DB are running everything into the ground and have a bowl out for cash handouts and grants.

Arriva haven't been running the Metro for years and they also run the Overground in London which is perfectly fine, no-one could run the Metro properly with the current fleet and that's a Nexus issue. Also GoAhead don't particular have a good track record with trains neither if anything they're much worse than Arriva (Southern (GTR)).

Also the majority of the subsidised services are current or past GNE services. There's very little of Arriva's and Stagecoach's network subsidised just saying.
