Rail killing charges thrown out

Four people died in the crash in October 2000
Charges against five rail bosses accused of the manslaughter of four people who died in the Hatfield train disaster have been thrown out.

A corporate manslaughter charge against engineering firm Balfour Beatty was also dismissed by the Old Bailey judge.

But the five men, together with their employers, Balfour Beatty and Railtrack, which became Network Rail, still face health and safety charges.

Four people died in 2000 after a train derailed near the Hertfordshire town. "
