The driver was not warned that part of the track near Stonehaven was unsafe before the fatal crash in 2020.
Network Rail has admitted a series of failings which led to the death of three people in a train derailment near Stonehaven in 2020.Three people died and six were injured when a train struck a landslide at Carmont after heavy rain.
Network Rail admitted failing to impose a speed restriction, warn the driver that part of the track was unsafe, or ask him to reduce his speed. It also admitted a number of failures over the maintenance and inspection of drainage in the area, and in adverse and extreme weather planning. Driver Brett McCullough, 45, conductor Donald Dinnie, 58, and passenger Christopher Stuchbury, 62, died when the train derailed on 12 August 2020.
Mr Stuchbury had intended to board an earlier train which was cancelled so he boarded the train which ultimately derailed instead as he could change at Dundee.Six other people were injured when the 06:38 Aberdeen to Glasgow service hit washed-out debris at Carmont, south of Stonehaven in Aberdeenshire.The train had been returning towards Aberdeen because the railway was blocked further down the line.
