	List of companies operating trains in the United Kingdom - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In Great Britain, passenger train services are operated by a number of companies, referred to as Train Operating Companies or TOCs, normally on the basis of regional franchises awarded by the Department for Transport Rail Group, until 2005 this role was carried out by the Strategic Rail Authority.
		The Association of Train Operating Companies is the coordinating body of the train operating companies in Great Britain and owns the National Rail brand which uses the former British Rail double-arrow logo and organises the common ticketing structure.
		A number of operating companies have ceased to exist for a number of reasons, including premature withdrawal of the franchise; the natural term of the franchise has expired; bankruptcy; or there has been a merger.

	RMT - The financial performance of the Train Operating Companies (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-24)
		This chapter examines the train operators' receipts from fares and subsidies, their costs and profits for the years 1996 to 2003, the last year for which all their accounts were available as at autumn 2004, in order to understand the degree to which they are underpinned by public monies.
		Firstly, as the companies themselves explained in their annual reports, this was because they devoted some effort and extra resources to "revenue protection", ensuring that all passengers paid for their journeys and at the correct fare.
		While the companies do itemise the various elements of subsidies, the incentives, compensation and their sources, they vary in the clarity and form of their disclosure and the level of detail and explanation.

		These were joint stock public companies and they continued to run the railway system until December 31 1947, although nearly bankrupt as a result of the Second World War.

	BBC NEWS \| UK \| Rail fare rises come under fire
		The rail companies say they need the extra money for investment but passenger groups and unions say some of the higher fares are "eye-watering".
		And Bob Crow, general secretary of rail union the RMT also questioned the level of fare increases, saying train firms were "shamelessly" using route monopolies to maximise profits on premium routes.
		The rise in regulated fares may be offset for some passengers by discounts for season ticket holders because of the poor performance of companies.

	First Draft by Tim Porter
		As recently as 2001, a year after some of the biggest companies in Hollywood formed Fandango, the theater ticket direct seller that bypasses a consumer's need to look in a newspaper for movie locations and times, the newspaper industry still had its head buried in a bucket of buttered popcorn about entertainment advertising dollars.
		They have the chance to build new forms of journalism that operate on traditional principles of fairness, stewardship and vigilance but are not bound by tired definitions of what is "news," how it should be presented and who should be given the tools to do so.
		These newsroom training gaps sit atop a defensive, risk-averse culture layer that discourages innovation and change and regards training and professional growth as something that happens only when the journalism is finished for the day.

		Following one of the four options produces an additional panel on the left-hand side listing the sections available there, so it is difficult to get lost in the site, although the text in these panels is too small to read comfortably.
		It is fast and relatively straightforward, although it does not display the companies running the particular trains it finds nor any booking or smoking restrictions, unlike Railtrack's service.

		This seems a missed opportunity, as the technology could be exploited to simplify interpreting the timetable, although the acknowledged use of Railtrack's timetable service partly compensates for this.
		A separate part of the site lists bus connections from stations but these cannot be integrated with a timetable search.
		A list of FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions) is a novel feature but in practice appears to be a substitute for developing the structure of the site: static information about the company and press releases about new developments and promotions are mixed together.
