Great British Railways
Great British Railways is a planned state-owned railway company that will operate most rail infrastructure in Great Britain, most passenger rail services in England and some cross-border passenger rail services in Scotland and Wales.
This will include passenger services, planning timetables, operation and maintenance of rolling stock, setting fares and managing access to the network.
Excluded are Transport for London, Merseyrail, ScotRail, Transport for Wales Rail light rail and tram services.
At present there is no clear indication if the over 30 train operating companies in the United Kingdom listed below, most of whom will be nationalised, will retain their current brand identities or ultimately take on a single national brand identity.

As of April 2025 National Rail does not itself sell tickets, but refers you to the train operating companies, or authorised marketers like Great Britain Rail, that do.
When booking your train tickets at Great Britain Rail their online booking system automatically identifies the cheapest available ticket options, including split train tickets, for your trip and will offer you the lowest available price for your train journey.
