Is it a two-way process: are there any transport or utility companies
elsewhere in the world that are owned by British companies, or is it
all one-sided?

Arriva have franchises/operating concessions/etc in the Netherlands,
Germany, Denmark and perhaps soon Poland. Angel Trains lease stock
across Europe.

FirstGroup have overseas activities in the USA, National Express Group
crop up in North America, Portugal and Australia.

Where do Serco live? They've just got the Dubai metro operating contract.

Serco live in Richmond (.lon.uk, not .va.us); it also runs the
Copenhagen metro. Also, Stagecoach runs commuter buses across the US.

On the subject of utilities, National Grid owns the transmission
network for most of New England and New York.

Tesco's doing well in the US, i believe, and i think our few remaining
banks are holding their ends up.
