Railways: Compensation

Asked by Laurence TurnerLabourDepartment for TransportTabled Answered 20 November 2025UIN 91824

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, with reference to Network Rail's spreadsheet published on 2 February 2022 entitled Payments for disruption on the railway, if Network Rail will publish an updated version of that table.

Answered by Keir Mather

Network Rail publish information to meet their statutory obligations and where it would be valuable to the public.

They aim not to duplicate information published elsewhere (for instance on their Safety Central site, their Annual Report and Accounts, or through the Rail Data Marketplace).

Annual Schedule 8 payment figures are published in Network Rail’s Regulatory Financial Statements.
