Interim report to the Secretary of State for Transport following the derailment at Carmont, near Stonehaven
The Secretary of State requested a wider assessment of the impact of extreme weather on the resilience and safe performance of our rail network.
Andrew Haines, Network Rail’s chief executive, said: “My thoughts remain with the families and friends of the three people who lost their lives, those who were injured and everybody affected by the tragedy at Stonehaven last month. We owe it to them, and all our passengers, to make sure we understand what happened and what more we should be doing to reduce the risk of it ever happening again.
“我们都意识到我们越来越多地看到了更多的恶劣天气事件，并作为今天的报告显示，地球工作和排水基础设施 - 其中一些超过150岁 - 被证明是一个真正的挑战，因为国家经历更沉重降雨量和洪水。
“Our railway is one of the safest in Europe and tragic accidents are incredibly rare, but something went wrong on 12 August near Stonehaven and it is a stark reminder that we must never take safety for granted. We are improving and accelerating our resilience work and will do everything we can to minimise the impact of weather on the safety and reliability of the railway as our climate continues to change.”
