Yes in the Netherlands the railway operator makes a lot of money from their train stations as well.

A train station in 2021 is basically a big shopping mall in a prime location with massive foot traffic.

The Dutch Railways even made a slim profit in the UK in 2020 after getting €1,5 billion in subsidies from the UK government through Abellio.

No idea how this new nationalisation will work out for either party, though.
