

Hong Kong MTR company have won running Cross Rail, wouldn't they like to buy FGP with the proceeds?????

[specul82] 18/7/2014 08:43

1 million extra passengers in the next four weeks on firstscotrail and firstbus due to the commonwealth games Should add a nice bonus to the profits this quarter
