odd combinations

[P156KWJ]

More than 10 years after privatisation, the names of the railways can be seen many places elsewhere, with lots of companies that are involved being in something completely seperate. Here's 2 obvious ones that I can think of:

Virgin Cola

Serco prison vans

can anyone else think of other such examples?

National Express coaches would be the obvious one!

Arriva buses too but a train operator also being a bus/coach operator isn't a terribly odd combination.

Although it would be better if they worked together at times!

Arriva North Midlands :cry:

Although I don't think it's got any UK TOCs, I often see Veolia on bin lorries around here. I think they have train services in the Netherlands though.

It's a worldwide thing too.

Go-ahead are the other obvious bus company.

Or how about Go-Ahead snack bars?

I they don't have any TOCs any more but Veolia Transportation used to be called Connex Group, and we all know what became of them!

Oh dear, never mind eh? Can't win 'em all...

Waste management is their main business I believe. Along with water and other things.

Serco do a lot more than just prison vans and trains. They provide all the fleet support service for the Royal Navy, in partnership with Denholm.

I've been on that boat.

 

[P156KWJ]

apparently Serco repair guns for the MoD too (quote from a friend that is)

Your lucky enough to get 67s and 321s? 8)

Sorry had to say it

 

[mbonwick]

Yes Serco do some of the weapons as well - visit their website, it's a good showcase of what they do!

Wasn't there some kind of dodgy dealing that involved Connex South Central / South Eastern paying Onyx to clean trains, but Onyx didn't actually bother cleaning the trains, merely pocketed the money?

I was considering class 59's today and the various liveries? Some of them must still be pre privatisation?
