Does anyone recall and incident in the mid 1960s regarding a trip to Manchester, in which, I believe 3 lads from the company were killed when the coach in which they were travelling broke down on the Manchester viaduct? Apparently, it was dangerously foggy and the lads jumped over the wall to take a field break, not realizing that they were on the viaduct and fell to their deaths. I do recall the name of one of the lads, however, I do not wish to name him in case there are still relatives on this site. I am curious if anyone knows more about this incident.
Hi Chris, they were on an apprentice trip to Blackpool for the weekend, lost one of my mates at the age of 17 that fateful day. I only know of one who died. I also knew his dad really well from my junior football days.
