Im britischen Schienenpersonenverkehr wird der Betrieb von Teilnetzen nach dem Franchise-Prinzip durch die - dem britischen Verkehrsministerium unterstellte - Strategic Rail Authority (SRA) zeitlich befristet vergeben.
Aus verschiedenen Gründen haben eine Reihe von Betriebsgesellschaften aufgehört zu existieren: Vorzeitige Rückgabe der Konzession, Ablauf der Konzession ohne Erneuerung, Bankrott oder Fusion mit einem anderen Unternehmen.
