Network Rail was fined £3.75 million for failing to protect workers, leading to two deaths in 2019.

Network Rail was fined £3.75 million for the deaths of two track workers, Gareth Delbridge and Michael 'Spike' Lewis, hit by a train in 2019 near Port Talbot. The court found Network Rail failed to implement proper safety measures despite knowing the risks since 2017. The company admitted its role and has since made improvements, reducing near misses with trains from 60 to 22 per year.
