Indeed, I wouldn’t rely on a single dataset. You do see it on plenty of forums and comments and other places where people have said they have moved to the last place left in town. There’s usually only one of those (likely Nationwide).
I think this has less to do with Revolut etc but more that Barclays believe they have gone too far with their branch closures.
Slightly dated stats but you can see Barclays has the smallest branch footprint of the big banks by quite a margin while several others have already paused their branch closures programmes (HSBC) and/or are involved in takeovers (Santander) which will actually increase the number they have.
Got a text to say I qualify for the switch bonus today 
might even open a cash ISA with them as the premier rate seems pretty good.

How long did that take? I ticked all the boxes last week but no text yet.
The transfer in completed on the 1st April, and I’d paid in £4k a few days before that.
My little town on the outskirts of London has one of those banking hubs where a bank runs it one day a week.
The only bank left in town is nationwide.
And it’s not even a bank
