Statement:
Robin Gisby, managing director of network operations, Network Rail, said:
"Today we remember the terrible tragedy at Grayrigg in 2007 and the tragic death of Margaret Masson. Network Rail has not hidden from its responsibilities – the company quickly accepted that it was a fault with the infrastructure that caused the accident. We again apologise to Mrs Masson's family.
"Since the derailment Network Rail has worked closely with the authorities, conducted comprehensive and detailed investigations and made substantial changes to its maintenance regime. Today there is no safer form of travel than rail and it is important that the rail industry seeks ways to make it safer still."
