Wikipedia:WikiProject UK Railways/TOCs

This is a draft set of criteria intended to serve as a guideline for assessing the notability of train operating companies in Great Britain, both open-access and franchised. It does not apply to operators of trains on heritage railways, industrial railways, tramways, light railways or other metro systems not part of the National Rail network.

It is intended that an organisation is 'scored' at the highest level it ever achieved, even if they no longer meet that criteria. This does not attempt to list every possible scenario or possible state, but to provide a guideline for more common occurrences. The hierarchy is meant to be loose and the criteria have a degree of flexibility to allow for organisations that don't clearly fall at one level or another.

Where the coverage level suggested is a section on a larger article, this will usually be the article about the parent company/organisation and/or the franchise but could be elsewhere depending on the specific circumstances.

Nothing here removes the general requirements detailed at Notability and Reliable sources, and all articles should be assessed on their own merits.
