Re this afternoons RNS: Interesting conversion price

"The conversion price is 67.5p per share which represents a premium of 13.4% to the closing mid-market price of 59.5p per Ordinary Share on 20 December 2007."

... and the source...

"The Placing of £250,000 of Loan Notes has been subscribed wholly by Ludgate
Investments Limited ("Ludgate"), a company of which John Gunn, Chairman of
Rotala, is deputy chairman and in which he has a shareholding interest."

Further opportunities for ROL to take advantage of?:

Bus and rail firm Go Ahead said it was reviewing options for its Midlands business after the division failed to meet targets.

... and good news for early next year with ROL winning £1.1m in new contracts together with an extra £960K of short term work for an existing major customer....

.... is anyone else still holding this or have I returned to talking to myself again ...?

Nice to have it confirmed that they've moved into month by month
profitability at the end of the accounting period.

not quite Brum ..... but a bus shelter story....:

The ambitious air-conditioned bus shelter project has started taking shape in Dubai, but commuters say they are too small to accommodate the increasing numbers of commuters.



Dubai is the first city in the world to offer the luxury of air-conditioned bus shelters for passengers. The aim is to lure people into using public transport, and ease the pressure on its crowded roads.

Kings Ferry T/O yesterday by NEX passed many by.

Nice to see ROL heading up .... perhaps all the new drivers joining them are hoovering up the stock ;-)

Only a small purchase (18,037 shares @55p) by Nicholas Kennedy (Non-executive Director) - but at least a 'positive' transaction.

They seem to be getting the branding sorted out better now..... ads for drivers in local press have Central Connect logo .... and the double-deckers now seem to be in white with Central Connect logo.... (they'll need to clean the outside of them more often than TWM otherwise white will show the dirt up nicely).

Hadn't looked at the web site recently since I posted the negative critisism of it a few months back. Now it looks very good for a company of this size.

From web site it appears significant shareholders (i.e >3%) hold 54% of shares.
Also see John Gunn (Non-executive Director and Chairman) is also a director of Corac Group plc - which is quite an interesting company as regards risk/reward prospects. Also the website is now under construction for that part of their operation. The website is already running.

Chester .... thanks for link.... Noticed they've been advertising regularly in the local press over past few weeks for bus drivers...

DM-this is making nice and steady progress.

Equity Development have produced a report on the company which I think you can view on their website- www.equitydevelopment.co.uk -which suggests a conservative dcf fair value of 79p per share.

Happy reading

In a pilot scheme, Travel West Midland passengers using the busy 377 route between Walsall and Sutton Coldfield will be offered vouchers if their journey is delayed by more than 15 minutes.

Well, as no one appears to be here except me then I'll amuse myself with other busses:

A giant pumpkin weighing 1,500 pounds has been dropped from 100 feet in the air onto a bus

Well, given lack of any other posters recently on this thread, then can I presume I'm the only one still holding ROL stock?

[don muang] 08/10/2007 14:20

'Nice' to see the Centro contracts (or extensions of).
ROL have been advertising regularly in local papers for drivers over the last month - so either there's a severe shortage of them in the West Mids or they need quite a few of 'em.

Foreign language students visiting the Isle of Wight are to be taught how to queue for buses. It comes after Southern Vectis, a local bus company, received complaints about students pushing past the queue.

Don,

Yes I remember the Bull Ring Bus Station well!! I used to have to catch the 130, 131 or 132 back to either Hasbury or Halesowen back WMPTE days....
I also remember those red leather seated fleetlines, you used to slide off the seat when going around a corner....
