EVERY parent's nightmare came true at the weekend when popular Liphook teenager Tim Breach died on a railway line after a night out with friends. Messages have been pouring in to Tim's family from his many friends. They have paid tribute to the bright, friendly teenager whose passions included Liverpool Football Club and Shakespeare and who was about to embark on an English Literature degree at the University of Kent. It is still unclear how Tim came to be alone at Godalming station after midnight on Friday, but it is thought that he missed the last train home. His body was discovered on the line at 4.30 am when a train driver travelling south from Guildford to Portsmouth raised the alarm. A spokesman for British Transport Police said: "At 4.30 am on Saturday morning a call was received saying that there was a person lying on the Portsmouth bound line. The driver of an empty train travelling from Guildford to Havant reported striking a body on the line." The spokesman said emergency services rushed to the scene and found the body of the teenager on the line. His injuries were consistent with having been struck by a train and the incident was not being treated as suspicious. His mother Vanessa told The Herald: "Tim had been out with his mates, he had many friends and he often stayed over with them. So it was not unusual when I popped my head round his bedroom door on Saturday morning before I went to work and he wasn't there. I thought he had stayed the night with a friend. Then later Ray arrived at work with the police." She said he had intended to meet friends he had been with at the Reading Festival the weekend before and she did not know how he came to be alone at Godalming station. "He never went out on his own, he was always with friends, but for some reason he was at Godalming station and missed the last train. He used to ring his dad for a lift home, Ray would go all over the place for him." Tim lived in Yeoman's Lane at Liphook with his parents Ray and Vanessa, well known producer of Liphook' hugely popular Methodist Amateur panto for more than a decade, and his older sister and brother Bethany and Alex. Tim was born at Liss and lived in Liphook all his life. His social life started at the Opportunity Group at the Peak Centre and continued at Liphook Methodist Playgroup, Infant and Junior schools. He went to Bohunt School and then briefly to Alton College finishing his A levels at South Downs College. This week Vanessa paid her own tribute to her son: " Tim was highly intelligent and has just been confirmed a place at the University of Kent where he was to study English Literature including one of his passions, Shakespeare. His greatest passion though, after Liverpool Football Club, was meeting, making and keeping friends. Tim was kind, funny, loving and loyal, always the first one to offer a hug if it were needed and loved nothing more than gathering together all his friends around him to spend time together. He had just spent the best weekend of my life at Reading Festival. His future was gleaming in front of him. Reading through the hundreds of tributes that have been received it is obvious that Tim touched so many lives, always in the very best way, and he will never be forgotten. His family and friends are devastated by the tragedy and wish to thank everyone for their condolences and messages of sympathy." Among the many tributes paid to Tim on Facebook this week is a poignant message from his sister Bethany: "Though Timmy was taken from us so suddenly, the laughter and the happiness that surrounded him will always remain in our hearts. "He made such an impression on everybody he met and he left behind hundreds of happy people and it would upset him to think that we are all so sad."
