LONDON: National Express agreed to sell a London rail contract to Italy’s Trenitalia yesterday, marking the departure of what used to be one of the biggest names in British rail and the arrival of another foreign state-owned operator to the network.
Britain privatised its rail services in the 1990s, and the network is now run by several UK-listed transport companies, as well as state-owned European rail groups including Germany’s Deutsche Bahn, Abellio from the Netherlands and Keolis, majority-owned by France’s SNCF. – Reuters
