I believe there weren't too many people on it,which in itself is a small miracle,been on the Glasgow bound train many a time and it's usually heaving with people,poor driver though  :'(

So I understand.   A photo released by the Rail Company at 8.49 a.m. show the line flooded so why did the train be allowed to proceed?

I think the driver saw a landslide going south then changed tracks and started heading back to Aberdeen,sadly he hit it that way instead

MayB that slide happened when the train went past, causing vibration = slippage.  It may have been clear on the way out.  3 dead, 6 in hospital.
