The driver, conductor and passenger killed in a fatal derailment at Stonehaven in 2020 might have survived if they had been travelling on a newer model of train, a report has found.
The Rail Accident Investigation Branch (RAIB) has made 20 recommendations in its highly critical report into the incident at Carmont, near the Aberdeenshire town, on August 12 2020.
Driver Brett McCullough, 45, conductor Donald Dinnie, 58, and passenger Christopher Stuchbury, 62, died when the Aberdeen-bound train came off the rails hours after some of the heaviest rainfall of the year.
