Rail companies sued for £5m over oil spill caused by derailment

More than 400,000 litres of fuel spilled in the area causing an "environmental disaster". Network Rail is suing two rail companies for more than £5m after a fuel spill caused by a train derailment threatened an "environmental disaster" at a designated site for protection. The body filed a legal claim earlier this month against DB Cargo UK and Touax Rail over the derailment near Llangennech, Carmarthenshire, in August 2020 [1].
