As an ex-member of the Libby Travel, I remember that day very well. I consider myself very fortunate in that I actually missed the bus. I turned up late at Barton and ended up going to the match on another bus. On the way up we were diverted around the accident and later heard it was a Hibs bus that was involved. We were all shocked into silence. When I heard it was the Liberton bus and someone had died, it chilled me to the bone.
All the guys who used to travel on the Libby bus still talk about it to this day and the ones that knew Mark personally remember him fondly. I know there are a few guys on the BOUNCE who were there that day and will extend their best wishes to Marks family.
