Train operators on the map

162 companies · 1051 routes

Every railway company running two or more of the 1516 routes in this atlas, with what it runs counted from the routes themselves. Where a company's Wikidata item could be verified against the countries its trains actually cross, the page also carries its founding year and links its article; where it could not, the page says nothing about the company rather than guessing.

Which train operator runs the most routes on this map?

Renfe, with 50 of the 1516 routes in the atlas, ahead of China Railway (45) and SNCF (43).

How many railway companies are on this map?

162 operators run two or more of the routes here and have a page each; between them they run 1051 of 1516 routes. The rest are one-off services — a single heritage line or a single luxury train — and live on their own route page rather than an operator page.

Which is the oldest railway company here?

Great Western Railway, whose Wikidata item records an inception of 1833. Company ages and line ages are different things: the oldest LINE in the atlas opened in 1830, long before most of the companies now running over it existed.
