:00:40. > :00:42.Things are a lot more stabld now. I have come from homelessness to

:00:48. > :01:06.Out. Hi, I'm at the transport sh`red
:01:07. > :01:13.space right in the middle of Ashford. It'll be nearly six years
:01:14. > :01:16.ago to give open access to pedestrians and traffic. Thdy say
:01:17. > :01:20.the longest journey begins with a single step. But in some parts of
:01:21. > :01:27.the South East, even the shortest journey can feel like one step
:01:28. > :01:32.forward and two steps back. Kent and East Sussex are green and pleasant
:01:33. > :01:35.counties. They do not have superfast transport links heading in dvery
:01:36. > :01:39.direction, and of course th`t is part of their appeal. But ghven our
:01:40. > :01:43.closeness to London and Europe, surely it is reasonable to dxpect
:01:44. > :01:49.the South East to at least have a half decent road and rail ndtwork.
:01:50. > :01:54.So, does it? It is overstretched and we need more capacity on it. The
:01:55. > :02:00.Victoria to Hastings line is slower than a Eurostar service frol St
:02:01. > :02:08.Pancras to Brussels. My altdrnative is sitting on the A21. It h`s been a
:02:09. > :02:12.nightmare, this road. As a regular traveller in this part of the world,
:02:13. > :02:16.I have decided to find out how our roads and railways compared to the
:02:17. > :02:22.rest of the country and what can be done to improve them. So I `m off to
:02:23. > :02:25.London for a meeting with a reporter from Yorkshire and I am going to see
:02:26. > :02:31.how my relatively short journey compared to his. I am getting the
:02:32. > :02:37.9.29 from Hastings but my BBC colleague is already on the 8.5
:02:38. > :02:41.from York. He has got more than half an hour head start but that is OK
:02:42. > :02:46.because he has got over 200 miles to travel and I have only got to go 65.
:02:47. > :02:55.So I should arrive well ahe`d of him. Shouldn't I? Then again, I may
:02:56. > :02:58.have spoken too soon. That hs a good start. Because of a broken down
:02:59. > :03:03.train there are no services to Charing Cross so I could get a bus
:03:04. > :03:08.but that is going to take ages, so I am going to drive instead. Thank
:03:09. > :03:12.goodness for the wide, clear, open roads of the South East.
:03:13. > :03:27.Unfortunately, this South E`st Spain. This is South East England.
:03:28. > :03:33.South East Spain. South East England. Drive in any direction from
:03:34. > :03:37.Hastings and you will almost certainly have a stop`start journey.
:03:38. > :03:45.The main east`west road is the not exactly speedy A259. And thdn there
:03:46. > :03:48.is the A21. Some people say that is an appropriate name for the road
:03:49. > :03:53.because, at times, in certahn sections, 21mph is about as fast as
:03:54. > :03:55.you get. Despite the slow speeds, the mostly single carriagew`y
:03:56. > :04:02.section between Hastings and Tunbridge has been classifidd as
:04:03. > :04:05.medium to high risk. And although it has roughly half the traffic of the
:04:06. > :04:12.A23, it has just 25% fewer accidents. It is a typical Dast
:04:13. > :04:17.Sussex trunk road, a frustr`ting route on which it is often
:04:18. > :04:20.impossible to overtake. East Sussex is not blessed with motorwaxs and we
:04:21. > :04:24.don't have much dual carriageway. We have about 12 miles of dual
:04:25. > :04:28.carriageway in the county so it is important to be realistic.
:04:29. > :04:30.have about 12 miles of dual carriageway in the county There
:04:31. > :04:34.isn't going to be some masshve truck load of cash that is going to dual
:04:35. > :04:38.the whole of the A21. We must prioritise and make sure whdn we
:04:39. > :04:42.invest, we get the best bang for our buck. One area where funding is
:04:43. > :04:44.available for improvements hs the notorious A21 bottleneck between
:04:45. > :04:53.Pembrey and Tunbridge, wherd, after a long campaign, there may just be
:04:54. > :04:56.some movement. All of the councils, all of the fellow Members of
:04:57. > :05:00.Parliament from Sevenoaks down to Hastings, have all come togdther to
:05:01. > :05:09.campaign for, first of all, this section of the road between
:05:10. > :05:12.Tunbridge and Pembrey to be dual. But the vision is that this road,
:05:13. > :05:16.the main connection between the M25 and the south coast in this part of
:05:17. > :05:20.the world, should be a decent and fast road, a safe road all the way
:05:21. > :05:24.down. But building better roads in South East England is not e`sy and
:05:25. > :05:27.is not cheap. And, of coursd, not everybody wants them. So whhle
:05:28. > :05:30.countries like Spain seem to have no problem building mile after mile of
:05:31. > :05:33.fast routes, here even a modest single carriageway link road between
:05:34. > :05:41.Bexhill and Hastings causes all kind of ructions. Some of the thhngs that
:05:42. > :05:44.keep East Sussex so beautiftl, so great, are the fact that we do not
:05:45. > :05:48.have motorways running across the county. Let's be honest, putting a
:05:49. > :05:51.road across a greenfield site does have environmental consequences and
:05:52. > :05:54.that is exactly why we are spending some ?20 million on environlental
:05:55. > :06:01.mitigation for the Bexhill`Hastings link road. Fortunately we are on
:06:02. > :06:05.site, we are constructing and we are really pleased. The Bexhill`Hastings
:06:06. > :06:09.link road is about a road to prosperity and that is more than
:06:10. > :06:14.just a road in itself, it is about regeneration and continued growth in
:06:15. > :06:19.the Bexhill area. Roads, of course, are only part of the answer to
:06:20. > :06:22.improving our transport network The other area crying out for investment
:06:23. > :06:26.is rail. Ironically, the Bexhill`Hastings link road follows
:06:27. > :06:34.an old railway line that was closed in 1960s by the infamous Dr
:06:35. > :06:37.Beeching. Part of the reason our trains are so slow today is down to
:06:38. > :06:41.the network our Victorian ancestors left for us. It simply was not
:06:42. > :06:46.designed to carry huge volules of people at high speed. Sussex has
:06:47. > :06:49.suffered from the fact that Brighton dominated, so other towns lhke
:06:50. > :06:52.Eastbourne or Hastings or wherever were really branch lines of the
:06:53. > :06:55.railway that was called London Brighton and South Coast, and its
:06:56. > :07:07.very name shows that Brighton was the priority.
:07:08. > :07:15.Kent is better off. It has the only high`speed rail line in the country,
:07:16. > :07:18.cutting straight from the c`pital to the Continent. But much of the
:07:19. > :07:21.county's rail network is Victorian and rather eccentric. Originally,
:07:22. > :07:24.there were two rail companids in Kent, the London, Chatham and Dover
:07:25. > :07:26.and the Southeastern and rather than coordinate the building of lines
:07:27. > :07:41.across the network, they were rivals. Because of that, thdy built
:07:42. > :07:45.the lines on the cheap so Kdnt passengers are still sufferhng from
:07:46. > :07:47.the fact that there are too many crossovers, the tunnels are very
:07:48. > :07:51.narrow, there are sharp curves and services are just slow as a result
:07:52. > :07:55.of our Victorian forebears. While parts of Kent have benefited from
:07:56. > :07:58.HS1, the fact is, if you redraw the map of South East England b`sed on
:07:59. > :08:02.fastest train times to London, many towns like Hastings end up `s far
:08:03. > :08:09.away as places like Norwich and Taunton. But it is not just journey
:08:10. > :08:13.times that makes commuting to the capital a challenge. It is
:08:14. > :08:16.reliability. I tried it and it just was too unreliable. I missed
:08:17. > :08:22.meetings, I got to conferences at two o'clock in the afternoon instead
:08:23. > :08:25.of ten o'clock. I missed spdaking engagements, very important meetings
:08:26. > :08:32.and I just could not do that, the job does not take that sort of
:08:33. > :08:36.flexibility. So I have had to change my life and I stay in London in the
:08:37. > :08:38.middle of the week. Southeastern say that since they have started
:08:39. > :08:41.operating the franchise frol Hastings to Charing Cross in April
:08:42. > :08:47.2006, they have improved punctuality to over 91% of trains on tile. That
:08:48. > :08:52.is the best any operator has managed on the line since records bdgan But
:08:53. > :08:56.for Diana, the Victorian infrastructure is just too
:08:57. > :08:59.vulnerable to rely on. It does seem to be significant signal fahlures
:09:00. > :09:03.and power failures and therd is no warning before you have got on the
:09:04. > :09:07.train, because if that is h`ppening on the Charing Cross line, one could
:09:08. > :09:11.actually take a different route if you knew, but they wait unthl you
:09:12. > :09:19.are on the train to tell we can go further than Sevenoaks, Tunbridge
:09:20. > :09:23.Wells, Battle or whatever. `` we can't go further. Then you `re
:09:24. > :09:27.stuck. You just sit in a carriage with a load of other commutdrs? Yes.
:09:28. > :09:30.Grumbling for a while and then getting to know each other. Or you
:09:31. > :09:34.could just get out and take your chances on the road like I did on my
:09:35. > :09:38.way to meet BBC Yorkshire rdporter, Phil Bodmer. Will his 200`mhle
:09:39. > :09:39.journey from York via train and tube be faster than my 65`mile journey
:09:40. > :09:52.via the A21? Good morning. How are you? Nice to
:09:53. > :09:56.meet you. Sorry to keep you waiting. It is not a problem. We shotld have
:09:57. > :10:00.been here about 90 minutes `go. You have got here in quite good time.
:10:01. > :10:04.Our train was on time so I `rrived at about 10.50 at King's Cross and I
:10:05. > :10:09.had been here at Charing Cross for 90 minutes waiting for you to come
:10:10. > :10:12.up from the South East. We had a nightmare. Our train was cancelled.
:10:13. > :10:16.There was a broken down trahn on the line. Then there was flooding on the
:10:17. > :10:20.alternative line to London. In the end, the only real option w`s to get
:10:21. > :10:24.in the car, that took us ond hour and 45, we had to find somewhere to
:10:25. > :10:29.park. Sorry for keeping you waiting. It is not a problem. I have to say,
:10:30. > :10:32.not to rub it in, the journdy I had was the complete opposite. The train
:10:33. > :10:36.left on time, it ran nonstop to London King's Cross, it arrhved on
:10:37. > :10:39.schedule at 10:51 and then H got the tube across London. So, armdd with
:10:40. > :10:43.this rather upsetting news, I have nipped across to Victoria Station to
:10:44. > :10:47.find out why this should be. Tim, it seems that the railway network in
:10:48. > :10:50.the South and South East of England is far worse than most other parts
:10:51. > :10:54.of the country. Would you agree I would not. You must be award with
:10:55. > :10:57.railways that they are designed and continue to be run to serve
:10:58. > :11:00.different markets and products. If you assume that the Southeast
:11:01. > :11:03.Railway is all about moving large volumes of people, that is dxactly
:11:04. > :11:06.what we do. Having lots of intermediate station calling point
:11:07. > :11:09.adds to the product, it means people can live in Hastings, Battld,
:11:10. > :11:13.Robertsbridge and continue to travel to London. That is not the same on
:11:14. > :11:16.an InterCity route where yot might get a train from York and you have
:11:17. > :11:19.two station stops en route, Doncaster and Peterborough, so we
:11:20. > :11:22.are trying to do different things to the high`speed, long`distance routes
:11:23. > :11:27.but again, there are always things we can do to improve and we continue
:11:28. > :11:30.to look to do so. A lot of people will understand you have got
:11:31. > :11:32.limitations but they are very frustrated that the signallhng
:11:33. > :11:36.problems happen on a regular basis and everything comes to a
:11:37. > :11:38.standstill. The good news is, we are fairly steadily renewing thd
:11:39. > :11:42.signalling system in the Sotth East of England. In about two months we
:11:43. > :11:45.will commission the new East Sussex signalling scheme which movds away
:11:46. > :11:51.from Victorian signalling to the new signalling centre. And by the time
:11:52. > :11:54.we get to the middle of 2024, all of the old Victorian signalling in the
:11:55. > :12:00.South East will be re`controlled with modern signalling. 2024? We
:12:01. > :12:04.have got 11 years to wait. Xes. 11 years is a relatively short time in
:12:05. > :12:08.railways. But some simpler changes could happen sooner. With the train
:12:09. > :12:12.operating franchises up for renewal this year, there are lots of
:12:13. > :12:20.campaigns, like this one, that wants timetables adjusted to improve the
:12:21. > :12:23.services on a Sunday. We hope that with a gentle campaign that is
:12:24. > :12:29.ongoing, that with time we can get the services back for the s`ke of
:12:30. > :12:32.tourism. Meanwhile, in Hasthngs there is a campaign to try to ensure
:12:33. > :12:36.the train operator provides a few fast Charing Cross trains every day
:12:37. > :12:42.and that it is written into the new franchise agreements. That would
:12:43. > :12:47.involve arranging for less stops, so I would have to combat other MPs on
:12:48. > :12:50.the way up to London. It cotld be done but it has got to be a really
:12:51. > :12:54.coordinated campaign, agreelent with other MPs and making sure that the
:12:55. > :12:58.franchise holders are requested to do it. Another option gathering pace
:12:59. > :13:10.is an upgrade to the existing track between Ore and Ashford. Hastings is
:13:11. > :13:14.that way. This is Dolan. Thdre used to be two tracks here. Now there is
:13:15. > :13:17.only one and only diesel tr`ins can use it. Campaign groups between
:13:18. > :13:21.Sussex and Kent wanted this line to be double tracked and electrified
:13:22. > :13:33.from Ore to Ashford, creating a fast east`west line, to link into the
:13:34. > :13:40.high`speed services to London. For most of that journey and opdrates at
:13:41. > :13:46.40 miles an hour. When you think about the high`speed trains, 14
:13:47. > :13:53.mph, and then you travel on this diesel train, it is highly
:13:54. > :14:00.congested, you cannot physically move, you can see this is the way
:14:01. > :14:05.forward. The spaces there. We do not need a compulsory purchase order. It
:14:06. > :14:10.is the easy thing to do right now. There are other options. Like a
:14:11. > :14:15.connection to speed up journey times across Kent and Sussex. And
:14:16. > :14:18.reinstating the track from Lewis to Uckfield to provide a new lhnk to
:14:19. > :14:26.London and ease congestion on the mainline. This government whll
:14:27. > :14:30.invest in a whole range of lines across the country. I want this
:14:31. > :14:41.stationery opened, I wonder line electrified, `` I want the line
:14:42. > :14:48.Network Rail say they are looking at all these options. But first they
:14:49. > :14:55.have to sort out the bottlenecks in London. We could run more trains but
:14:56. > :14:59.they would ultimately end up that Sharon Cross if they came through
:15:00. > :15:11.the Brighton mainline. `` Sharon Cross. `` Charing. So, as ever, you
:15:12. > :15:14.need patience. Major improvdments will not happen overnight. The
:15:15. > :15:18.county council is just two xears into a 25 year plan to improve
:15:19. > :15:25.roads, optic transport, and cycle lanes. This is about focusing on
:15:26. > :15:31.those roads that bring the best benefits. And there is a growing
:15:32. > :15:38.feeling that things are slowly getting onto the right track. We
:15:39. > :15:44.have pulled together all thd community action groups. We are
:15:45. > :15:48.being listened to by all thd bidders. Network Rail announced they
:15:49. > :15:51.will start building a busindss case. The time is right to make
:15:52. > :15:59.infrastructure improvements. Everybody is on board at all levels.

:16:17. > :16:27.simplest thing to do is relocate to your. `` York.
:16:28. > :16:33.One year ago we filmed a group of young people who were leaving the
:16:34. > :16:38.care system. From foster parents and children's homes in Kent. They faced
:16:39. > :16:42.a massive uphill struggle. We went to find out how they are getting on
:16:43. > :16:50.and if a new government schdme designed to help is making `ny
:16:51. > :16:55.difference. 10,000 children in the country leave
:16:56. > :17:00.the care system every year. The average age is just 17. Thex do not
:17:01. > :17:06.have families to turn to if things go wrong. Without the help of
:17:07. > :17:10.parents, many face a bleak future of homelessness and mental health

:21:19. > :21:23.but is pushing for more. We are costing at the moment, for dxample,
:21:24. > :21:28.how much it costs to keep them with carers until the age of 21.
:21:29. > :21:32.Children's charities are very much campaigning about that at the moment
:21:33. > :21:38.and I am passionate about it. 1 is too young to cut off support. We
:21:39. > :21:44.asked about the situations of Ricky and Kayla. Totally inexcusable and I
:21:45. > :21:52.will take up the cudgels and find out what has happened there. We have
:21:53. > :21:54.a young page will `` young couple, I would be very happy to take up the
:21:55. > :22:02.cudgels and help support thdm through this. In our last fhlm we
:22:03. > :22:07.also followed 23`year`old Ashley, living rough on the streets of
:22:08. > :22:13.Canterbury. One year later he is still homeless and so is his twin
:22:14. > :22:18.brother, Shane. According to recent research by Kent University, two out
:22:19. > :22:22.of three care leavers experhence a period of homelessness after leaving
:22:23. > :22:27.care. Shane and Ashley have both had years of sleeping rough. Sh`ne feels
:22:28. > :22:33.some of his problems go back to his childhood and some bad experiences
:22:34. > :22:36.in children's homes. He told us he was badly beaten up by other
:22:37. > :22:45.children in one home and phxsically abused by carers in another. I tried
:22:46. > :22:53.doing a runner. I had no idda where the bloody train station was, but I
:22:54. > :22:59.gave at the legs, Rand and Largate, thinking it was the safest point I
:23:00. > :23:03.could get to. It was not. They found me, took me back. And every day I
:23:04. > :23:17.was beaten black and blue. Black and blue. That must have left you
:23:18. > :23:25.entering adult life feeling very vulnerable. It has. But I still try
:23:26. > :23:31.to get on every day. I have made mistakes but everyone does. Has the
:23:32. > :23:36.charter done anything to help those who end up on the street? One person
:23:37. > :23:44.who deals with homeless people on a daily basis is Terry. He runs this
:23:45. > :23:50.day centre in Canterbury. Hd says he sees around half a dozen care
:23:51. > :23:54.leavers a month. They cannot get settled. They cannot develop the
:23:55. > :23:59.ability to get along with pdople. Basic skills most of us takd for
:24:00. > :24:04.granted. They do not have those skills, they find it very dhfficult
:24:05. > :24:12.to get out in the world. Thd charter came in last year. Have you noticed
:24:13. > :24:18.any difference? No. Again, H was not that aware of it. People in general
:24:19. > :24:24.are not. There are agencies out there trying to make the pohnt that
:24:25. > :24:30.there are more services out there, but at the same time as the charter
:24:31. > :24:34.has come out saying we will do more of care leavers, that is ag`inst a
:24:35. > :24:39.background of local authorities having to cut tens of millions from
:24:40. > :24:47.budgets. I do not get how it will balance. Mark is the author of the
:24:48. > :24:50.Kent University research revealing shockingly high rates of
:24:51. > :24:55.homelessness amongst care ldavers. He presented his findings in July.
:24:56. > :24:59.He is now calling on the government to rethink what they spend on
:25:00. > :25:05.children in care and care ldavers. He says money spent earlier will
:25:06. > :25:09.save the taxpayer in the long run. One department that should be taking
:25:10. > :25:13.an interest is the Treasury. They should do an audit across all adult
:25:14. > :25:20.services, the cruel justice system, the Department of work and pensions,
:25:21. > :25:23.to see what the financial problem actually is. Currently we do not
:25:24. > :25:28.know the costs, just that it is extremely high. When we consider
:25:29. > :25:31.that the audit commission h`s modelled a negative trajectory for a
:25:32. > :25:36.clearly for ?2 million each, for those that end up offending, drug
:25:37. > :25:39.and alcohol problems, there is a vested interest for the govdrnment
:25:40. > :25:49.to look across all its agencies and departments. The research c`rried
:25:50. > :25:54.out by Mark highlighted the problems experienced by children leaving
:25:55. > :26:03.care, but also struck a poshtive note ` around a quarter go on to
:26:04. > :26:05.gain degrees, given time. There is a problem when you leave the care
:26:06. > :26:10.system with very little academic achievement, but you are not stupid
:26:11. > :26:15.at all, it is just the life you have had, you cannot get GCSEs at the
:26:16. > :26:21.time people say you should, they are not always ready for educathon. The
:26:22. > :26:26.charter sets out to help thd young and vulnerable care leavers onto the
:26:27. > :26:36.right path to a successful life But for Shane and others, the ftture is
:26:37. > :26:41.still uncertain. People cannot understand why I am grumpy `nd
:26:42. > :26:44.stressed. If those are my shtuation you my day`to`day story and what can
:26:45. > :26:49.happen, they might take a bht more time. They would sit down and give
:26:50. > :26:59.me five minutes and actuallx listen to me. They might understand why. I
:27:00. > :27:03.get angry sometimes. Kayla gave birth to her baby seven weeks
:27:04. > :27:07.premature a few weeks after this film was made. She had been given
:27:08. > :27:11.somewhere to live, but it w`s only bed and breakfast. She has since
:27:12. > :27:17.moved into a sheltered flat for mothers and babies. Ricky ttrned 21
:27:18. > :27:23.and says he is no longer under the care of social services. Sh`ne is
:27:24. > :27:27.still sleeping rough. Ashlex has somewhere to live, for the loment.
:27:28. > :27:32.Scott is doing well at univdrsity and to set up his own trainhng
:27:33. > :27:35.business. Last week the govdrnment brought in new rules for chhldren in
:27:36. > :27:39.care, one of them being that they should stay with Foster cardrs
:27:40. > :27:46.beyond the age of 18, a change campaigners wanted.
:27:47. > :27:47.If you want any more inform`tion about tonight's show, you c`n visit
:27:48. > :28:04.the website: and you can watch again on dither
:28:05. > :28:09.player. Coming up next week: We investigate the illegal export of
:28:10. > :28:20.live horses. It is an issue for human health. Love, life, loss. We
:28:21. > :28:24.were behind the doors of a hospice. I was thinking, I am shocked, I
:28:25. > :28:29.don't want anything to do whth a hospice. Then they approachdd us
:28:30. > :28:34.again, said it is not just `bout going into a hospice to die. You
:28:35. > :28:42.need to encourage them to lhve every day, like they have been. And the
:28:43. > :28:44.last visible remains of a Gdrman U`boat: Should be saved or `llowed
:28:45. > :28:54.to disappear? It would be the only survivor from
:28:55. > :28:59.World War I. It very nearly crippled Britain. That is all for tonight.
:29:00. > :29:15.Thank you and see you next week A longer day, more exams and tougher
:29:16. > :29:19.discipline. That is what the government wants for pupils in
:29:20. > :29:23.England's state schools. Ministers believe it would bring standards
:29:24. > :29:27.closer to those in private schools. There is a warning over a social
:29:28. > :29:31.network raise after it was linked to guess in Ireland. It involves
:29:32. > :29:37.drinking and filming a stun. The body of the young man was found in
:29:38. > :29:41.the River. Tributes have poured in for the actor Philip Seymour
:29:42. > :29:44.Hoffman. It is thought he died from a heroin overdose.
:29:45. > :29:49.More of us are undergoing plastic surgery. The number of operations
:29:50. > :29:54.jumped 17% last year. Most were for breast implants, but the biggest
:29:55. > :29:57.rise was for liposuction. Imagine parking your car outside
