alt of cast iron
The only part of the passenger railway still in private hands is the rolling stock. The rolling stock companies (ROSCOs) have a cast-iron guarantee that come hell or high water, they still get their charges. Even if half the fleet is parked up in sidings, they are still entitled to all their payments.
