Maybe I'm wrong but surely Northern, Chiltern and Virgin West Coast are all owned by non-bus operators.
Also if you think of Keolis as a transport company and not a bus operator then you can include Transpennine Express, Southern and South Eastern on this list as they have a 50% share in these 3 companies.

Virgin West Coast is 51% Virgin and 49% Stagecoach. As for TPE, London Midland, Southern and South Eastern, the other half is owned by bus companies.
