Spot on bookbroker regarding network rail workers.
The amount you see just standing about, why send two men to do a two man job when you can send 20. Can you imagine the mess if Corbyn gets in, huge wage bills paid by the tax payer for people who call it a job by simply turning up.

Shareholders getting pretty stung today.

I want to see this company get out of rail completely, it generates a large amount of revenue for the most pathetic return to the bottom, they should give two fingers to UK Rail, it is just a bottomless pit to hell! If Grayling had said no more rail bids, the market would have sighed and roared with euphoria, HS2 a waste of money, and causing untold misery for those in its path!!

Probaly will be, but this must bottom somewhere.

To be honest it might be a blessing for SGC to have the East Coast Franchise terminated, it is like a mill stone around their neck as it stands, the line is a poisoned chalice, shame they ever bid on it, but the sooner they are out of it the better. Corbyn thinks railways would be better off nationalised, when did any state run organisation operate effectively, brought this country to its knees in the seventies!

Eastbourne - it provides some more clarity on the East Coast issue, seems more capital investment being accounted for, rail franchises are far too complex quite honestly, and if the Govt. will not incentivise the rail operators in a favourable light, then the taxpayer should friggin well pay for the network, we all know where that ends up, strikes, poor service through inefficiency like everything else the public sector is involved in! I detest politics, politicians and anything connected to the business, spongers and vultures spring to light!

Stay short.

So is the news good for Stagecoach or bad ?

BBC reporting inaccurate versus actual RNS

Cut the dividend, Martin Griffiths is talking this company up and the share price is hitting new lows, they grossly overpaid for the East Coast Line, and to placate Souter and his sister Griffiths is doing a classic TalkTalk move by feathering the major shareholders pockets with generous payouts, small shareholders will get hammered by this policy. The company and the Govt. are dragging their heels, we need a re-negotiation on the franchise, particularly now that one of the largest Network Rail contractor is screwed, the state will pick up the tab, but now improvements will be delayed even further, coupled with the fact East Midlands Railways is a mess! Why does this company bother with rail franchises, it hardly makes a bean on them these days!!!

Its been a tough few days.

Ex dividend date now come and gone. Will enjoy in early March.

Close to 52 week low of 154.30p.

Next dividend will be around 8p going ex dividend end of August 2018.

Between then and now should see saw between 140p and 180p.

[bookbroker] 25/1/2018 17:00

This company needs the Govt. to clarify what recompense it is going to make to rail operators for not improving the network as they stated as terms of the contract between them all, this is making life very difficult for SGC. and it is patently unacceptable for shareholders and rail users!

[bookbroker] 23/1/2018 17:30

Time we had some sort of statement here, this company has a lot of issues on its plate right now, issues with network maintenance after demise of Carillion, East Midlands issues like fire at Nottingham, weather always, let’s have a trading update please!!!!!

[bookbroker] 10/1/2018 09:03

What is the problem with this company, we had an improvement in performance at the last statement, we are seeing a resolution in the pipeline to the East Coast discussions with the Govt., although the proof will be in the pudding, so what is the drag here? Is it the US cold snap, surrounding poor public persona of the railway industry, or just general weak sentiment. Maybe growth is hard to achieve on a consistent basis, but then these companies are paying far too much for the franchises, there is consistent underinvestment by Network Rail, travelled a fair bit on the train late last year, seems to be poor productivity judging by the attitude of the men in high vis vests with shovels in their hands!
