Operator of last resort GudangMovies21 Rebahinxxi LK21

      An operator of last resort is a business in the United Kingdom that operates a railway franchise, on behalf of the government, when a train operating company (TOC) is no longer able to do so, and are nationalised on an interim basis. Since the last appointment in June 2023, there are now six such operators of seven rail services in England, Wales and Scotland. In December 2024, following new legislation in November, it was announced that the first of the remaining contracted TOCs would be taken back into public ownership in May 2025.


      Purpose


      Under the Railways Act 1993, which privatised passenger operations in the United Kingdom, the government is required to maintain continuity of passenger rail services if a franchise is terminated. In some instances, the government has been able to negotiate for the existing franchisee to continue to operate the franchise on a management contract until it can be relet, as happened when GNER defaulted on the InterCity East Coast franchise in 2007.
      Should this not be possible, the Department for Transport (DfT) in England (through DfT Operator), or the Scottish Government (through Scottish Rail Holdings) for the ScotRail franchise in Scotland, and the Welsh Government for the Wales & Borders franchise in Wales, is required to step in as the operator of last resort.


      Structure


      In July 2009, the DfT established Directly Operated Railways (DOR) as its operator of last resort for England. In November 2015, the DfT wound up DOR and appointed a partnership of Arup Group, Ernst & Young and SNC-Lavalin Rail & Transit.


      Utilisation


      Since privatisation in the mid-1990s there have been nine occasions when an operator of last resort has been appointed. As of December 2024, the government has announced plans to hand over three more services to the operator of resort in 2025, with an expectation that the hand over of all train operating companies' services, excluding open access operators, will be completed by October 2027.
