We're out, fantastic news! Now that we're out, the only thing Im worried about is the economy, the pound has fallen to its lowest level since 1985. Will Brexit have any impact on buses or bus manufacturers? |

Will Brexit have any impact on buses or bus manufacturers? I think it's only to be expected that there will be be some short term problems but in the long term I think this is a fantastic result. Interesting to ponder what effect this might have on the bus industry. |

As we are officially out of Europe, would this Affect the bus companies? Maybe some will leave

Now that we're out, the only thing Im worried about is the economy, the pound has fallen to its lowest level since 1985. Will Brexit have any impact on buses or bus manufacturers? Of course it will. Anyone who imagines that voting to leave the EU is without massive and damaging consequences is living in la la land. Currency moves will immediately affect the cost of everything priced in euros in the manufacturing country. How many bus chassis and components are made in the UK? Not that many. It also immediately means that there are issues on all rail projects where anything is not priced in pounds. The cost of all those Siemens / CAF trains has just changed. Let's hope TfL, Network Rail and others have got their risk registers and risk allowances topped up with plenty of money. This then means there's less cash for everything else. I also expect that some of the foreign owned groups will now start an urgent review as to whether they wish to remain in the UK market and the prospect for future earnings. The value of their investments has changed overnight. Anyway, toodle pip, back to the 1940s/50s and poverty, insularity, intolerance and fascism.  At least I'll be dead within the next 20 years and you poor youngsters will have to live the consequences of today's decision. No one can actually predict what will happen in the future regardless of the decision - it was this sort of apocalyptic view that made me switch off from the election coverage. |

I voted to remain. Anyway, much to everyone's disappointment negativity will get us no where, there is no room for pessimism and the best thing to do is be optimistic right now. We just need to accept it and move on, we have a lot at stake and we should hope and work for a brighter future for Britain now that we're out of the EU.

Nicola Sturgeon is to highly likely ask for another referendum on Scottish independence - regardless of the result, it was always inevitable that she'd ask for it.

No one can actually predict what will happen in the future regardless of the decision - it was this sort of apocalyptic view that made me switch off from the election coverage. I'm sorry but it was entirely predictable that what has happened this morning - the pound crashing, share prices collapsing, the PM resigning, the Scots wanting out from the UK, European leaders wanting us out ASAP, fascist loonies in Europe cheering - would result from a Leave vote. Plenty of experts, you know those people who are not to be trusted according to Mr Gove, predicted all these things. Anyone who has even a basic level of understanding of economics could have predicted the turbulence. I am even reading that people who voted Leave are "shocked" "worried" and "didn't think a Leave vote would count". What on earth did they think would happen?  This is why voting is banned in so many countries - it's powerful, it has consequences. It will get a lot worse pretty quickly because the situation is largely out of our hands now. We don't have a functioning government and the opposition is busy imploding too. This is simply a disaster. We have simply lit the fuse to an enormous bomb under our country and now have to await the explosion.  You've completely misread my post. I'm talking about further down the line not today. Everyone on all sides predicted that the markets will tumble at first because of the uncertainty but no one can predict what will go on further down the line. As for Scottish independence, they were pushing for it regardless of which way people voted - the SNP are gung ho in favour of splitting away from the rest of the UK in favour of going alone and have been since Alex Salmond took charge at least - it's not new and it would of happened at some point. I'm not going to lie - one or two things do worry me about leaving but personally, I thought it was the best decision to take. |

The iBus will display "*" for at least 10 years and I doubt Bojo will return us to line of route  |

Maybe some will leave Just to clear this one up.. we aren't officially out just yet Parliament still has to pass a law and the next conservative party leader needs invoke article 50. As it stands, the UK is still an EU member at the moment. |
