Same-week data releases set rail, fuel and insolvency statistics side by side
A two-day cluster of national statistics from the Office of Rail and Road, DfT, the Insolvency Service and the Planning Inspectorate covers rail punctuality, complaints, assisted travel, low-carbon fuel supply and insolvencies.
The Office of Rail and Road published passenger rail performance for April to June 2026, covering punctuality, reliability and causes of delay on the mainline network [1]. The Department for Transport published first provisional statistics for the Renewable Transport Fuel Obligation and the Sustainable Aviation Fuel Mandate, both covering supply for January to December 2026 [2][3]. The Insolvency Service published company and individual insolvency figures for August 2026 [6][7]. The Planning Inspectorate announced two experimental statistics releases covering performance against Ministerial Measures [4][5].
The rail releases track punctuality, reliability and delay causes [1], complaint volumes [8], and the number of Disabled Persons Railcards in circulation and assisted-journey bookings [9]. The fuel releases track the supply of renewable transport fuel and sustainable aviation fuel [2][3]. The insolvency releases track formal company insolvency procedures and individual insolvencies including bankruptcies, debt relief orders and individual voluntary arrangements [6][7].
These releases do not link these topics to each other; the connection between passenger rail experience, low-carbon fuel supply and insolvency appears only when the documents are read together.
