A 27-year old man from Maidstone held on suspicion of manslaughter over the deaths of four railworkers has been freed on police bail.
British Transport Police have confimed the man, along with a 42-year old man from Anglesey in North Wales, have been ordered to report back in May.
Both were questioned at a police station in Lancashire on Tuesday in connection with last month’s tragedy on the West Coast Main Line at Tebay, Cumbria, on Sunday, February 15
The four rail workers who died were carrying out overnight maintenance work and were crushed after being struck by a flatbed trolley used to load lengths of rail. They were Chris Walters, aged 53, Gary Tindall, 46, Colin Buckley, 49, and Darren Burgess, who was 30. All were from the Lancashire area.
The two men questioned have not been officially named by police and it has not been confirmed if they were working for one of the firms involved in the work.
Investigations by the Health and Safety Executive and British Transport Police are still ongoing. A forensic examination of the trailer at a laboratory in Derbyshire found the brakes were not working.
