CrossCountry Trains Ltd won the right to operate the CrossCountry
franchise from 11 November 2007 when the Strategic Rail Authority
determined that its bid for the franchise was the best value for
money and the most sustainable. CrossCountry operates the most
extensive passenger rail network in the UK covering 16 million
route miles per year; it also operates the longest rail service in
the UK - the 08:20 a.m. Aberdeen to Penzance (774 miles). Based in
the centre of England in Birmingham, the company serves seven of
the country's largest cities and provides 295 services every
weekday, which equates to around 30 million passenger journeys per
year. It also employs around 1,626 employees. The company does not
operate any stations itself, but CrossCountry's trains do call at
more than 119 stations stretching from Aberdeen in the north,
Stansted Airport in the east, Cardiff in the west and Penzance in
the south west. With Birmingham New Street at the hub, its services
crisscross the country in a similar pattern to that of the UK
motorway system.
