Obituary

John Crawford


It is with regret we announce the passing of one of our Friends of Broadway Station.

John had worked on the Station for many years helping with the design, planning and hands on in the construction.

Here are a few photos of him taken over the years.




































































We offer our condolences to John's family at this very difficult time.
John will be greatly missed.

  2. Very sad to hear this. I believe he designed the station building? Forgive me if I'm wrong. RIP John, you've left a fitting testament to your work in the amazing station that you built.

  4. Broadway Station and CRC Platform 2 would never have been built without him. His design and build the signal box and station are a testament to John's contribution to Broadway. I will miss him
