Possibly Southern. Network Rail is a public company in all but name, the reason it wont officially become BR MarkII is because this would affect GBs golden rule that debt should make more than 40% of th UKs GDP, hence why he is such a big fan of PFI for schools and hospitals as it keeps goverment borrowing of the goverment balance sheets.
