3) Wrexham & Shropshire - another DB subsidiary ?
4) Grand Central - ???
Note that these are some of the better operators IMHO !

Northern and Mersyrail are both owned by Serco-NedRailways, both are run quite closely, or at least have been in the past, with several Nothern trains taking Merseyrail livery, etc.
Wrexham & Shropshire is owned by DB Regio, which is itself a subsidery of DB.
Grand Central I believe is privately owned and as such as somewhat stand-alone rather than a subsidary?
Oh, it's worth noting Virgin trains is owned 49% Stagecoach, a bus company.
