A WIRRAL man has been questioned under caution in connection with the tragic death of teenager Georgia Varley who lost her life at James Street train station.

The 44-year-old Merseyrail worker was interviewed by officers last Thursday and Friday.

He has now been released on police bail until January, pending further investigations.

Birkenhead Sixth Form student Georgia died on Saturday, October 22 when she fell between a train and the platform at around 11.30pm.

The 16-year-old had been on her way to Liverpool for a night out with friends.

Following her tragic death, friends hailed her as “beautiful” and “perfect” while her tutors at college said she had a bright future.

A Merseyrail spokesman confirmed that a member of staff has been questioned by police.

The spokesman said: “Merseyrail and its staff will continue to co-operate fully with British Transport Police to ensure that the full facts are established as soon as possible so that Georgia’s family and friends can find answers to exactly what happened and help them to come to terms with their loss.

“British Transport Police will decide on any next steps in this process. We extend our deepest sympathy to Georgia's family and friends at this difficult time.”

An inquest into Georgia’s death was adjourned by Liverpool Coroner Andre Rebello until December 13.

On a Facebook tribute page, one friend wrote: “By far one of the most beautiful people ever given to us, she always make people smile and knew what to say , I’m thankful that I was lucky to be a part of such an amazing person’s life.”

And another said: “This can't be happening :( it’s like one of those nightmares that you wake up from and forget all about, I'm still waiting to wake up! You’re an angel Gee, down here or up there! To say you were one in a million wouldn't do you enough justice, was only yesterday we were talking, makes me feel empty to think you've gone.”
