Train driver Brett McCullough, conductor Donald Dinnie and passenger Christopher Stuchbury all died in the disaster

He said the company extended the “deepest and most profound sympathies” to relatives, and that what happened had “shook Network Rail to its core”.“Its co-operation with all investigations was absolute. And its response to ensure so far as reasonably possible that such tragedy should not be repeated was comprehensive and continues.”
