Having worked for DB, they're not a bad firm at all, the administration could be a bit better than it is now, but they are by no means a terrible company and in fact, the Chiltern Railways franchise is probably the best in the land. I'm not fond of Grand Central but I think things will change once the 180s are ridden of.Nexus run the Metro system, plain and simple. They tried to franchise it out (for want of a better word) to DB which lasted a few years before they took it back in house 2-3 years ago. DB have no involvement in Metro.
Also, I'm sure DB does not own the Metro System.
