An inquiry hearing heard there is no dispute around a Rail Accident Investigation Branch (RAIB) report into the incident.
The sheriff also discussed the Norfolk principle and the extent to which it applies in Scotland.
However, sheriff Johnston said she was not persuaded the Norfolk principle should be applied “wholesale”.
