The Department for Transport published a schedule of forthcoming franchise changes between 2013 and 2017. Most issues are archived here, with the latest first.

A replacement ‘schedule’ was published on 1 July 2019 (when v8 was removed from the DfT website), but this consisted only of two Invitations to Tender (for East Midlands and South Eastern) and the prospectus for Cross Country. (The competition for Cross Country was then suspended.)

The House of Commons briefing paper shown in this list does NOT take into account the subsidies to franchised operators represented by direct grants to Network Rail.

For a more accurate account of which franchises yield a true profit for the government, see the DfT rail subsidy indicators (above). For more about Network Rail funding and how it affects the economics of franchises see Rail unveiled.
