The huge coastal defence scheme costing ?30 million has been planned | :00:21. | :00:28. | |
for a stretch of the Norfolk coast. And the settled but rather cloudy | :00:29. | :00:33. | |
outlook. Join me for the details later. | :00:34. | :00:35. | |
Rail passengers travelling into London from Essex, | :00:36. | :00:39. | |
Suffolk and Norfolk are facing up to five months of delays | :00:40. | :00:41. | |
From January a replacement bus service from Essex into London | :00:42. | :00:49. | |
will be in operation every Saturday and Sunday. | :00:50. | :00:53. | |
Journey times will be an hour longer. | :00:54. | :00:57. | |
The reason, a ?250 million project to make the railway more reliable | :00:58. | :01:01. | |
Half term and Ipswich station is a hive of activity. | :01:02. | :01:11. | |
No disruption on the trains today, but in a few weeks | :01:12. | :01:14. | |
Network Rail have announced that from January until March buses | :01:15. | :01:19. | |
will replace trains every wdekend from Essex into London. | :01:20. | :01:22. | |
And from March until May the disruption will continud | :01:23. | :01:24. | |
This work needs to be done to bring the real we enter 50% of normal | :01:25. | :01:48. | |
passengers travel at Christmas. the real we enter 50% of normal | :01:49. | :01:49. | |
passengers travel at Christlas. This passengers travel at Christlas. This | :01:50. | :01:50. | |
is the most sensible time to do it. A better service for | :01:51. | :01:54. | |
the region in the long run, but an inconvenience | :01:55. | :01:57. | |
for passengers short term. It will stop us either | :01:58. | :02:02. | |
going in or we will have to end up The cost is just as | :02:03. | :02:05. | |
high, no reduction. We decided to take the train, | :02:06. | :02:09. | |
but next time I will take the car. The multi million pound upgrade | :02:10. | :02:19. | |
programme includes replacing overhead wires to make | :02:20. | :02:23. | |
journeys more reliable. A new platform will be built | :02:24. | :02:25. | |
at Shenfield and sidings for new air conditioned trahns, | :02:26. | :02:27. | |
part of the Crossrail Project. It will mean big benefits | :02:28. | :02:34. | |
for Essex commuters, providing direct journeys | :02:35. | :02:35. | |
into London and beyond. Tunnels will link the east and west | :02:36. | :02:37. | |
sides of the capital, While rail campaign groups | :02:38. | :02:40. | |
welcome the improvements, they are also urging Network Rail | :02:41. | :02:50. | |
to consider alternative plans. There is no pain without gahn, | :02:51. | :02:52. | |
but I think real users as a whole are getting fed up with the amount | :02:53. | :02:56. | |
of disruption they are getthng at weekends and they were rdally | :02:57. | :02:59. | |
like an alternative to busses. The advice from Network Rail today | :03:00. | :03:04. | |
is to check with the train A new airline is to begin flying | :03:05. | :03:07. | |
from Southend Airport. CityJet will offer up to 18 | :03:08. | :03:18. | |
new European destinations bringing This is potentially a big deal | :03:19. | :03:21. | |
for Southend Airport. CityJet is an Irish regional airline | :03:22. | :03:35. | |
which operates mainly out It plans to introduce a mixture | :03:36. | :03:37. | |
of business and leisure flights to the Essex airport | :03:38. | :03:41. | |
from April next year, bringing a big boost | :03:42. | :03:43. | |
to passenger numbers. The destinations are being worked | :03:44. | :03:47. | |
through but there will be Etropean destinations and we are looking | :03:48. | :03:50. | |
towards 18 new destinations which is double what we have today | :03:51. | :03:53. | |
and it will create up to 600,00 additional passengers | :03:54. | :03:57. | |
through Southend Airport. Southend are seeing Andrew million | :03:58. | :04:04. | |
pounds worth of investment from the Stobart Group in rdcent | :04:05. | :04:15. | |
years, it has brought a new control tower, | :04:16. | :04:18. | |
terminal and railway station. Passenger numbers took off | :04:19. | :04:19. | |
when easyJet started The budget airline and Flybe | :04:20. | :04:21. | |
operate to a total of 19 Carrying a million | :04:22. | :04:33. | |
passengers a year. The arrival of CityJet | :04:34. | :04:36. | |
could increase that by 60%. News that may concern | :04:37. | :04:38. | |
local residents. Some of whom oppose | :04:39. | :04:39. | |
the airport expansion. A huge coastal defence scheme | :04:40. | :04:45. | |
costing about ?30 million is being planned for a stretch | :04:46. | :04:48. | |
of the Norfolk coast. It would involve pumping millions | :04:49. | :04:51. | |
of tonnes of sand ashore to protect the Bacton gas terminal | :04:52. | :04:54. | |
and neighbouring villages. It's a vital piece of | :04:55. | :04:58. | |
national infrastructure. Nearly a third of all the g`s we use | :04:59. | :05:03. | |
is piped into Bacton gas terminal. Unthinkable then that this | :05:04. | :05:07. | |
could fall into sea. Sea defences have failed, | :05:08. | :05:11. | |
beach levels have dropped. Which is why a radical solution | :05:12. | :05:18. | |
to protect the terminal and the neighbouring villagds | :05:19. | :05:21. | |
of Walcott and Bacton On the Dutch coast huge | :05:22. | :05:23. | |
quantities of sand have been The natural movement of the waves | :05:24. | :05:36. | |
and tides then carries this sacrificial material down the coast, | :05:37. | :05:45. | |
maintaining beach levels, providing protection | :05:46. | :05:48. | |
from storms and tidal surges. We are so close now that I cannot | :05:49. | :05:53. | |
see it not happening. It hasn't happened as quickly | :05:54. | :06:04. | |
as I would have liked or indeed as the terminal would like, | :06:05. | :06:12. | |
which is why they're having to put temporary protection in casd | :06:13. | :06:15. | |
of winter storms this year. At Bacton, 2.3 million | :06:16. | :06:18. | |
cubic metres of sand The estimated cost of | :06:19. | :06:21. | |
the sandscaping is around ?30 North Norfolk Council needs to raise | :06:22. | :06:26. | |
approximately ?6 million to protect It is facing a shortfall | :06:27. | :06:47. | |
of up to three million. We are waiting for the Autuln | :06:48. | :06:51. | |
Statement to see whether the Also whether gas companies | :06:52. | :06:54. | |
are willing to contribute. Without contributions | :06:55. | :06:57. | |
from government and gas companies, this will not go ahead | :06:58. | :06:59. | |
and that is disturbing. The scheme, which would be a first | :07:00. | :07:01. | |
for Britain, has the backing If the funding can be agreed, | :07:02. | :07:04. | |
work could start And we'll have more on that story | :07:05. | :07:07. | |
in the Sunday Politics this Sunday A young fin whale washed | :07:08. | :07:14. | |
up at Holkham beach The carcass was found last Thursday | :07:15. | :07:18. | |
and became a tourist attraction. Mild temperatures caused it | :07:19. | :07:22. | |
to decompose rapidly so Natural England wanted to remove | :07:23. | :07:24. | |
it as soon as possible. Early this morning, specialhsts | :07:25. | :07:26. | |
took it to a rendering We are approaching that time of year | :07:27. | :07:29. | |
when many people wear poppids to remember those who have served | :07:30. | :07:39. | |
and made sacrifices But the poppy isn't just a symbol | :07:40. | :07:41. | |
of the two world wars. One of the faces of this year's | :07:42. | :07:47. | |
Poppy Appeal is a former soldier from Essex who was shot | :07:48. | :07:50. | |
in the eye in Afghanistan Sam Stock didn't fall | :07:51. | :07:53. | |
into the Army, he ran into it. From a young age it was pretty much | :07:54. | :07:58. | |
all he wanted to do. In 2009, he found himself | :07:59. | :08:03. | |
in Afghanistan searching for IEDs, inprovised explosve devices, | :08:04. | :08:07. | |
a few weeks later he found inprovised explosve devices. | :08:08. | :08:15. | |
A few weeks later he found himself in hospital - | :08:16. | :08:17. | |
he'd been shot in the eye, One moment I was in Afghanistan | :08:18. | :08:21. | |
the next I was back in England I asked what she was | :08:22. | :08:28. | |
doing in Afghanistan. Sam emerged from a coma | :08:29. | :08:33. | |
with brain damage. If he survived, he would no longer | :08:34. | :08:39. | |
be a soldier. The tiredness and forgetfulness, | :08:40. | :08:43. | |
I would have been more One minute my mates were thdre, | :08:44. | :08:55. | |
the next I was in hospital. This is the film that tells Sam's | :08:56. | :09:06. | |
story for this year's Poppy Appeal. We're led into thinking he's | :09:07. | :09:09. | |
talking about himself, That's the thing with | :09:10. | :09:15. | |
the British Legion. They're helping those injured | :09:16. | :09:32. | |
in conflicts and those who have That is the brilliant thing | :09:33. | :09:34. | |
about the British Legion, Those who served and sacrifhced | :09:35. | :09:39. | |
in the first and second world wars will always be remembered, | :09:40. | :09:55. | |
but the poppy, worn with pride, is there to make sure | :09:56. | :09:57. | |
that young veterans, people like Sam, will also | :09:58. | :09:59. | |
never be forgotten. You can see all those videos | :10:00. | :10:01. | |
in full online. We are back in Breakfast | :10:02. | :10:03. | |

you with Alex with the weather. It is looking mostly drive. | :10:07. | :10:17. | |
Temperatures getting into shngle figures across many counties to 90. | :10:18. | :10:22. | |
Could be some mist and fog patches developing, although they are not | :10:23. | :10:26. | |
expected to be as widespread as last night. High-pressure still keeping | :10:27. | :10:29. | |
our outlook settled, but we might end up with some cloud. This weather | :10:30. | :10:35. | |

rain or drizzle is to the Northern counties. The rest of the region | :10:43. | :10:43. | |
counties. The rest of the rdgion looks as though it will stay dry. | :10:44. | :10:44. | |
looks as though it will stax dry. Hopefully some brighter spells. | :10:45. | :10:49. | |
Temperature is around 15 degrees, so very mild indeed. The mild theme | :10:50. | :10:54. | |
continues. The National fordcast is continues. The National fordcast is | :10:55. | :11:00. | |
