Tragedy in Lisbon: British Train Enthusiast from Wales Dies.

Tragedy in Elevator in Lisbon

According to The Sun: Tribute to 82-year-old Andrew David Kenneth Young from North Wales who died during a cable car accident in Lisbon was held recently.

Unfortunately, this occurred when the Glória funicular in the Portuguese capital derailed last Wednesday.

Andrew David Kenneth Young became the third victim of three Britons who died in this horrific accident, in which a total of 16 people lost their lives.

Among the dead were also a 44-year-old man and a 36-year-old woman.

There are no more British nationals needing assistance in hospitals.

“Andrew David Kenneth Young was known to everyone as Dave. He grew up in Ochterarder, Perthshire. In 1980, he moved to Holyhead, where he worked as a customs officer. As a transport enthusiast, he enjoyed visiting historical railways and tramlines around the world in retirement. This is a comfort to his sons, their mother, and siblings that his final moments were spent pursuing a hobby that brought him so much joy.”

Specialized officers are supporting Young's family, who are requesting privacy.

Among the deceased were five Portuguese, including the funicular mechanic Andre Marques, who became the first confirmed victim.

Lisbon police confirmed that the nationalities of all 16 victims were established after scientific identification.

“The victims included five Portuguese; two South Koreans; one Swiss; three Britons; two Canadians; one Ukrainian; one American; and one French.”
