Network Rail forced to apologise to families
Network Rail has shown 'a callous disregard' for families suffering
The head of Network Rail made a "full and unreserved apology" yesterday to families bereaved by level crossing accidents after MPs made a scathing attack on the firm.
House of Commons transport committee chair Louise Ellman said Network Rail had shown "a callous disregard" for families suffering from level crossing accidents.
A report by the committee highlighted the treatment of the families of Olivia Bazlinton, 14, and Charlotte Thompson, 13, who were killed at Elsenham crossing in Essex in December 2005.
