More Selby train crash victims expected to be named

Police are expected to name more victims of the Selby train crash, as recovery teams continued to clear the tangled wreckage.

Accident investigators hope the freight train's "black box" data recorder will provide vital clues to the tragedy which killed at least 10 passengers.

An interim report by the Health and Safety Executive into the cause of the crash is also expected.

The names of six victims have been officially released. They are: church warden Christopher Terry, 30 of York; IT manager Robert Shakespeare from Beverley, East Yorkshire; GNER train driver John Weddle, from Throckley, near Newcastle; buffet car chef Paul Taylor, from the Newcastle area; GNER customer operations leader Raymond Robson, 43, from Whitley Bay; and goods train driver Stephen Dunn, 39, from Brayton, Selby.

University professor Steve Baldwin was feared to have died in the crash after staff at Teesside University said he had been missing after apparently boarding the doomed Newcastle-to-London train.
