    Both Roy Kennet and Mark Connolly have been found guilty by a jury in Newcastle of the manslaughter of four railway workers at Tebay on the WCML in Cumbria in 2004.

    Connolly, 44, has been jailed for 9 years and Kennet, 29, for two years

    Supt Alistair Cumming, of British Transport Police, condemned Connolly for his greed and "blatant and premeditated disregard for safety".

    The Rail Maritime and Transport Union said the case had shown how easy railway safety could be breached following privatisation.
