Some readers may recognise Stephen's name as author of the unofficial
Tramlink web site.

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
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/beds/bucks/herts/6339357.stm.




Very sad news, I've read Stephen's posts (and seen his photos) for many
years on UTL.

I wonder whether the there'll be any "official" notices of condolences on
the various TfL / FirstGroup pages. It would be nice if there were, but it
would be extremely cynical, after the way Stephen's site was treated - I'm
remembering when he had to remove all his news archives following legal
threats.

If I were in charge I'd name one of the trams Parasacandolo in memory. It's
a brilliant name for a tram too - imagine it on the top in nice bronze
lettering. Hope someone from there is reading this.....
