Heads up girls!

NB Guinness 0% is a remarkable success, tapping into a new market of customers who do NOT drink alcohol.

Today I took the train to Swansea on a DAY RETURN after 9:30am. TFW is all government owned and it's a simple journey with few stops so I bought my ticket on the platform, on the day. Then, out of curiosity, I checked with Trainline and could've saved 15%. So even if the whole GB rail network becomes Government owned, Trainline will still have my custom.

I was thinking the same thing! I found this but it doesn't sound negative to me : As of January 2026, Admiral Group has finalised the sale of its U.S. motor insurance business (Elephant Insurance) to J.C. Flowers & Co. to focus on its UK and European markets. Additionally, Admiral Pioneer partnered with Octopus EV for electric vehicle initiatives, and the company launched a safety campaign, "Your Ride, Your Rules," in the UK.

Yes people are drinking less alcohol -and I hear that the 0% Guinness is proving so popular, Diageo can't meet demand.

Thanks for that. It's what I've been thinking for ages anyway and would make a lot of sense.

In the two years+ of owning DGE I'm down 43% and really hope the 'Accelerate programme' kicks a bit more life into this share. I know if I sell up, it definitely will accelerate! Ha ha GLA

Americans having to pay their own Internal Revenue an additional 10% Tariff for goods imported from UK.

**Does this mean it's better for them to buy train tickets after they land in the UK? (Ha ha).

JPMorgan Asset Management Holdings Inc. seem to be filling their boots!

The times, they are a changing. The ZERO alcohol options are much better than they used to be , GUINNESS 0.00 being one of them. Also sold in supermarkets.

Demand for traditional Guinness before Christmas was such that Diageo had to impose limits to ensure everyone could have their fair share.

FYI On Thursday 20th February at 5pm ET/10pm GMT, Debra Crew (Chief Executive), Nik Jhangiani (Chief Financial Officer), and Sally Grimes (Chief Executive Officer North America) will be presenting at the Consumer Analyst Group of New York (CAGNY) conference. Maybe they will have analysed that 0% is taking off?!?

Q3 FY25 Trading Update

I know nothing! But IMHO the bubble will burst soon. I've mainly cashed in and switched to BAB because they specialise in Nuclear engineering services and Defence- no brainer .DYOR

It won't affect me because I either hand over the Birthday card with a present or post second class. Apparently it's only old folks who post Christmas cards, so I'm told.

Quote: "Trainline has seen its share price fall after the proposed Labour changes to the UK rail. Yet, in our view, the changes proposed by Labour help place Trainline as a key component within their new UK rail vision and should help remove uncertainty overhanging the stock," said Canaccord analyst Karl Burns.

"The visibility provided by Labour shows that third-party players like Trainline are "crucial" to the party's plans for the UK rail model. Labour will have to unpick over 30 years of privatisation and this will involve significant infrastructure, legal and technology changes that are likely to take 4-5 years, and with retailing websites and apps likely to be less of a focus initially, this should help underpin the Trainline business model, further strengthening its position and relationship with Labour in the UK," the analyst said. Meanwhile, increasing digitalisation should be positive for the company, given its already 60% share of the online market and 16m monthly active users.

"Trainline is a high-growth, high-margin, cash-generative platform business but is not currently valued as such [...] We think the current valuation significantly understates the growth and margin potential," he said. Their revised target price for Trainline went up to 455p and kept a 'buy' rating, quashing concerns around rail nationalisation speculation that has been weighing on the shares for some time.

They are excellent looking to me, but why has the SP bombed? I haven't got a Scooby?!?!

Fingers crossed! This SP does seem to roller coaster rather more than I expected and usually for no obvious reason, as far as I can make out. These results are usually impressive and they've signed up some big authors. GLA

I'm one of those Retail Traders who began trading during the Covid days (for something to do) and we’re still here.

I sense that a lot of trades are done on a whim, rather than by looking at the facts. TRN was doing really well until Sir Keir said he’d take it back into public ownership, and it spooked the market! believe most of it already went that way (e.g. Transport for Wales was created as the Welsh Government's Operator in February 2021, to succeed the existing KeolisAmey Wales operated rail franchise)

I should have sold my TRN holding and that WOULD have stopped your losses. :-)

My negative LLOYDS holding had been in the doldrums for so long, when interest rates (and presumably margins too) were high, I sold. Within a day or tow they bounced back up into the green ! LOL

They would only nationalise the operating companies and four are already under government control (e.g. Transport for Wales). My understanding is there are only two private ones. I can't see that the business of Trainline would be affected. But DYOR. Good buying opportunity if you ask me.
