Almost £1 million in damages has been secured from Network Rail for seven people affected by a rail crash which claimed three lives, lawyers have said. 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. Digby Brown said that its clients’ civil actions against Network Rail have now ended, with all cases settled out of court. A spokesman for the law firm said: “I can confirm our civil actions against Network Rail have all successfully settled. The RAIB report made 20 recommendations to improve railway safety, many of which were directed at Network Rail.
