Take National Express as an example.
Privately owned transport for the public, but the roads are maintained by the govermnet (oh wait, aren't our roads falling apart too? sorry, got sidetracked, no pun intended, oh I give up)

In all honesty the railways need to be vertically integrated, IE the people that own the tracks run most of the trains.

This is how it had always been before the Tory privatisation.

This leads to greater safety as there is one reporting stream for problems that might affect safety.
