UK network is run by https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_Rail https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_Rail and the train operators are on government franchise. More importantly though it's pretty much universally recognised in London that TfL (the tube and overground) is much better and more reliable than the rail companies, and TfL is a government body directly.

In the UK, a government entity owns the rails. But the actual operation of train service is contracted to fully private companies.

      It's hard to tolerate dishonest disagreement, but fair enough.
