Re: Finals tomorrow I have made a tick list of excuses I am expecting tomorrow, let's see if I miss any:- Hurricane Katrina, - US Snow- UK snow- Low Oil price- labour market issues- low cost flights - low highstreet footfall in UK- North of England in long term decline- roadworks- GWR upgrade work- train timetable changes- Brexit- Uncertainty in US politics- Late/early Easter (every year seems to work against results)

Finals tomorrow Hi all. Tomorrow is finals day. Management will have the excuse book out, then tell us the plan is still working. I think that there will be pressure to announce some kind of revamp, but I`m not holding my breath on that one. The only thing that can save this company from doom is a plan to cut debt and sort out the margins. Why I keep holding only God knows. Good luck to all out there.HH

Rumours / Speculation 1) Italian Trains see First as being entry into UK market and already have large holding in FGP .2) Grayling is talking to FGP about East Coast as they had been unsuccessful under bidder.Whatever happens, I'm out soon because the pension situation terrifies me!

Re: Can see an announcement coming of so... I think more likely is a spin off of us operations. Still not convinced it will happen but in my opinion may deliver best outcome for shareholders. A mix of shares, special dividend and debt reduction could leave shareholders in a much stronger position.West face capital are pushing for the above, but have been ignored to date.

Re: Can see an announcement coming of so... I personally think someone else is interested in the company as there are still lots of after hours buying

Re: Can see an announcement coming of some k... I would agree as it does seem strange the SP has recovered back to the level prior to withdrawal of the supposed bid for the Company.Watch out any day now.

Re: Still some interest Point taken Pyueck. And I had skin in it then. Sold at a minor loss, and am now looking at 18% down on the price I sold at. So hmmmm.. Tempting. Yet a voice in the back of my head is saying Noooooo!

Re: Still some interest Ok but remember in 2013 there was a 3:2 rights issue at 85p so you have to factor this in charts.

Re: Still some interest But it looks worse when you look at the graph since 1995. Something has gone badly wrong snce 2013 though. It could well be worth a punt at £1 but I will watch a little longer.

Still some interest Looking at after hours trading I think there is still some interest,definitely some value here in my opinion

Re: Share buyout? Is it possible that there was something nasty lurking out of sight? Of course this is completely unconnected but didn't the Telegraph point out that FGP have a pension deficit of roughly £10bn. but a market capitalisation of roughly £1bn. ? If Scotland did become independent then who would pick up the bill if First failed?
