It has been suggested that corporate manslaughter charges should be an option in similar cases in the future.
Among the specific findings, highlighted in court was the fact that a drainage system in the area was incorrectly installed by the giant construction firm Carillion, which has since gone into liquidation.
The judge, Lord Matthews, said no penalty he could impose could compensate for the loss suffered by the families of those who died and of the six people on board the train who were injured. Network Rail is in charge of rail infrastructure across the UK, so it's having to make sweeping changes in response to this crash.Several more, they say, await approval by rail regulators. The rest, they claim will be in place in the next two years, or will fall to rail operators to implement.
Network rail point to lessons learned: more investment in front-line inspection teams, and remote monitoring systems to bring early alerts from danger areas.
