Reply to comment by Malinut in France to Invest €100 Billion in Railway Infrastructure by Winstonoceaniasmith
An article 6 years out of date?
At least 4 of the listed operators in that article have changed ownership

Yeah it is well out of date as everyone remembers that nationalisation spree the government went on with the railways after Jeremy Corbyn won the election.

LNER
Caledonian Sleeper
ScotRail
Southeastern
Northern
Welsh and Borders, now TFW
All nationalised since that article was produced. That's 6 operators out of 28 or 21%
I think 21% is enough to say that the article is now factually inaccurate.
Best not to talk bollocks about something you don't understand.

21% of companies, but not 21% of rail. Caledonian sleeper is what, two trains?

ScotRail serve all of Scotland and Northern are one of the Largest operators in the country.
I don't really know why the distance they cover or the amount of services is being questioned. It's not even a metric the RMT use and they're vehemently opposed to privatisation.
