Information on compensation paid by individual train operating companies is published by the Department, and is available here: Rail passenger compensation paid by train operating companies - GOV.UK

The latest published data provides figures by train operating company up to and including the 2024-25 financial year. The Department will continue to publish compensation data as it becomes available.

In addition, information on the Government’s public ownership programme, including the dates on which train operators have transferred into public ownership, is available here: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/great-british-railways
