The tracks are owned by a Governmant organiation, Network Rail and Train Operating companies operate trains on the Government rails, EWS is the largest frieght operator.

Virgin one of the main passenger operators.

It make no sense and does not work, as a series of crashes proves, Hatfield, Ladbrook Grove, Southall, etc

Answer 3

The Association of Train Operating Companies website lists franchised passenger train companies on their home page. It doesn't cover freight though.  Or try ASLEF which is the union body who look after train drivers.

National Rail is the consortium of rail companies. National Rail is owned by ATOC. ATOC control all the ticketing in the UK - whereas the train operators control the ticketing PRICES.
