It has been an honour to join families and survivors of the Hatfield Rail Crash in the chapel of Hatfield House for a memorial service this morning, on the 25th anniversary of the tragedy.

Afterwards we laid flowers at the memorial and at 12.23pm, the time of the crash, held a minute’s silence. We remember the four men who died in the crash, the people who were injured and everyone who was touched by the tragedy.

A plaque which reads This memorial garden has been created in memory of those who died in the Hatfield rail tragedy on October 17th, 2000. Please treat it with respect.

🚲 Pleased to support the launch of LNER Beryl Bikes in Leeds. More e-bikes and bays make it simpler for people to cut congestion and pollution, and enjoy our brilliant city.

The bikes are parked outside Leeds Train Station and across the city.
