cancer, in his final days hd set up a charity to help fellow`sufferers | :01:41. | :01:46. | |
in his native North East. Among the thousands | :01:47. | :01:51. | |
of people to have benefited from Sir Bobby's legacy is Theresa H`rrison | :01:52. | :01:53. | |
from Forest Hall in Newcastle. When Theresa was first diagnosed | :01:54. | :01:57. | |
with pancreatic cancer ` nearly two years ago ` | :01:58. | :01:59. | |
she naturally feared the worst. But after weekly treatment | :02:00. | :02:03. | |

about coming in here. I can't come in here fast enough! The support you | :02:35. | :02:43. | |
get is just unreal. Reflexology, everybody is so caring. | :02:44. | :02:46. | |
And if only Sir Bobby could have been | :02:47. | :02:49. | |
around to hear Theresa talk about what happens here on a daily basis, | :02:50. | :02:52. | |
They are amazing. You will never get treatment like you get in here. They | :02:53. | :03:04. | |
treatment like you get in hdre. They speak to you, they lay your flares. | :03:05. | :03:13. | |
`` the LA your fears. They are angels. | :03:14. | :03:15. | |
It seems the great man left a culture of care, and real friendly | :03:16. | :03:29. | |
compassion, which is now a part of everything that happens herd. | :03:30. | :03:32. | |

They are so caring. I would say to Lady Robson, your husband has given | :03:45. | :03:44. | |
Lady Robson, your husband h`s given me two years. He has left a huge | :03:45. | :03:50. | |
legacy. I wish I could have met him and I wish he could have bedn here | :03:51. | :03:53. | |

job, carrying on the fundraising effort and helping to steer the | :04:10. | :04:12. | |
In a rare television interview, I got the chance to ask her about life | :04:13. | :04:16. | |
without the man who's still held in such great affection ` not just | :04:17. | :04:20. | |
in this part of the country, but across the whole football world. | :04:21. | :04:41. | |
Possibly, but I have always been busy. | :04:42. | :04:45. | |
You have been thrown into the spotlight as well, | :04:46. | :04:51. | |
which is not something you have looked for, is it? | :04:52. | :04:53. | |
You don't know how things are going so we plodded on | :04:54. | :06:28. | |
I think he would be astonished to know what we have raised. | :06:29. | :06:32. | |
I don't think he attributed it to himself but he made his lark | :06:33. | :06:44. | |
Well, we go on and hopefully keep raising more money for this really | :06:45. | :06:56. | |
excellent cause to benefit the North East and the patients who are | :06:57. | :07:02. | |
Did you say to him, you know you are going to leave me | :07:03. | :07:07. | |
And it is a great opportunity to put something back as a famhly. | :07:08. | :07:22. | |
Sir Bobby Robson, who died five years ago today. | :07:23. | :07:40. | |
The RMT transport union was protesting | :07:41. | :07:45. | |
in Newcastle today against possible changes to the Northern | :07:46. | :07:47. | |
The Department for Transport is currently | :07:48. | :07:50. | |
New franchises will start in February 2016. | :07:51. | :07:53. | |
But the RMT claims Department proposals will see services | :07:54. | :07:55. | |
destroyed, with harsh cuts to services at little`used stations. | :07:56. | :07:59. | |
Our business correspondent, Ian Reeve, reports. | :08:00. | :08:05. | |
They claim changes to the Northern and Trans`Pennine services will see | :08:06. | :08:09. | |
staff cut, fares increased and fewer trains | :08:10. | :08:12. | |
We want to maintain stations across the North for the benefit of local | :08:13. | :08:28. | |
communities. Communications are essential to the North of England | :08:29. | :08:30. | |
and we have to fight to savd essential to the North of England | :08:31. | :08:31. | |
and we have to fight to save them and we have to fight to save them | :08:32. | :08:32. | |
and that is what we are doing. Both franchises will be awarded next | :08:33. | :08:34. | |
year, and start in February 2016. But the Department for Transport | :08:35. | :08:40. | |
consultation document seeks support But that could come | :08:41. | :08:42. | |
"at the expense of some redtction in What that means is | :08:43. | :08:48. | |
"fewer calls at low`use stations". This is Castleton Moor, a low`use | :08:49. | :08:55. | |
station in North Yorkshire on Just 13 passengers a day usd | :08:56. | :08:58. | |
the halt. Not many, | :08:59. | :09:02. | |
but they intend to fight for it There is no bus service. There are | :09:03. | :09:10. | |
only four trains a day alre`dy. And only four trains a day already. And | :09:11. | :09:18. | |
some of the trains have to stop to pick up children. `` schoolchildren. | :09:19. | :09:22. | |
So there are only a small number pick up children. `` schoolchildren. | :09:23. | :09:24. | |
So there are only a small number of stops on the line. | :09:25. | :09:25. | |
Amy's pub benefits from the railway line running close by. | :09:26. | :09:27. | |
Fewer stopping trains would hit her business. | :09:28. | :09:32. | |
It would definitely have a lassive impact. And the whole community, we | :09:33. | :09:36. | |
impact. And the whole community we get stuck in the village because you | :09:37. | :09:41. | |
can't get out of the road and people use the service to get to work. It | :09:42. | :09:46. | |
would have a big impact on us as a business and as a community. | :09:47. | :09:47. | |
The Department for Transport has said no decisions have been taken on | :09:48. | :09:52. | |
It's merely consultation ` a process that still has ovdr two | :09:53. | :09:56. | |
We saw the Esk Valley line there but these low`use stations are right | :09:57. | :10:07. | |
Yes, there are 64 low use stations across the area. And 20 havd been | :10:08. | :10:21. | |
identified in our patch. Ten in North Yorkshire, three in Teeside | :10:22. | :10:25. | |
North Yorkshire, three in Tdeside and some in Northumberland and | :10:26. | :10:28. | |
North Yorkshire, three in Teeside and some in Northumberland `nd Tyne | :10:29. | :10:29. | |
Wear. Teeside contains the famous Wear. Teeside contains thd famous | :10:30. | :10:33. | |
halt at Durham Tees Valley @irport, the second least used holding the | :10:34. | :10:37. | |
country. We saw just eight passengers using that from two | :10:38. | :10:41. | |
services a week last year so that must be favourite for the chop. The | :10:42. | :10:45. | |
Department for Transport rehterates Department for Transport rehterates | :10:46. | :10:48. | |
that it is just consultation, no stations are currently under | :10:49. | :10:51. | |
threat. The result of consultation will be published in Decembdr. | :10:52. | :10:57. | |
North Yorkshire Police has scrapped plans to build a new HQ | :10:58. | :11:00. | |
and is instead looking to share space with the Cleveland force. | :11:01. | :11:02. | |
North Yorkshire's current base at Newby Wiske had been earlarked | :11:03. | :11:05. | |
for closure, and a replacement was due to be | :11:06. | :11:07. | |
But the county's Police and Crime Commissioner, Julia Mulligan, | :11:08. | :11:11. | |
has stopped the scheme ` saying it'll save | :11:12. | :11:13. | |
She says the force has been offered space in Cleveland Police's new | :11:14. | :11:17. | |
headquarters, which is on the border with North Yorkshire. | :11:18. | :11:24. | |
It is in Cleveland, but an HQ is not an operational police station. It is | :11:25. | :11:33. | |
offices, payroll, support. Back office functions. This is not an | :11:34. | :11:35. | |
operational police station and operational police station `nd | :11:36. | :11:39. | |
neither is the current HQ. This is trying to find a cost`effective | :11:40. | :11:43. | |
solution to actually support the police service so that we c`n | :11:44. | :11:45. | |

must mean something politically, but in human terms, it doesn't seem | :13:11. | :13:15. | |
possible. Here at the westernmost point of Scotland's border with | :13:16. | :13:20. | |

of the vote in September. One | :14:11. | :14:15. | |
of the region's best`known regional newspapers is celebrating a very | :14:16. | :14:17. | |
significant birthday this weekend. The Hexham Courant will | :14:18. | :14:19. | |
be 150 years old. It was founded by one | :14:20. | :14:21. | |
Joseph Catherall in 1864, when there was just a single column | :14:22. | :14:24. | |
of local news in its pages. It was hand`set in London, and then | :14:25. | :14:28. | |
sent up to Hexham on the tr`in. Well, things have moved | :14:29. | :14:32. | |
on a bit since then, as Every copy of the Courant | :14:33. | :14:34. | |
from the last 150 years has been diligently filed and stored | :14:35. | :14:40. | |
in leather`bound books in a hallway Editor Colin Tapping showed me | :14:41. | :14:44. | |
a copy form 1940, when the news That is May the 11th with the | :14:45. | :15:02. | |
advertisements on. But if you see later in the month, on the 25th, | :15:03. | :15:07. | |
front`page news. This leads out of me. Mother and four helplessly | :15:08. | :15:11. | |
drunk. Nothing really changds! drunk. Nothing really changds! | :15:12. | :15:18. | |
Wonderful stories. A rich tapestry of history. Fascinating story, that | :15:19. | :15:29. | |
one. It says on landing, he immediately ran to a carol and | :15:30. | :15:30. | |
immediately ran to a carol `nd started to milk it. | :15:31. | :15:32. | |
The Courant also has another wartime German connection. | :15:33. | :15:38. | |
There was a prisoner of war camp nearby and the paper published a | :15:39. | :15:46. | |
German publication put together by the prisoners of war. It was printed | :15:47. | :15:54. | |
on the press out here. The prisoners did it? Yes. Was it proofread | :15:55. | :15:56. | |
on the press out here. The prisoners did it? Yes. Was it proofre`d and | :15:57. | :16:03. | |
edited? We are told it was not, but I'm sure somebody cast an eye over | :16:04. | :16:05. | |
it? So where next for the Courant, | :16:06. | :16:10. | |
at a time when newspapers have come under scrutiny like never bdfore, | :16:11. | :16:14. | |
and when digital media and instant What we are trying to get across is | :16:15. | :16:26. | |
that we are a force for good in championing the local community. | :16:27. | :16:30. | |
Without us, the community would be a poorer thing. If you buy thd | :16:31. | :16:32. | |

the edition from the 1850s. `` from 1864. It shows how much things have | :16:43. | :16:46. | |
changed and how much they have remained the same! | :16:47. | :16:49. | |
