Correct - I realised too late they were the only First TOCs serving London and the only ones they serve at London Paddington, London Waterloo and Vauxhall, of which people likely would ignore Vauxhall and assume it is served both by South Western Railway and Great Western Railway, and of the ones not served by CrossCountry very few have no non-stopping services!
