# Long lists may create very long TOCs.

No Mk1 TSOs are still in use with franchised TOCs, however a number are still in active service with railtour and charter operators.

The promoters of privatisation expected that the ROSCOs would compete against each other to provide the TOCs with the rolling stock they required.

In Great Britain, passenger train services are operated by a number of companies, referred to as Train Operating Companies or TOCs, normally on the basis of regional franchises awarded by the Department for Transport Rail Group.

After three decades, the majority of the HST fleet is still in front-line revenue service under privatisation, and while the InterCity 125 brand name is rarely mentioned officially by the private train-operating companies ( TOCs ), the HST still forms the backbone of express services on several British main lines.

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

Although TOCs compete against each other for franchises, and for passengers on routes where more than one TOC operates, the strapline used with the National Rail logo is ' Britain's train companies working together '.

Pressure after several fatal train crashes has reversed this trend for now to the point some TOCs have restored Guards to services that were stripped of them, First Great Western did this to certain services it acquired when it took over the operation of Thames Trains.

The privatisation process began when BR's passenger sectors were divided into 25 shadow franchises-these were publicly owned TOCs operating in the planned franchise areas prior to the actual franchises being put to tender:

Many Train Operating Companies ( TOCs ) such as Southern have altered their penalty fare policies and have removed many permit to travel machines ; while others, such as Southeastern and Chiltern Railways, have installed more machines recently.

ATOC is an unincorporated association whose membership consists of the passenger Train Operating Companies ( TOCs ) of Great Britain that run the passenger services previously provided by the British Railways Board, from 1965 using the brand name British Rail ).

In the early years, however, customer service was dented when too many drivers were given voluntary redundancy by the new TOCs and trains had to be cancelled.

In 2004, the Labour Party Conference voted by 2 to 1 in favour of a TSSA motion calling on the government to take the TOCs back into public ownership as franchises expired.

Most passenger trains are owned by a small number of Rolling Stock Companies ( ROSCOs ) and are leased to the individual TOCs.

Smaller TOCs and field TOCs can be created in the back of vans and trucks, as well as in tents and buildings by setting up computers and linking in communication equipment.

A side effect of the privatisation of the UK rail network in the last 15 years has been the re-emergence of historic names for the new Train Operating Companies ( TOCs ) and the ' modern ' Southeastern ( and its Connex SE and South Eastern predecessors ) served Merstham until 2008 with a London / Merstham / Redhill / Tonbridge route service ( which at different times in its life extended beyond Tonbridge )-the ' southeastern ' logo remains on display ( Feb 2010 ) at the station entrance.

It also runs Rail Settlement Plan, which allocates ticket revenue to the various TOCs, and Rail Staff Travel, which manages travel facilities for railway staff.

The look and feel of signage, liveries and marketing material is largely the preserve of the individual TOCs.

However, the TOCs still had quite a bit of latitude in changing unregulated fares and could change the number of trains run within certain regulatory and practical limitations.

In practice, in most cases the individual TOCs required specific classes of trains to run their services, and often only one of the ROSCOs would have that class of train, resulting in their having to pay whatever the ROSCO concerned cared to charge for leasing the trains.

The railways also suffer from the effects of short term control because the franchises given to TOCs typically last for a short time.

There has been discussion about the extremely high profits the ROSCOs make and proposals that would allow TOCs to own more rolling stock, or even to allow Network Rail to lease some stock.

There have also been some market led changes in this area already with TOCs hiring in rolling stock and even locomotives from heritage railway organisations.

However, an autumn 2008 survey found passengers were more happy with First Great Western than three other TOCs, and two other operators were on a par with First Great Western.

TOCs have existed since the privatisation of the network under the Railways Act 1993.

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

However, a handful of TOCs own and maintain some of their own rolling stock.

All passenger TOCs in Great Britain are privately owned.
