DfT Operator (DFTO) is the public sector rail Owning Group with responsibility for all train operators as they transfer into public ownership. It is a publicly owned company established by the Department for Transport in 2018. Our ambition is to deliver safe, secure and sustainable transport to everyone, everywhere. At the heart of this promise is improving journeys and providing customers with an excellent service, while supporting the industry to build a more passenger-focused railway. We currently have four train operators: London North Eastern Railway (LNER) - Northern - Southeastern - TransPennine Express (TPE), delivering four and a half thousand services a day, and 300 million customer journeys across our network every year. Over the next 3 years, we will complete the transfer of all passenger services operated under contracts with the Department for Transport (DfT). Our vision is to unify and strengthen train operators under the DFTO banner. By working collaboratively, we aim to become industry-leading in safety, customer service, financial and operational performance.
