Is there really a need for the footnotes about the cross-border Irish services?

¹Operates on the Irish railway network. ²Operated joinly by Iarnród Éireann & NI Railways. ³Single daily service to Newry.

It seems to me to be a bit of unnecessary clutter. A daily service to Newry seems like too much detail for a navbox - this is information that can be found by reading the linked articles themselves. Could these footnotes be removed, or at least reduced just to say these operate over the Irish border, and Eurostar is UK-France? Otherwise, we should also include footnotes explaining that Eurostar operates on the French and Belgian networks, and serves Marseille once a day, or whatever, which seems pointless.

Legally speaking, NIR is not a TOC under the Railways Act 1993. So you can say it "operates trains" - but it's not legally a Train Operating Company. As it stands, the box is deliberately misleading.

Neither, I think, is London Overground - it's a franchise. But perhaps we shouldn't get too hung up on strict definitions and loosen the scope a little, otherwise it's going to baffle the average reader. Maybe just change the title to UK Train Operators or Passenger Train Companies in the UK?

I understand London Overground is legally speaking a TOC. The better thing to do would be to ignore Ireland and restrict it to Great Britain. There's no need to talk about Irish network on a British article. The Irish question just inevitably ends up as a side note that complicates things.

OK, yes, that could also be a sensible approach and solve a few problems. Railways are generally discussed in the geographic terms of Great Britain and not the United Kingdom. I do think Eurostar should be retained, as it operates in GB.

Expanding from Project UK Railways, it is perfectly valid to include future TOC articles that have articles. They should remain until such time as an WP:AFD discussion deems that the articles be deleted, move to draft space or set as redirects.

Just to clarify, you would like to add the following companies:

And the objection is WP:CRYSTAL? Is their existence is not actually confirmed yet? Are the new articles well sourced enough or is there some doubt about them? Or are these just provisional names?
