 ​Manchester railwaymen honoured at Piccadilly Train station as new war memorial unveiled
·        13:15, 4 MAY 2016

Families gathered to see the tribute which bears the name of the 87 men who died World War One
Manchester railwaymen who died fighting in the First World War were honoured with a new memorial at Piccadilly railway station.
Their families, transport officials and army veterans gathered to see the unveiling of the new tribute by rail buff and former Conservative deputy leader Michael Portillo.
In a reflective moment, they also laid wreaths before the memorial, which bears the names of 87 men who died, before relatives gathered on the stage - a poignant reminder of the men’s legacy.
The men, aged between 18 and 45, all worked for the London and North Western Railway at the station’s Goods Depot.
The memorial replaces a bronze plaque which disappeared 50 years ago during a station renovation - to the ‘great shame’ of the industry.
Stressing the importance of the memorial, Mr Portillo said: “The men who served the railways in the 19th and 20th centuries were typically brave and resourceful people strongly dedicated to public service so when the call came in 1914 for men to serve the flag that railwaymen were so numerous and prominent in stepping forward.”
