RAIL workers pressed for better safety measures today after Network Rail was fined nearly £4 million after two workers died in south Wales.

RMT general secretary Mick Lynch said that nothing could relieve the pain of the loss of two members who died after a train hit them while they were working on the track at Margam, near Port Talbot.

He said: “RMT will continue to press for the safest possible railway which means clear and unambiguous safety systems that protect all staff and passengers.”
