Builder Gary Hart was today found guilty of causing the deaths of ten people by dangerous driving in the Selby train crash.
Hart was convicted on all ten counts at Leeds Crown Court by a majority of ten to two.
The jury of seven women and five men reached the verdicts on day 12 of the trial after almost 12 hours of deliberation.
They had heard how Hart, 37, of Strubby, Lincs, had spent the night before tha crash on the telephone to a woman he had met over the Internet.
He then drove having had no sleep all night and the prosecution alleged that he fell asleep at the wheel.
Six passengers and four crew died in the crash on February 28 this year when Hart's Land Rover left the M62 motorway and crashed onto the east coast main line, causing an express train to collide with a loaded goods train at high speed.
