Stonehaven derailment probe 'large and complex'

by Kevin

A fatal accident inquiry (FAI) into the Stonehaven train derailment in which three men died will be "large and complex" and could last about two months, a hearing has been told.

The Aberdeen to Glasgow train derailed at Carmont in Aberdeenshire after hitting a landslide following heavy rain in 2020.

Driver Brett McCullough, 45, conductor Donald Dinnie, 58, and passenger Christopher Stuchbury, 62, died and Network Rail was fined £6.7m in 2023 after admitting a series of failings which led to the deaths.

A further preliminary hearing will be held later this year before a start date for the FAI can be set.
