Angel Trains
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Angel Trains is one of the three major ROSCOs (Rolling Stock Companies) in the United Kingdom. Created in 1994 as part of the privatisation of British Rail, it owns around a third of passenger railway locomotives, multiple units and coaching stock running on Network Rail's system which it leases to various train operators. Like its fellow ROSCOs (HSBC Rail & Porterbrook) Angel Trains is now owned by a major banking group, in this case Royal Bank of Scotland who acquired Angel Trains in December 1997 from a division of Nomura Holdings for £395 million.
