Welcome to Look North. continues. | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
Rail passengers in Yorkshire are being warned they'll face | :00:08. | :00:09. | |
as members of the RMT union go on strike. | :00:10. | :00:12. | |
It's part of a dispute over plans to remove guards from trains. | :00:13. | :00:16. | |
More than 1,000 services will be cancelled, and commuters have been | :00:17. | :00:19. | |
It won't be such a straightforward journey for train passengers | :00:20. | :00:26. | |
tomorrow, when the members of the RMT strike. | :00:27. | :00:30. | |
The union are concerned about plans to change the role of guards - | :00:31. | :00:33. | |
currently they open and close doors when a train arrives at a station, | :00:34. | :00:37. | |
but Arriva North want a driver to do that on their own. | :00:38. | :00:41. | |
We believe that having a second person on all trains provides | :00:42. | :00:44. | |
assurances to the travelling public, and it's an additional safety | :00:45. | :00:46. | |
measure in the event that the driver becomes incapacitated. | :00:47. | :00:49. | |
If you are trying to get from Bradford Forster Square | :00:50. | :00:52. | |
into Leeds for a 9am start tomorrow, you might just make it. | :00:53. | :00:55. | |
If you are coming home after work, then your last train | :00:56. | :01:00. | |
But if you need to get home after work from Bradford to Ilkley, | :01:01. | :01:06. | |
The advice to passengers is to make alternative arrangements if you can, | :01:07. | :01:12. | |
It is a similar picture at stations across Yorkshire. | :01:13. | :01:17. | |
More than 1,000 services are cancelled. | :01:18. | :01:19. | |
There will be no services before 7am, and the last trains on most | :01:20. | :01:24. | |
They have got to get to work, the commuters, | :01:25. | :01:29. | |
and I understand them being upset, but what else can they do? | :01:30. | :01:32. | |
How are they going to get their voice heard? | :01:33. | :01:35. | |
It is not good for these people in general. | :01:36. | :01:37. | |
It will affect most of the activities that are going on. | :01:38. | :01:41. | |
For me, I think it is not the right decision, really. | :01:42. | :01:45. | |
If there are no guards, who will help them? | :01:46. | :01:47. | |
Who will be there with the passengers? | :01:48. | :01:49. | |
So, for public safety, it is better to have the guards there. | :01:50. | :01:53. | |
That is the issue that has sparked this dispute, | :01:54. | :01:56. | |
but Arriva North see drivers can operate doors safely on their own. | :01:57. | :02:05. | |
We put safety at the heart of everything that we do. | :02:06. | :02:08. | |
The Independent Rail Regulator has actually indicated that this | :02:09. | :02:10. | |
is as safe as conductor operation of the doors. | :02:11. | :02:12. | |
A tricky commute ahead for passengers tomorrow, | :02:13. | :02:15. | |
with unions warning that, if a deal can't be reached, | :02:16. | :02:18. | |
Abi Jaiyeola, BBC Look North, Bradford. | :02:19. | :02:24. | |
For the latest information on the strike tomorrow, | :02:25. | :02:26. | |
go to BBC.co.uk/Leeds, York or Sheffield, | :02:27. | :02:28. | |
A woman has died after being hit by a stolen car in Doncaster. | :02:29. | :02:36. | |
62-year-old grandmother Susan Gravel was knocked down in Stainforth | :02:37. | :02:40. | |
Police believe the silver or grey BMW was stolen. | :02:41. | :02:46. | |
Mrs Gravel's family have called her "loving and caring" | :02:47. | :02:48. | |
and say they're devastated by her death. | :02:49. | :02:50. | |
You might have noticed some celebrations in Leeds today. | :02:51. | :02:58. | |
It was the 15th St Patrick's Day parade in the city, | :02:59. | :03:01. | |
and thousands of supporters and spectators were there. | :03:02. | :03:03. | |
A colourful convoy of banners, bands and floats took to the streets | :03:04. | :03:06. | |
for a day of "Leeds Going Irish", with celebrations continuing | :03:07. | :03:09. | |
The first St Patrick's Day parade to be held in Leeds was back in 1999. | :03:10. | :03:17. | |
It's estimated 20,000 people in Yorkshire and Lincolnshire | :03:18. | :03:19. | |
are now volunteering for their local authority, | :03:20. | :03:22. | |
as funding cuts in the region hit the ?2 billion mark. | :03:23. | :03:26. | |
So, does this mean the idea of a Big Society is alive and well? | :03:27. | :03:30. | |
Ask not what your country can do for you - | :03:31. | :03:34. | |
ask what you can do for your country. | :03:35. | :03:36. | |
A bold statement from David Cameron back in 2010, but, seven years on, | :03:37. | :03:40. | |
Welcome to Lower Wharfedale in North Yorkshire, where volunteers | :03:41. | :03:46. | |
We know that, you know, councils are suffering at the moment, | :03:47. | :03:51. | |
but even when there were good times, we volunteered to help. | :03:52. | :03:56. | |
The council cuts meant the closure of the Stocksbridge Leisure Centre | :03:57. | :03:59. | |
near Sheffield, but it was saved by a group of very dedicated people, | :04:00. | :04:03. | |
many giving up their time while retired, | :04:04. | :04:05. | |
and, as the working age increases, there are concerns | :04:06. | :04:09. | |
It is a concern, so we try always to think of how we can, sort of, | :04:10. | :04:15. | |
bring younger people in and get younger people involved. | :04:16. | :04:19. | |
Three days of paid volunteering leave was pledged by | :04:20. | :04:22. | |
the Conservatives in 2015, so is that the answer? | :04:23. | :04:27. | |
I don't think the Government is ever going to say to an employer, | :04:28. | :04:30. | |
you must free people up for three days to make this work, | :04:31. | :04:33. | |
so I think it's always going to be something which is around | :04:34. | :04:36. | |
encouragement and carrots rather than sticks. | :04:37. | :04:39. | |
The concern is that, unless the Government | :04:40. | :04:41. | |
backs up its pledge, community groups will be left | :04:42. | :04:43. | |
to pick up the pieces with a diminishing pool of volunteers. | :04:44. | :04:48. | |
On to Super League, Wakefield won a tight match against Salford 24-22. | :04:49. | :04:54. | |
Castleford Tigers showed why they are the early-season | :04:55. | :04:57. | |
Super League leaders with a 34-0 win at Widnes, their fourth in a row. | :04:58. | :05:04. | |
Now let's take a look at the weather. | :05:05. | :05:06. | |
A much colder night in store than we have had in recent nights. | :05:07. | :05:11. | |
A little bit of cloud to get out of the way with first, | :05:12. | :05:14. | |
but then we will be left with clear skies through the night. | :05:15. | :05:17. | |
Under the clear skies, the temperatures will be falling | :05:18. | :05:19. | |
to around four or five Celsius, but we could see a touch of frost | :05:20. | :05:22. | |
That does mean it's going to be quite a cold start tomorrow morning. | :05:23. | :05:27. | |
We will see some spells of sunshine during the morning, | :05:28. | :05:29. | |
clouding over with cloud from the north-west as we head | :05:30. | :05:31. | |
into the afternoon, but still the sunshine will break | :05:32. | :05:34. | |
through, and temperatures tomorrow will be getting up to a high | :05:35. | :05:36. | |
For the rest of the week, it looks fairly decent. | :05:37. | :05:41. | |
Lots of cloud around as we head into Tuesday, | :05:42. | :05:43. | |
Hello, the weather was hit-and-miss today across the UK, bit of | :05:44. | :06:14. | |
sunshine, a few spots of rain, the skies are clearing now, particularly | :06:15. | :06:18. | |
in western area, and unlike the last few nights, this coming night, it is | :06:19. | :06:21. | |
going to turn chilly, there is a touch of frost on the way, these are | :06:22. | :06:24. | |
clouds from today. Some | :06:25. | :06:25. |
