A 27-year-old man from Maidstone has been arrested on suspicion of manslaughter over the deaths of four railway workers.

British Transport Police have revealed the man, along with a 42-year-old man from Angelsey in North Wales, is being interviewed at a police station in Lancashire.

The trolley, used for loading lengths of rail, rolled downhill from a rail yard near Tebay in Cumbria and ploughed into the men on Sunday 15 February. The men were working on maintenance for the West Coast main line.

The victims were Chris Walters, aged 53, Gary Tindall, 46, Colin Buckley, 49, and Darren Burgess, who was 30.

The two men being questioned have not been identified by police and it has not yet been revealed if they were working for one of the firms involved in the work.
