An investigation into a crash involving the Flying Scotsman train has ruled the driver “did not control the speed” of the engine.
The 100-year-old steam locomotive crashed into a set of stationary Belmond’s Royal Scotsman passenger carriages last September while approaching platform three at Aviemore Station in the Highlands.
Two people were treated in hospital “as a precaution” after the crash and rail services were disrupted for a number of days.
The collision also caused minor damage to the locomotive’s fuel and water car, known as its tender, and damage to the coaches involved, which were taken out of service.
