I sold one of my other holdings and topped up here. Bought another 552 shares and averaged down a bit.
Wise decision? We shall see.
I quite agree. In the past, I've used East Midlands Trains many times in the course of getting to & coming home from work, along with First Transpenine & Northern rail.
Of the 3, I much preferred the EM trains, they are very pleasing to the eye inside the carriage, and the train crew top notch. First were great when I was working at the weekend, as having a season ticket I always got a complimentary upgrade to first class between the boarding/alighting stations. And Northern Rail, well I only used them when I had to.
Tfl be fair, I only bought into Sgc because of the service I got on emt.
yes bit of a crazy morning, I had stop losses set at 1.22 which I altered when saw the auction prices going through
nodinero is right, service counts for nothing its all down to prices , and in a way, even though the markets may not see it, but what would be the point in having a contract if its a too risky gamble with potential of losing money

Scary start this morning. Seems to have recovered back to where it was so this end seems to be factored into the sp now.
I'm considering using this sp drop to add here.
Exactly.
I would understand it more of Stagecoach was running Northern Rail after the debacle there but they were not.
Very disappointing. Quality of service counts for nothing under this DOT
Well have to see if it tanks or rises because of this. Fingers crossed.
Get the tin hats out today !!!
That's why!

Well, I was expecting a dip at the least but not to this level. Very strange.
Absolutely no idea Mark. Considering the last RNS there is no reason for it.
I know it spiked on the back of it, and to be fair, I was expecting some retrace, that was why I swing traded it so I could get some freebies. As I say, I got back in at £1.60 and I was half expecting a bit more of a drop, but to £1.55 as an absolute maximum.
I just can't see any justification for it to have dropped to this level. £1.53 as a low point for this share in my view is about reasonabIe. I just hope there is some kind of correction tomorrow.
Cheers.

Why the big drop Trent?
Well here's the thing. I've had a bit of a soft spot for SGC for some time now, since my time working in Warrington and using East Midlands Trains to get to work.
I'd always been treated well by the on board train crew, who were always cheerful when dealing with me. Much more than beyond the corporate customer service BS. Plus they operate the bus services near where I live, and apart from the odd grumpy B'Stard, the same thing there too.
I have swing traded this one a couple of times to get some freebies but a good solid company this one in my view.
I did well here yesterday morning On the spike North at £1.66 to buy back again at tea time at £1.60 gaining another 66 extra free shares which I was happy with.
Until I saw today's drop to where we are now. Still. Win some, lose some.
Swing traded this one today. Got 66 free shares. Happy with that.
Few days. A small drop tomorrow perhaps due to divvi day?
Because we have a Government that's heavily weighted to trying to keep us in the EU. Any excuse will do.
With no deal how could there be a shortage of food to Ireland, surely it would not take much to agree a no tariff arrangment overnight and carry on as before.
Hope it settles.
The same to you too,Martin . And to my fellow SGC investors. A merry & peaceful Christmas to all, & a prosperous New year.
Thanks for very constructive answers which is not what we sometimes get on these blogs and wish you luck in your investing

Hi Vinfizz
As SGC are now soon to be a predominantly uk based company, the political turmoil here would be my guess as for why it's dropped.
I'm in to Lloyds & Marston's as well, again, those are both predominately I'm based too and it's the same story with them too.
