What a bright light Billy was in our lives since he joined our railway family only a short time ago. A life cut too short. It feels like he’s being around much longer such is the impact he has made.

Simon Bavin (Bav)

1968 - 2020

Simon joined the railway in October 1988 and worked alongside many people in his years as a telecoms engineer.  Most will remember Simon for his quick humour and love of West Ham Utd FC where he was a lifelong season ticket holder.  Simon left behind a son and two step-sons as well as his partner of 13 years.

James Howard

1950 - 2020

Jim was an important member of the team & a very colourful character, He is missed by his colleagues for his good nature & positive attitude when at work. A true gentleman.

Stephen Lane (Steve)

1959 - 2020

My Dad, our hero was taken too young at the age of just 61 from his wife Carol, two daughters Leanne & Gemma, and three grandsons Corey, Harvey and Lawson.    Steve was also a friend to many, and can only be described as a “local legend” in his home town of Blaenrhondda in Rhondda Cynon Taf.
