Memorial unveiled to rail crash victims

A crowd of more than a 100 people attended the ceremony yesterday at Driffield Memorial Gardens yesterday. The disaster happened on July 26, 1986, after a train struck a van and de-railed at Lockington, near Beverley.

Richard Jones, one of those who campaigned for the memorial, said he hoped it would bring some closure to those affected.

"It is something that they have waited for for a long time," he said.
