Nice little rise on the close, to up 1.9p to 119.3p close, only a couple of p for me to be in profit.

Must have been in the auction?

Close to a breakout here - huge gap up.

Trading update in 4 weeks time.

Sanks, don't hold it too hard, it might drop off through lack of oxygen before 9p comes

[burkey1942] 03/9/2013 19:33

Long time no see, sanks. Have you been on your holibobs?
I reckon that lovely bowl is about to develop a horrible crack ..... just about the time the directors feel they need a bit more cash and those gullible shareholders are ripe for the plucking.

Brought a few months back and made my profit was thinking of staying longer but feel this balance sheet is too weak and that they may need other rights issue.

Plus I felt that the rights issue should ha e been larger and more spend of the pay down of the debt
Think we see a lot of up and downs with this stock so will buy into again on lows.

[sanks] 03/9/2013 14:18

I'm still waiting for 9p.
Sheila told me to hold me nobbler till it hits single digits.

Hope this helps

Interesting D M article, I can't help thinking the train operators want as many trains as possible, but rail track just can't keep the tracks open 100% of the time.

In the old days of BR they would have just reduced the number of trains until those that did run were pretty reliable, on time keeping. The fact that would mean many less passengers could physically get onto rush hour trains would not matter to BR.

For airlines, more passengers just means buy a couple more planes buy a take off and landing slots and thousands more air passengers can travel

If FGP or any other train operators could just move their trains along imaginary elevated magnetic air spaces a few hundred feet in the air, end of problem

A high speed train service on the HS2 route is long overdue. People are so backward to object IMO....

[cockneyrebel] 28/8/2013 14:49

Firming up nice, positive by the close?

CR

HS2 on the verge of being dumped while the gov put big investment into existing railways instead imo - massive leap for the likes of FGP on that news imo.

High oil price is a temporary spike imo - noise - traders just jump on anything oil related when you get these middle east tensions.

Time to buy is amid the noise imo.

CR

[don777] 28/8/2013 10:59

I think the high oil price might affect FGP's profit.

[cockneyrebel] 27/8/2013 08:25

Looks like everyone dumping on HS2 and want it killed for investment elsewhere on transport - must be good news for FGP imo.

True. The point was the OFT don't seem to want to be obstructive re future disposals.

[winston270] 23/8/2013 22:34

MIATA, First had already sold the business on anyway, it would be Rotala's problem to dispose of it if it hadn't been cleared

[miata] 23/8/2013 21:33

OFT clears sale of the bus business of FirstGroup in Redditch and Kidderminster to the Diamond Bus Co.

[winston270] 23/8/2013 21:27

I hope so, but haven't seen anything more about possible bids since

[cockneyrebel] 23/8/2013 11:56

JP Morgan taken 5%+

160p bid rumours true?

CR

[cockneyrebel] 22/8/2013 11:15

Great trendline to buy on imo:



Huge bowl too:
