Son forgives rail crash worker

THE son of a Scots woman killed in the Grayrigg rail crash said he has forgiven the trackman who did not check the line properly.

George Masson's mother, Margaret, 84, from Glasgow, died when the London to Glasgow Virgin Pendolino derailed on the West Coast Main Line in 2007.

Eighty-six passengers and two crew were injured after the train went over degraded points at 92mph and careered down an embankment in Cumbria.
