Angel Trains is a British rolling stock operating company (ROSCO) created in 1994 as part of the privatisation of British Rail. It was one of three ROSCOs (the others being Porterbrook and HSBC Rail). When created, each ROSCO owned around a third of the rolling stock of the former British Rail.

Famous quotes containing the words angel and/or trains:
“It is only for a little while, only occasionally, methinks, that we want a garden. Surely a good man need not be at the labor to level a hill for the sake of a prospect, or raise fruits and flowers, and construct floating islands, for the sake of a paradise. He enjoys better prospects than lie behind any hill. Where an angel travels it will be paradise all the way, but where Satan travels it will be burning marl and cinders.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Ever notice how these European trains always smell of eau de cologne and hard boiled eggs?”
—Billy Wilder (b. 1906)
