What a spectacular fall from grace, for what was once a great company. Reputation now in tatters. Great shame.

What results? They have been postponed.

[g2theary] 28/9/2021 10:20

Nasty drop I'm still holding off here can't see the results being any good :/

Thought my timing was not too bad with the 1k GOG shares last week...... wrong again! Fortunately it is not a costly exercise for me, sold out @921p this morning for a tiny loss.

The fine is the main question. How much will GOG pay... 25m + what... @Chester, yes with DfT. but then again, that relationship was bound to go south given the amount of negative reviews all their train services were getting. I cant think of one train operator which has continued a train service after their contract has expired, especially ones that are as big as Southern & GTR. There is a reason why SGC & NEX removed operating trains from their portfolio. Its a dud business. Share price has factored that in hence why we were neck and neck with SGC. but then the fine, thats what hasnt been factored in.

It's not the £25m it's the lost partnership trust between GOG and Government Transport. A good mutually beneficial deal will now be checked, checked and double checked. If in doubt try someone new. I am out again until i get an understanding of how much the damage to reputation will be. GLA

25m they have to pay back, could mean no divi...

[robertball] 28/9/2021 08:06

Well it's vulnerable now

[linton5] 28/9/2021 08:01

Yip that’s a shocker

[chester9] 28/9/2021 07:32

RNS is a bit of a disaster. Sorry we have not been very honest but we are paying it back. We have got rid of the 1 man that was at fault. Now all will be fine. This is BOD incompetence and the share price will hurt. GLA

Qtrly bus stats to be released tomorrow

[hawfinch] 24/9/2021 17:32

Think the rise may be somewhat attributable to the petrol concern we are currently facing.

Dipped my toe in after the NEX/SGC merger news on Tuesday as GOG should be the next takeover/merger target.

That bid from NEX has potentially saved GOG in the short-term. Market is realising SGC can never be 50m+ more in MC than GOG, the gap needs to be closed. Also national bus stats out tomorrow.

[livewireplus] 21/9/2021 13:20

Try getting round Birmingham with the relevant bus app - you'll end up with a nervous breakdown after a couple of weeks. I did query some examples with NEX as it applied to their buses - but the reply was basically it is not their problem as the app isn't theirs.

[chester9] 21/9/2021 11:38

Yes GOG 8.60 and NEX 2.20 last week. The trend had to turn. NEX management are a really good team and GOG at a third of original pre pandemic value? I have taken the optimistic view that COVID worst is over. That said footfall to big city centres is still tough. Birmingham, London, Manchester, Glasgow all down 30% on 2019. Never use last year it's nonsense on nonsense. Unlike many on This app I use buses to get around sometimes. With bus apps it's easy. Observationally the school kids are back in numbers but central London only slowly improving. I was always coming back at these prices but I may be too early we will see. GLA

Seems as if ur back in chester

[chester9] 21/9/2021 08:25

It would seem people had some prior knowledge. Never happens, of course not.

[hawfinch] 21/9/2021 08:16

FGP to go in for GOG...?

[chester9] 20/9/2021 14:55

It could be FY results on 30th but something good happening?
