Who owns and runs the Community Rail line?

The railway infrastructure of a Community Rail line is still owned by Network Rail. One of the rolling stock leasing companies (ROSCOs) will usually own the trains that run on the line, but creative approaches to this are encouraged where costs can be reduced.

拥有当地特许经营权的火车公司运营车站和火车,并负责日常站维护,除非它已经签订了以节省成本。
