A plaque, dedicated to the three men who died in the Stonehaven train crash has been erected at Stonehaven railway station.

Donald Dinnie, Brett McCullough and Christopher Stuchbury died on the 12th of August 2020 when the train they were travelling in struck a landslip and de-railed.

At 9:43 this morning the entirety of Scotland's railway network fell silent for a minute to remember the three men.

Diane, wife of Christopher Stuchbury said:

“The family will be spending the day together on Thursday. We will be thinking of the other families who have lost loved ones. We wish to express again our thanks for the money which was raised and donated to us. Some of it was used to erect a memorial for Chris in a place dear to his heart.”
