Mind you, I think I was wrong, anyway, 'cos Scotrail is run by First, isn't it,

IIRC only on the basis they are the only current contractor/franchisee
for the services covered by that brand.

Which is a somewhat long winded way of saying 'yes' !

It depends what direction you are coming from. The Scottish Government
could also be said to be "running ScotRail" by way of having
franchised the services included in the brand. Had e.g. the sleepers
gone to someone else then there could have been two companies
"running" ScotRail.
