Network Rail faces prosecution over a train crash which killed three people. Train driver Brett McCullough, 45, conductor Donald Dinnie, 58, and passenger Christopher Stuchbury, 62, died in the incident near Stonehaven, Aberdeenshire, on August 12 2020.
The train hit the side of a bridge, causing its power car and one of its four carriages to fall down an embankment. The case is listed on the Scottish Courts and Tribunals Service court rolls as a Section 76 indictment, a procedure which suggests a guilty plea may be offered. Carillion went into compulsory liquidation in January 2018. The RAIB report made 20 recommendations to improve railway safety, many of which were directed at Network Rail.
“Since August 2020, we have been working hard to make our railway safer for our passengers and colleagues. We are committed to delivering on the recommendations made by RAIB and have also made other significant changes to how we manage the risk of severe weather to our network.
