Network Rail has been fined £3.75m for health and safety breaches that led to the death of two track workers in south Wales in 2019.

The workers were killed when struck by a train after starting an “unnecessary maintenance activity” on the south Wales mainline while it was still being used, with no lookouts posted to warn them.
