1/1 WREATHS have been laid at Great Heck and Newcastle Railway Station in linked acts of remembrance on the 20th anniversary of the Selby train crash. Relatives and friends of the 10 drivers, train crew and passengers who died in the crash, took part in the socially distanced ceremony via YouTube. During the brief ceremony at the garden of remembrance next to the scene, a Freightliner engine named in honour of driver Steve Dunn stood motionless on the East Coast Main Line. He was one of two drivers killed in the disaster. A LNER train driven by a colleague of the other, John Weddle, sounded its horn in a long mourning note before driving slowly past at the end of a period of silence at the end of the ceremony.
