Train driver Brett McCullough, 45, conductor Donald Dinnie, 58, and passenger Christopher Stuchbury, 62, died in the derailment near Stonehaven in August 2020.
Network Rail is due in court over a train crash which claimed three lives. Train driver Brett McCullough, 45, conductor Donald Dinnie, 58, and passenger Christopher Stuchbury, 62, died in the derailment near Stonehaven, Aberdeenshire, on August 12, 2020.The ScotRail train derailed at 9.37am after it struck a landslide, hitting gravel and other stony material washed out from a drain.
A Rail Accident Investigation Branch report published last March found errors in the construction of a drainage system installed by Carillion meant it was unable to cope with heavy rain which fell in the area on the morning of the crash. Carillion went into compulsory liquidation in January 2018. A Network Rail spokesman said previously: “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.
"We have invested millions towards improving the resilience of our railway and are rolling out new technology to help us better respond to extreme weather events.”
