Aslef said it is the people within organisations that ‘need to be held accountable’.
A rail union has said the £6.7 million fine handed to Network Rail over the fatal Stonehaven derailment is “not justice in the truest sense of the word”.
At the High Court in Aberdeen on Thursday, the company admitted a series of failings that resulted in the deaths, and Judge Lord Matthews handed down the fine on Friday. “People within organisations need to be held accountable, it is them, not the organisation, that makes decisions.” Alex Hynes, managing director of Scotland’s Railway, said Network Rail is committed to continually improving the safety of the railway
Speaking for Network Rail, Alex Hynes, managing director of Scotland’s Railway, said: “The Carmont derailment and the tragic loss of Christopher Stuchbury, Donald Dinnie and Brett McCullough was a terrible day for their families, everyone involved, and for the railway network. “Since the accident, we have been working hard to make our railway safer and to learn the lessons of Carmont.
