There isn't a TOC which runs the HEX service. HEX is operated by HEX

So you're saying that HEX is a company that operates trains, but it's
not a train operating company...?


It is a train operating company (a company that runs additional trains on
the national network). It is not a Train Operating Company (a company that
has bought the franchise to operate a specified set of services within a
geographical area, according to DfT minimum service requirements), the
successors to the BR Train Operating Units.
