Suggestions for cleanup-editing
[edit]- Would Add/Point Out list of suggestions for improvement of the page.
- Summary: Is the term TOC exclusive to the UK? - By which I mean should this page say TOC -Train Operating Company for UK TOC's See for French TOC's see ect.
- Expansion of the term Majority Franchise
- Better list of who is responsible for franchises
- Organisation
- Railway Network Set-up either cleaned up or made simpler to understand
- The list of which Government/Department is responsible for each franchise
- Is the list of TOC parent companies needed?
- Changes
- Could this be shortened? its very long and I would presume the information about these companies/franchises is held elsewhere
- Confirm the current list of TOC's and provide a source?
- Future TOC's - I don't believe that TOC's for re-let belong under this heading, maybe a TOC renewal header further down?
- Confirmation the "GO" is a TOC and not a travel/booking agent
- I don't believe the Sea Links Section has any relevance?
- Again is Dutchflyer a TOC?
- Should the Orient Express come under the railtours section?

Freight operating company
[edit]The third line of this page mentions 'Freight rail services' however this is a 'FOC' (Freight operating company) not a TOC. A Train operating company (passengers) and a Freight operating company are two different things, in the uk at least. There is a page for Freight operating company that redirects to 'Rail freight in Great Britain' page. This needs fixing by someone experienced.

- Done (to the one edit before that). Also requested temporary page protection hoping this IP editor gets bored and moves on. 10mmsocket (talk) 06:40, 4 April 2022 (UTC)
