Suggestions for cleanup-editing

[edit]
Would Add/Point Out list of suggestions for improvement of the page.
  1. 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.
  2. Expansion of the term Majority Franchise
  3. Better list of who is responsible for franchises
  4. Organisation
  • Railway Network Set-up either cleaned up or made simpler to understand
  • The list of which Government/Department is responsible for each franchise
  1. Is the list of TOC parent companies needed?
  2. Changes
  • Could this be shortened? its very long and I would presume the information about these companies/franchises is held elsewhere
  1. Confirm the current list of TOC's and provide a source?
  2. Future TOC's - I don't believe that TOC's for re-let belong under this heading, maybe a TOC renewal header further down?
  3. Confirmation the "GO" is a TOC and not a travel/booking agent
  4. I don't believe the Sea Links Section has any relevance?
  5. Again is Dutchflyer a TOC?
  6. 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.

Rollback needed

[edit]

Could someone with rollback rights please urgently sort this page out? It's absolute shambles... Mattdaviesfsic (talk) 20:25, 3 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Can you suggest a point in history to go back to? 10mmsocket (talk) 21:22, 3 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Perhaps here?: https://wiki.riteme.site/w/index.php?title=Train_operating_company&curid=923810&diff=1080841319&oldid=1080818737 Mattdaviesfsic (talk) 04:28, 4 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
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)[reply]
