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.


I agree, too. Very sad news. What will happen to his Tramlink web site
now, I wonder. Is there any chance of someone taking it over and keeping
up Stephen's work?


I hope someone can take it over. But you will never find anyone with
his passion and enthusiasm for the system. I really hope that his site
can be carried on by someone and that Croydon Tramlink will
acknowledge and mark his passing in some way.
