Integrity, Cover-up & withheld documents. Hmmmm, where have I heard that before
He said that if Network Rail had behaved with any integrity, it would have reduced their pain.
"If they had acted with integrity and said 'we knew, we are sorry', it would not have brought the girls back but at least it would have been honourable and we could have got on with our lives.
"This is not about anything other than making the railways safer and making the truth come out."
Chris Bazlinton, 63, Olivia's father, said that they were "angry" that the company had withheld documents from them.
"We still have a lot of questions we want answered – 'who knew about this?' 'how high did the cover-up go? … and I do believe it was a cover-up," he said.
"They withheld documents from official enquiries, they withheld documents from the coroner and this is not ending today."
& safety issues not addressed,
After the hearing David Higgins, chief executive of Network Rail, said: "Last year I apologised in person to the families of Olivia and Charlotte. "Today, Network Rail repeats that apology. In this tragic case, Network Rail accepts that it was responsible for failings, and therefore we have pleaded guilty. "Nothing we can say or do will lessen the pain felt by Olivia and Charlotte's families but I have promised them that we are committed to making our railway as safe as possible."
