    It does not say if it is permanent staff or a volunteer.
    Sad news.

    A man has died while working on overhead electricity cables at a transport museum in Derbyshire.

    Crich Tramway Village closed on Wednesday after the man, believed to be in his 60s, died at the top of a 20ft (6m) maintenance platform.

    A fire service spokesman said he suffered a suspected heart attack but there was no suspicion he had come into contact with live cables.

    The Health and Safety Executive has been called, police said.
