Jack Spriggs 300
A MERSEYRAIL train has been named in memory of a former Liverpool Lord Mayor.
Jack Spriggs was Merseytravel vice-chairman from 2005 until his death in December 2009.
In 1972 Cllr Spriggs made headlines when he led the famous Fisher Bendix workers sit-in, saving the plant from closure.
Merseytravel chairman Cllr Mark Dowd said: “It was my great privilege and pleasure to know Jack for many years.
“He was a great character, a caring and compassionate man whose thoughts were always for others.”
