Month: February 2021

20th Anniversary of the Great Heck Rail Crash

 

There will be two Memorial Events for the 20th Anniversary of the Great Heck Rail Crash on Sunday 28th February 2021.

The 20th anniversary of the Great Heck Rail Crash will be remembered with commemorative events taking place at Newcastle upon Tyne Central Railway Station, the Great Heck Memorial Garden, and in Selby Abbey.

National coronavirus regulations and lockdown restrictions in England severely limit what is legally permissible, so these acts of remembrance will be live-streamed.

UPDATE:

Tony Thompson advises that the Great Heck 20th anniversary memorial service on Sunday went well.
