Very sad news
 

With great regret steam driver/fireman and diesel driver Paul Kane collapsed and died while firing A4 60019 from York to Kings Cross on Saturday night.

Paul was a Carlisle man from the days of steam who I spent a good deal of time with. His knowledge, laughter and advise will be greatly missed.

RIP Paul. The trip to mallaig will never be the same....

My deepest sympathy and sincere condolences to the family and friends of Paul. RIP.

My god, that is very bad news.
Sincere condolences to his family and may he rest in peace.

Long may his memories live on.

RIP Paul and condolences to his Family, friends and colleagues.

His exploits were near legendary, one of the very best. RIP.

Bill.

A sad day for the steam world. May he rest in peace and my condolences go to friends, collegues and family.

May I ask if he was the regular fireman for the Jacobite?

RIP
 

No sfe, he was one of the 2 regular drivers of the jacobite, although he did love firing - and was extremly good at it to.

As I said, the trip to mallaig will never be the same, nor will the singing of 'whos afraid of beasdale bank' after succesfully reaching the summit!!!

Thank you Paul. RIP.

Best wishes,

John H-T.

Sad news indeed. My condolences to his family and friends. RIP Paul.
