I regret to say that I have just been informed that he was killed
today in a road crash, being the driver of the Vauxhall mentioned
in

What dreadful news, Clive. Stephen was a valued contributor to this
group at one time and, although I never met him in person, I read
(and participated) in some of his discussions. I had heard about an
accident affecting Hitchin on the R2 travel news this morning.

A tragic loss for his family, at such a young age. My condolences
to all those who did know Stephen, he always came across as a very
articulate and intelligent young man.

That is indeed very sad news. Stephen's site
http://www.croydon-tramlink.co.uk/ has always been my automatic
choice for information about Tramlink, and one of its pleasures
was that Stephen's enthusiasm shone through on every page.

Thanks, Clive, for letting us know.


That's terribly sad news. Like a great many others I am familiar with
Stephen Parascandolo's name as the creator of the splendid "Unofficial
Tramlink" website - an outstanding resource that is the first point of
call for anyone with an interest in the system. Recently I was reading
some of his past posts here on utl and the writing was just as
eloquent and considered as that on the website. To echo Jack Taylor's
comments, he came across as an engaging and unpresumptuous gentleman.

He turned his passion for railways into a career as a signal engineer.
His personal webpage is now a rather poignant read:

My utmost condolences to his family and friends.
