It will be interesting to follow TOCs that lose ex-BR stock and use just more modern rolling stock built in the post-privatisation era.
As far as I can tell, the only such TOCs at this stage are:-
c2c
Virgin Trains West Coast
TransPennine Express
Also, if we sub-divide GTR into its natural components, then Gatwick Express, Thameslink and soon Great Northern will qualify but not Southern for a while.
Looking ahead a bit, it will be fascinating to see a list in chronological order of who lost BR heritage stock in what order!
