"Justice has simply not been done by the debacle of the Hatfield trial," RMT general secretary Bob Crow said today

"Compared with the carnage caused, these fines are a paltry amount - and this is recycled public money anyway.

"Every penny that Balfour Beatty and Network Rail pay will have originated in taxpayers' and farepayers' pockets.

"In Balfour Beatty's case they will simply be paying back a fraction of the millions they have made at the public's expense, and they will give a huge corporate shrug.

"Justice will not be done until Britain has a corporate manslaughter law that holds individual executives to account for negligence that kills innocent people," Bob Crow said
