Result of the H&S charges - Network Rail found guilty, individual managers found not guilty. Balfour Beatty pleaded guilty.

So the companies get the whack, the fine on Network Rail will come out of the taxpayer's pocket, Balfour Beatty shareholders will take a slight hit and one of the most appalling cases of negligence in British transport history ends with no one getting put in jail (and believe me, someone deserves to be).

Bleagh.
