Network Rail publishes information on compensation paid to train operators on the transparency pages of its website. This data is recorded by financial year. Information on total schedule 4 and 8 payments (track access contracts, which cover planned disruptions and unplanned disruptions to services on the rail infrastructure network) for the latest financial year 17/18 can be viewed on Network Rails website:
