National Rail is used by the Association of Train Operating Companies ( ATOC ) as a generic term to define the passenger rail services operated in Great Britain-before the adoption of National Rail, " Great Britain Passenger Railway " was used.

The NR title is sometimes described as a " brand " but according to ATOC this is incorrect.

ATOC is the trade association representing the TOCs and provides core services, including the provision of the National Rail Enquiries service.

The Association of Train Operating Companies ( ATOC ) provides a commonality for the TOCs and provides some centralised co-ordination.

In 2009 ATOC ( Train Operators ) announced proposals for reopening a station on the edge of town, to be called ' Clay Cross and North Wingfield '.

In June 2009, the Association of Train Operating Companies ( ATOC ) petitioned in its report Connecting Communities: Expanding Access to the Rail Network for the line to be restored as part of the national rail network as part of plans for 14 extra lines and about 40 new stations.

In June 2009, the Association of Train Operating Companies ( ATOC ) issued a report, which proposes the reinstatement of the line between Bentley and Bordon, as one of 20 schemes that are recommended for further consultation.

The National Rail ( NR ) logo was introduced by ATOC in 1999, and was used on the Great Britain public timetable for the first time in the edition valid from 26 September in that year.

The National Rail Enquiries website, run by ATOC, includes a real-time journey planner, fares and live departure information, in English.

Services provided by ATOC include National Rail Enquiries, sponsorship of the PlusBus Schemes, the management of rail discount cards and the licensing of railway travel agents.

Rules for its use are set out in the Corporate Identity Style Guidelines published by ATOC, available on its website.
