...just awful...3 people leave their homes and families that day for what would seem a ‘normal day’ and they never return...it’s heartbreaking, I can’t imagine the worlds of their families right now....just so, so tragic.....

Yes The Driver reversed
as he could see a landslip ahead
but then another landslip just started.


Getting a Rail crane in there, to help.



[6.38am: Despite heavy rain overnight in the area,
the train left Aberdeen station as normal, bound for Glasgow Queen Street.

6.53am: The train calls at Stonehaven station as normal,
before departing and heading south.

Between 6.53am and 9.40am: After leaving Stonehaven,
the train continued south, before encountering a landslip, caused by torrential rain.

It began to return north to Stonehaven, initially remaining on the
southbound line before crossing at Carmont onto the northbound line.
It then hit a second landslip and derailed while returning to Stonehaven.]
