Train driver Brett McCullough, 45, conductor Donald Dinnie, 58, and passenger Christopher Stuchbury, 62, died in the crash in 2020
Details of the charges faced by Network Rail have not been revealed, but the High Court roll published by the SCTS says the case will involve a “section 76 indictment”, which means the organisation has told prosecutors it intends to plead guilty.
A Network Rail spokesman said: “The Carmont derailment and the tragic loss of Christopher Stuchbury, Donald Dinnie and Brett McCullough was a terrible day for our railway and our thoughts remain with their families and all those affected by the accident. “Since August 2020, we have been working hard to make our railway safer for our passengers and colleagues.”They included better management of civil engineering projects, improved response to extreme rainfall, and better understanding of the additional risk associated with older trains.
“Immediately after the accident, we inspected all similar locations across Britain and we also conducted a full survey of all types of trackside drainage on Scotland’s railway.
