How are you. This is unbelievable. I feel for the staff and people who have invested money through their saye etc and pension former employees who have relied on dividend. Shambles doesnt describe it. Good luck to all.

Is going on here. The rights issue was supposed to be to put things right. Unbelievably incompetent.

That this has dipped below £1 again. Thought after rights issue there was only 1 way this would go didn't see it being down.

The continuing frailty of the share price. I thought as these levels it was an absolute no-brainer. Shows what I know.

As been looking at others that concern me more. Cant believe this is still at this level. I suppose it hasnt helped that thye have lost key contracts. still think long term it has a viable future. Could be worse for the long term suffering. You could have joined me in BLNX. Best of luck all.

Share consolidation at 10 for 1 at 1p to take price to 10p. Now 0.8P. Darwin were involved there as well.

Too busy nursing 2 in incubators in POG and BLNX. Although FGP has been very disappointing no where near the volatility of the 2 other bad boys.

Commenting, John McFarlane said: This is what he said when he got chairmans role less than a year ago. "I am pleased to be joining FirstGroup at an important stage of its evolution. The Group has short-term challenges which we will naturally need to overcome, but I am convinced it has significant opportunity to benefit from its market-leading positions and to deliver sustainable long-term value for shareholders. I look forward to playing a pivotal role in its future." Well I dont think he has played a pivotal role. Probably spent most of that time talking to Barclays.

Normally UT will be either last buy or sell price. On odd occasions it can be above or below last price. I have noticed that spread normally widens just before close.

It isnt used for rapid price movement its just used at start of day and end of day to match the trades and give an end price.

Having not seen that trade I would suggest its more likely to be the UT. That is matching trades at end of the day.

But dont get burnt. Good luck.

You giving it that long. its a share consolidation. Whos getting sucked in.

This would kick on. Think now the 3 things that will push this on are new or retaining of rail routes, increase in profits and reinstatement of dividend. I think they will happen in the order as well.

Wish I knew the answer. Think it will happen in the fulness of time. Probably when the American side of the business starts contributing to profits rather than being a drag.

Because of large spread 0.03 to 0.04 33%

A dividend just reduced shares price anyway and is taxable. If the company thinks that American business has affected profits in adverse way before now ( which they have stated ) then that would have effect on dividend. I think as long as trading remains on track they may declare a final dividend. Think they will play it gently gently.

Over 1 year ago. Atthe time I was also invested in TCG. I always thought FGP would carch up TCG but didnt think it would be closing in the 120s.

And pensioners. I apologise for my humour on here when potentially people are actually losing money on here and may have invested money in share saves bonused etc. I do feel for you all and hope that the company does turn around their fortunes. There is absolutely no reason why the company can not get back to a much more realistic level and although stopping dividends is a drastic matter hoipefully they will re-commence them at the soonest opportunity. Good luck all.

They will be sick
