Same statistical window puts rail delay causes, complaints and compensation alongside road and insolvency data

The performance release reports punctuality, reliability and causes of delay [1]; the complaints release reports the volume and cause of complaints made to train operating companies [10]; the delay compensation release reports claims made between 1 April and 25 July 2026 and how effectively train operating companies processed them [11]. The infrastructure release adds the length of the rail network, new electrification projects, station numbers and rolling stock [9], while the usage release adds passenger journeys, kilometres and revenue [13].

The Insolvency Service published company and individual insolvency statistics for August 2026 [7][8], and the Planning Inspectorate announced experimental statistics covering performance against Ministerial Measures [4][5].

The scope of the releases is national: rail usage covers the mainline network in Great Britain, delay compensation covers rail services within Great Britain, and road conditions cover England [13][11][6]. For local authorities, the road conditions release is reported separately for local authority roads and National Highways managed roads in England [6].
