CALLS are growing for a public inquiry after four local men were killed by a runaway wagon as they worked on the West Coast Mainline at Tebay, in the early hours of Sunday morning.
Police have released the names of the men who were killed in the crash. They were Gary Tindall, 46, from Tebay, Chris Waters, 54, from Morecambe, Colin Buckley, 49, from Carnforth, and 30-year-old Darren Burgess, also from Carnforth.
Railway workers union, the RMT, are demanding a public inquiry into the incident and are also calling for a suspension of all similar works on lines across the country.
