A PLAQUE commemorating railway workers who were killed while on duty was unveiled at Hereford Railway Station on International Workers Memorial Day today following a RMT union campaign.

The memorial lists the names of seven workers who died in various accidents near or at the cathedral city station between 1851 and 1928.

Leominster & Hereford RMT branch secretary James McLelland said that most of the railway workers were killed due to being expected or ordered on to tracks without a lookout for oncoming trains.
