KPMG have been appointed to find a buyer for FirstGBRf, the rail freight arm to FirstGroup which it acquired in 2003 through the purchase of GB Rail. It is expected to be sold for around £30 million.

It was sold today to Groupe Eurotunnel for £31million. Surely this must mean that little rail freight is carried by a british owned company now.

I think Freightliner's private equity owners are foreign so yes that would just leave state-owned (via the Nuclear Decomissioning Authnority) Direct Rail Services
