As a comparative newbie to the rail industry, I'm curious how an Open Access operator gets its revenue. A lot of station pairs are connected by several operators so I'm guessing the revenue of each ticket sold is divided in some way between the operators. Open Access operators, I believe, can't milk the main routes so have to open up new flows and, it seems, have more attractive ticket prices. If that is the case, they need a greater generation of revenue yet ticket revenue is still shared??
How does it work? Presumably GrandCentral share all revenue from York to London with NXEC and also get a cut of other operators revenue and then Sunderland to York with Northern and any other operator on the route.
