Same-day official data put insolvencies and rail complaints side by side, but skip local detail
Statistics published on 18 September cover company and individual insolvency alongside rail complaints, delay compensation and usage, yet none of the releases offers a Bristol-level breakdown.
The Insolvency Service published monthly tables on companies entering formal insolvency procedures in England and Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland [1]. It also published monthly tables on individual insolvencies including bankruptcies, debt relief orders and individual voluntary arrangements in England and Wales and Northern Ireland [2]. The Office of Rail and Road published annual figures on the volume and causes of complaints made to train operating companies for April 2025 to March 2026 [3]. It also published quarterly data on delay compensation claims made by passengers on Great Britain rail services between 1 April and 25 July 2026 [4], periodic data on Disabled Persons Railcards in circulation and bookings for passenger assistance [5], and quarterly passenger rail usage figures for April to June 2026 covering journeys, kilometres and revenue on the mainline network [6].
The reporting periods and geographies differ. Company and individual insolvency tables are monthly [1][2]. Rail complaints cover a full year [3]. Delay compensation and passenger usage are quarterly, with railcard data reported periodically [4][5][6].
