It is never known as the Great Heck rail crash so I have renamed to Selby, as the most popular and well-known name for this rail crash. Astrotrain 22:55, 11 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Why? It occured at Great Heck, everyone within the railways refers to it as Great Heck - only the tabloid media call it "Selby" because they have know knowledge of the railways at all!
- The general public - if they are aware of it at all - will know it as "Selby" although obviously there's no reason a redirect from "Great Heck" couldn't be set up. Nick Cooper 12:47, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Fatalities anomaly
While the introduction says, "Six passengers and four railway staff were killed," the article states, "The driver of 66521, Stephen Dunn, as well as the GNER driver, John Weddle, was killed; eight passengers also died." Nick Cooper 12:47, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
