These were £8.50 12 years ago Once the yank side is disposed of I can see £1 plus again.

Coronavirus: Boris Johnson to RELAX train and bus restrictions https://mol.im/a/8529383

Public transport is exactly that To draw people away from the one car one driver scenario.a six month virus is not going to radically change workers travel habits.come back to me in six months time and tell me everyone is working from home and playing with their children then

[kmreid] 12/7/2020 17:20

Did I say that transport has no purpose? No. However, I think we will see significantly less passenger numbers on main train routes in future. FGP's trains are going to city centres, carrying primarily white-collar service-sector/finance/tech workers who can afford the exorbitant ticket prices. People who work in other sectors (e.g.: manufacturing, education and agriculture) typically work locally to where they live, or are taking the car/bus to the factory/school where they work. That's my analysis, and why I'm not invested in FGP.

Nonsense you’re talking purely of office workers and what percentage of the working population is that?there would be a domino effect on employment if everyone stayed at home.its fact transport has always had a purpose in supporting the working population

[kmreid] 12/7/2020 16:34

Lazy people will be lazy in the office or at home. Sitting blabbering in a meeting room isn't "effort". WFH makes employees happier and more productive because they: are less tired, have more money, spend more time with their kids. WFH also saves employers money because they don't have to rent massive expensive office buildings. It's a win-win all round, and technophobe boomer employers have finally realised it. Get on board or get left behind.

Working from home won’t last You don’t get anywhere near the effort You would get in a working environment Undervalued

[waikenchan] 12/7/2020 14:11

Who are they transporting, volumes will pick up, but they will not be anything near pre covid as people work from home. Goverment subsidiaries aren't going to last forever or be as generous. Depends how you value the assets - future cash flows / returns on their assets are likely to subdued.

[the canadian mounted] 11/7/2020 21:01

It’s fundamentals are it’s ability to Service the public needs in way of providing transportation. It’s assets outweigh its debt

[waikenchan] 11/7/2020 17:32

The market doesn't act on fundamentals,only sentiment. Unfortunately for first group it has practically neither going for these days.
