Re: Is there even ONE example (none / 1)
Seems similar to the situation in the Netherlands, I guess (cargo: privatised, passenger + railway stations: state-owned company to be perhaps privatised, infrastructure: state owned company).

Can't say that the result is ideal, but then it never was.

Re: Is there even ONE example (4.00 / 2)
In Sweden however, private rail operators took over much more of the passenger services than in the Netherlands. The currently still existing state-owned SJ is a rump.
