Croydon tram no.2535 was named "Stephen Parascandalo" in a ceremony at the
non-preferred platform of Beckenham Junction tram stop this afternoon.

The name commemorates the founder of the unofficial Tramlink website,
signaling engineer and poster to these groups, who was killed in a car
crash in February - today's naming was on what would have been his 27th
birthday.

Tramlink general manager Roger Harding said the board had been unanimous
in wanting to commemorate Stephen, and the contribution the website -
http://www.croydon-tramlink.co.uk - had made in "capturing the imagination
of everyone" involved with Tramlink.

Interesting how things turn out - IIRC Tramlink's 'learned friends' were
writing to Stephen at one stage a few years ago...
