Metrolink Fatality

[northernrail]

Last night at around 2305 Blind Gary Thompson, 33 was killed by a tram at St Peters Sqaure, it is thought that he misjudged the platform edge.
RAIB have apparently been informed, My thoughts are with the family and friends and driver involved.

If your comment is a 'dig' at the guy who has lost his life, I find it very distasteful and totally uncalled for.

How is it his fault?

Sorry people had to read those awful comments by 'kyrano' . This individual is no longer permitted to post on this site.

However no-one reported this, and I only came across it because I had dealt with another incident involving this individual and looked through his other posts.

Please, if you see anything inappropriate like that don't hesitate to press the report button (

) which is in the bottom-left of each post, and submit a report to us. Please don't leave it to someone else (if more than one person reports, the system amalgamates them into one report so we can see that several people are unhappy with a post). Such language may be tolerated elsewhere, but it will not be tolerated here.
