do you not realise that many TOCs aren't British? Chiltern is German (IIRC), northern and MerseyRail are part Dutch, Freightliner have a Polish division, and so on... if you wanted to be petty you could say EMT and SWT and 49% of Virgin Trains aren't - they are Scottish
Aren't Freightliner now owned by rich Arabs?
Hello there
DB was about to go public on international stock markets in autumn last year. But the federal state and the financial crisis put some obstacles in their way. A range of rich russian, chinese and arabian investors, concerns or companies are just waiting behind the doors to adopt DB's activities. The network and the regional traffic operator "DB Regio" are the only subsidiaries that will remain state owned. All the DB Schenker (spelled like "Shanker") companies should be the first to go in their plan.
Btw I don't like the name Schenker. I really hate it!! Who can say what this company is doing, when you only hear the name? Terrible! Railion was also a bad name, belied the expectations (due to rely on - rail-y-on...).
And they don't kept the promise not to rename EWS as they broke many other promises. But who can say the name, when it would become a russian and chinese concern?
And the DB logo is out of place there. That's my oppinion, too
