WORKERS and their unions will gather today to remember the victims of the Stonehaven rail tragedy one year on.

Aslef said the Scotrail train derailment, which claimed three lives on August 12 last year and injured six others, would be remembered by workers with enormous sadness.

Driver Brett McCullough, 45, conductor Donald Dinnie, 58, and passenger Christopher Stuchbury, 62, died when the Aberdeen to Glasgow Queen Street train crashed into a landslide across the tracks near Stonehaven, Aberdeenshire, following heavy rain.
