The Flying Scotsman steam train returns home. | :00:09. | :00:13. | |
And the children in Bradford hoping to be the ballet stars | :00:14. | :00:16. | |
First, the owners of Alton Towers theme park could be punished over | :00:17. | :00:31. | |
an accident which seriously injured five people last year. | :00:32. | :00:34. | |
Today the company was told they will have to explain | :00:35. | :00:36. | |
what happened on the Smiler ride in June. | :00:37. | :00:39. | |
It's one the UK's biggest tourist attractions with millions of people | :00:40. | :00:46. | |
But in June 2015, the park was empty and the rides were all closed. | :00:47. | :00:56. | |
It's because of a crash which took place on this roller-coaster, | :00:57. | :00:59. | |
The Smiler, which can travel at more than 50mph. | :01:00. | :01:04. | |
Two women lost a leg and three others were seriously injured | :01:05. | :01:06. | |
when their carriage hit an empty one that was standing | :01:07. | :01:08. | |
the pain was undescribable. It hurt so much. I can still feel how it did | :01:09. | :01:23. | |
feel. Accidents on roller | :01:24. | :01:24. | |
coasters are very rare. An investigation by the theme park | :01:25. | :01:26. | |
found that the crash was caused by human error, when a worker | :01:27. | :01:29. | |
wrongly restarted the ride. The accident shut down the 500-acre | :01:30. | :01:34. | |
theme park in Staffordshire. It is the size of 500 football | :01:35. | :01:49. | |
pitches. The park says it has since brought in the better safety | :01:50. | :01:54. | |
measures but the owners, merlin attractions will now have to answer | :01:55. | :01:57. | |
questions about whether they broke rules that were there to keep people | :01:58. | :01:59. | |
safe. If anything in the news upsets | :02:00. | :01:59. | |
you head online there's And some breaking news | :02:00. | :02:01. | |
we've just got in. We've been following Lindsey | :02:02. | :02:04. | |
from Blue Peter's challenge to Zorb across the sea from Northern | :02:05. | :02:07. | |
Ireland to Scotland. We've just heard that the weather | :02:08. | :02:09. | |
conditions have forced her to stop after zorbing for an amazing | :02:10. | :02:12. | |
17 nautical miles. The Blue Peter team have told us | :02:13. | :02:15. | |
that she's safe and on her way to dry land, and they've told us | :02:16. | :02:18. | |
that they're all amazingly They said that Blue Peter | :02:19. | :02:21. | |
is all about having a go and getting stuck in, and that's what Lindsey | :02:22. | :02:25. | |

The Flying Scotsman - has set off on its journey back | :02:33. | :02:38. | |
to home to York this morning. It's taken ten years and ?4 million | :02:39. | :02:41. | |
to restore the locomotive. So many people came out to see | :02:42. | :02:44. | |
the train along the route that parts of the rail network | :02:45. | :02:47. | |
had to be closed. It's arrived back in | :02:48. | :02:49. | |

in Bradford in the hope they find They say they're looking | :02:59. | :03:02. | |

out for the first time and had Ten-year-olds in Bradford learning | :03:11. | :03:13. | |
ballet for the first time. I am enjoying how | :03:14. | :03:18. | |

a big production say that people from south Asian backgrounds are | :04:00. | :04:02. | |
