Hadn't noticed but yesterdays biggish sell has been published

09:26:06 115.00 100,000 Sell*

Won't speculate as to what or why but does explain where Berenger picked up some from, as superg mentioned new market makers need to sell as well as buy but would suggest the selling they do is behind the scenes to their buyer?

Isn't it good to know the Government are going to spend £50 billion plus on ONE project - HS2 - for a couple of thousand businessmen a day while the rest of the network is 3rd world.

How many foreign visitors will ever see HS2 but will go home having experienced our overcrowded routes.

'Rolling stock in the UK is more than 25 years old on average, so there is an urgent need to update equipment. UK rail operators will procure £35 billion of new equipment and services over the next 15 years'

£50 billion v £35 billion. Ridiculous.

Chill

Yes odd that some content was allowed an no such content imo would make it on the AIM.

Shavian - your good deed could have turned out badly. With a Loglorry mentality, had the cup handle broken and spilled tea into his crotch he would have tried to sue you for the tea being too hot.

2D materials mentioned here. UK GOV has a plan. Aimo. Best ellis

"Global demand for lightweight structures is growing exponentially."

"Led by the transport sector, investment opportunities for lightweight materials is worth a potential £32.2 billion over the next four years, with the global market projected to expand to £138 billion by 2021.

Reasons to invest in lightweight structures include:

A range of materials

The UK lightweight structures industry includes light alloys, graphene, 2D materials, technical textiles, materials for demanding environments and coatings

A variety of sectors

These materials have huge potential in sectors, such as transport, including aerospace (worth £18.6 billion by 2022), automotive (worth £13.1 billion by 2022) and rail (worth £591 million by 2021)"

"UK railways are entering a new golden age.

National rail infrastructure is currently estimated to be worth £88 billion. Rail operators will invest more than £35 billion in new services and equipment over the next 15 years – a supply chain expansion of 140%.

Reasons to invest in rail include:

Upgrading rolling stock

Rolling stock in the UK is more than 25 years old on average, so there is an urgent need to update equipment. UK rail operators will procure £35 billion of new equipment and services over the next 15 years

Significant demand

The UK currently imports over £600 million worth of rolling stock from outside the EU alone, providing a significant market opportunity

Major rail projects

Several major rail projects are underway in the UK. These include HS2, Europe’s largest infrastructure project, Crossrail and Transport for the North. These projects represent a vast supply chain opportunity for rail component producers"

"I’m sure there’s a parable in there for us somewhere" - Shavian

I think this is an important omen. What did you do with the tea when you approached the driver? Did you read the leaves after you poured it over him?

"PUBLIC RELEASE: 3-AUG-2017

Institute of Railway Research takes key role in £92 million rail tech network

UNIVERSITY OF HUDDERSFIELD

"THE NEW CENTRE WILL FORM PART OF THE UK RAILWAY RESEARCH AND INNOVATION NETWORK."

"THE Institute of Railway Research (IRR) at the University of Huddersfield is to play a key role in a £92 million network aimed at establishing the UK as a world leader in rail technology.

Experts at the IRR, working with other universities and major manufacturers, will develop rolling stock that lasts longer, is more energy efficient and is less costly to maintain, leading to major environmental and economic gains.

Research funding of almost £30 million will flow into the IRR. "It's the largest contract that we have had so far and will lead to a real step change in our capabilities," said its Director, Professor Simon Iwnicki.

The Institute already has state-of-the-art facilities, including a £4.5 million test rig that is unique in Europe. But now it will expand further, enabling larger and more diverse railway vehicle system components to be delivered to the IRR for research and testing. New facilities will include an extended range of full-scale advanced test rigs to accelerate the adoption of new technology for the next generation of rolling stock.

The funding comes via the newly-announced UK Railway Research and Innovation Network (UKRRIN), in which University of Huddersfield is a partner. Following a bid led by the University of Birmingham, UKRRIN has been awarded £28.1 million from the UK Research Partnership Investment Fund and this is boosted by £64 million of support from 17 industrial partners including Alstom, Siemens and Bombardier Transportation.

UKRRIN will consist of three linked world-class centres of excellence, which share the total £92 million funding. One is the IRR at Huddersfield, which will be the home of a new Rolling Stock Innovation Centre. With contributions from specialists at the University of Newcastle and from Loughborough University, it will focus on high value rolling stock systems, whole life asset optimisation and through-life management, and energy management."

G bot - I don't know what he said as I filtered him a while ago. My filter list does not necessarily include negative posters but it filters posters who talk out of their backsides. It results in a much more pleasant BB reading.

[cheek212] 29/11/2018 09:01

Was hoping for a slightly more exciting RNS today, but shouldn't be impatient!!

We had a delivery of logs in nets yesterday, which arrived on - you guessed it - a Loglorry. The delivery driver turned out to be one of the most unhelpful people I’ve met in a long while. ‘I’m only authorised for kerbside delivery’ ‘Sorry, can’t help you in with them, I’ve got a bad back, my insurance won’t cover me’ etc etc.

So I carted them in myself in the rain, net by net. I then noticed that the loglorry was still there, with the driver skulking behind it, trying to keep out of my way. He eventually admitted that his lorry had just broken down and would not start. He was still there waiting for the mechanic hours later, so we took Mr Loglorry a cup of tea.

I’m sure there’s a parable in there for us somewhere, or at least an omen.

I agree that the burn rate at HAYD is out of control against short term revenues.

Enough has been said regarding the FGR Director payments. Amazing the FGR headline yesterday against the actual facts. No AIM Nomad would approve that announcement...surely??

[ellissj] 29/11/2018 08:49

Nearly 2 weeks since #bubblebath ? :) best ellis

[chillpill] 29/11/2018 08:42

I looked at Haydale and First Graphene a few weeks ago on their cash position. Both need cash by the end of Q1 2019.

FGR have said that will quote on AIM this year which implies a fund raise in next couple of weeks.

"McLaren Automotive opens new carbon fiber innovation and production center"

"McLaren Composites Technology Centre (MCTC) will focus on innovating lightweight carbon fiber and composites for improved energy efficiencies in automobiles."

News Post: 11/19/2018

EDITED BY SCOTT FRANCIS
Senior Editor, CompositesWorld

"McLaren Automotive (Woking, UK) announced on Nov. 14 the official opening of its new McLaren Composites Technology Centre (MCTC) in Yorkshire, England. The opening was witnessed by TRH The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and HRH Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, the Crown Prince of the Kingdom of Bahrain along with representatives from Sheffield and Rotherham Councils, senior local stakeholders and MCTC employees.

The Centre ;aims to be a world-leader in innovating lightweight carbon fiber and composites that will work together with future powertrain development to save weight and produce improved energy efficiencies. Prototyping has already begun on innovating McLaren’s next generation of lightweight carbon fiber tubs for its sportscars and supercars.

After completing trial tubs in 2019 and once fully operational in 2020, McLaren says the MCTC will create over 200 direct jobs and produce carbon fiber tubs that will be sent to the McLaren Production Centre (MPC, Woking, Surrey) for hand assembly into cars, over 90%of which are then exported to markets worldwide"

morning all. Can I please suggest that the 30 posters that liked my post last night asking sandwich to have a look at himself. Please Note his response this morning! Please spend the minute that it takes to filter the man he is poison . And adds nothing

[loglorry1] 29/11/2018 08:35

@luckyorange Haydale are in a very precarious financial position.

Today's order was not material. Inks are about 10pc Graphene eg 100g/L

The order was about 10kg of Graphene. At normal prices of around $200/kg that's $2k worth of Graphene plus obviously a good markup for the ink IP.

It would have been a big vote of confidence if VRS had supplied the Graphene mind you.

[cheek212] 29/11/2018 08:33

Guess which stock is my only red one today!!!!! Low volumes are not helping our share price - hopefully it will pick up later.
