Memorials and Memories

In this bonus episode of Tangiwai: A Forgotten History, we head back to the scene of the accident as the 70th anniversary is marked in an official ceremony. And, in the weeks after the series was released, dozens of people have contacted us with their own stories from December 24th, 1953, and we share those stories here.Our thanks to all those involved in organising the memorial and the train service there.  Guests:John MahyCallum MahyRaymond OshanassyJohn ArcherRuth GreenJoan HumphriesKeith Howells  Presenter and producer: Hamish WilliamsSound engineer: Shaun D WilsonResearcher: Neesha BremnerExecutive Producers: Ethan Sills and Andrew Laxon Select music by Anthonie Tonnon.
