Skyblue rail workers killed RIP

Tue Jun 10, 2014 5:56 am

As some may know from media reports yesterday three people died on the M4 on route from work about 4:30am. I knew one of them but not the other two and another is being kept alive as I'm saying this, anyone who works on the rails knows what life it brings so RIP to them who died near junction 17 yesterday. A sad day for all men out on the ground yesterday :(
