:00:00. > :00:00.Welcome to Inside Out from the warnings

:00:07. > :00:25.Welcome to Inside Out from the National Railway Museum in York.

:00:26. > :00:30.Good evening, and welcome to Inside Out, I am Toby Foster. Later, we

:00:31. > :00:36.will find out about plans to build a brand`new steam train designed by

:00:37. > :00:41.the man who built this beauty. First, why do many disabled people

:00:42. > :00:48.have to pay more to travel by taxi? We test a handful of firms to find

:00:49. > :00:53.out. Can I have a receipt. It was ?20. Also, we meet the enthusiasts

:00:54. > :01:03.building a new steam engine from the original 1930s designs. And it has

:01:04. > :01:08.been banned by a Yorkshire Council ` welcome to the new burlesque. It is

:01:09. > :01:22.regressive. I think it is empowering.

:01:23. > :01:26.I get a taxi into work every Friday and Saturday night, and I always

:01:27. > :01:29.know what it's going to cost me ` ?20 from my house into the centre of

:01:30. > :01:32.Sheffield. But if you're a wheelchair user, it seems, it's not

:01:33. > :01:35.that simple. One man from Keighley has found that he has been quoted

:01:36. > :01:40.sometimes more than double the normal fare. So, we decided to

:01:41. > :01:43.investigate. Meet Paul Anderson. He lives in Riddlesden near Keighley

:01:44. > :01:46.and he travels to work in Bradford every day. Most of the time he

:01:47. > :01:52.drives himself in his specially adapted car but sometimes he takes a

:01:53. > :02:00.cab. I might use a taxi if I'm going to an area where I can't park my own

:02:01. > :02:05.car. I also use a taxi if I'm going on a night out. I do occasionally

:02:06. > :02:13.use taxis around and about where I work in Bradford because it's easier

:02:14. > :02:16.than trying to find a parking space. Paul works for a disability charity

:02:17. > :02:20.and some of his friends and colleagues have discovered that they

:02:21. > :02:24.seem to be paying a lot more for taxi journeys than the rest of us,

:02:25. > :02:31.which doesn't seem fair. But what does the law say? If a provider has

:02:32. > :02:34.an accessible vehicle within their fleet and they charge the disabled

:02:35. > :02:37.person a higher rate for using that vehicle than a non`disabled person,

:02:38. > :02:44.it would be likely that a court would find that unlawful. In fact,

:02:45. > :02:46.according to the Equality Act, it's unlawful to discriminate against

:02:47. > :02:57.disabled people when providing them with goods and services, like a

:02:58. > :03:01.taxi. And yet apparently, it's still happening. A number of wheelchair

:03:02. > :03:08.users have come to me and said that they have experienced being charged

:03:09. > :03:13.higher prices. Please can I get a quote on a taxi. So we decided to

:03:14. > :03:17.test the theory. Paul got together with one of our researchers and rang

:03:18. > :03:20.31 taxi firms in the Bradford and Keighley area to see what they would

:03:21. > :03:24.charge a wheelchair user as opposed to an able bodied person. Out of

:03:25. > :03:33.those 31, 12 firms quoted at least a 30% increase, rising to well over

:03:34. > :03:40.100% for some firms. 11 didn't have any suitable cars and one couldn't

:03:41. > :03:46.give a quote when we rang. Out of the 31, only seven quoted us the

:03:47. > :03:51.same price, or slightly more. It would be interesting to look into

:03:52. > :03:58.what is behind the firms who were quoting up to 50% difference. So,

:03:59. > :04:03.that is what we did. We picked the four firms which according to our

:04:04. > :04:08.research, quoted the biggest mark`up on disabled cars.

:04:09. > :04:17.Only seven companies out of 31 quoted

:04:18. > :04:22.`` This is what happened. Paul's office is at the Carlisle Business

:04:23. > :04:25.Centre in the Manningham area of Bradford. So for each of the four

:04:26. > :04:29.cab companies, we're going to call a taxi for me, and one for Paul, and

:04:30. > :04:32.do exactly the same journey to the street Paul lives in in Keighley.

:04:33. > :04:36.First up, Euro Cars of Bradford. I wonder if you could give me a quote

:04:37. > :04:38.for a taxi from the Carlisle Business Centre in Bradford to

:04:39. > :04:42.Grange Road in Riddlesden, Keighley? It's showing up about ?13. Sorry I

:04:43. > :04:46.forgot to say, it needs to be wheelchair accessible. A wheelchair

:04:47. > :04:50.one? Oh that'll be more than that then ` about ?20. Amazingly, the

:04:51. > :04:54.operator is completely open about the fact that Paul will be charged

:04:55. > :05:07.over 50% more because he's in a wheelchair. Where about you going?

:05:08. > :05:13.Grange Road, Riddlesden. Well, that's Paul on his way. So now I'm

:05:14. > :05:20.going to call a cab from the same company and see what they charge me.

:05:21. > :05:26.Can I order a taxi please? Where from. I am at the Carlisle Business

:05:27. > :05:32.Centre. I will get someone to do now, Mr Foster. Thanks, goodbye.

:05:33. > :05:35.Let's see what happens, shall we? Paul and I arrive safely in our

:05:36. > :05:39.cabs, which interestingly are both around the same size, but the damage

:05:40. > :05:44.to Paul's wallet is a fair bit more than to mine. I've got my receipt,

:05:45. > :05:49.it says ?15. It was actually ?14, he just put an extra pound on the

:05:50. > :05:56.receipt. How much was yours? ?20.50 but he charged me ?20. So we came

:05:57. > :06:07.exactly the same route and yours was ?6 more. So onto our second company

:06:08. > :06:13.` First Choice taxis of Keighley. Hello, first choice? Can I order a

:06:14. > :06:19.taxi please? Can I order a taxi for order to three? `` quarter to three.

:06:20. > :06:23.We ask them to send two cabs to take us back from Keighley to Bradford,

:06:24. > :06:25.but this time there's a bit of confusion as they send Paul a

:06:26. > :06:29.non`accessible car. Hi there, it's Paul. I ordered a wheelchair

:06:30. > :06:33.accessible taxi and you've sent a normal one. Are you going to be able

:06:34. > :06:35.to sort me out? I haven't got wheelchair accessible cab at the

:06:36. > :06:39.moment. Luckily, Paul's condition means he is able to stand for short

:06:40. > :06:43.periods so he manages to get in a second cab sent by the company and

:06:44. > :06:48.off we go back to Bradford. So we're back here at the Carlisle Business

:06:49. > :06:52.Centre. ?13, that journey. Let's see what Paul gets charged. Just ?13

:06:53. > :06:58.please. So this time, we both get charged the same amount. And yet it

:06:59. > :07:05.took longer to get you in and out of the car? Yes, it takes longer to get

:07:06. > :07:10.someone with a wheelchair into a car, and sometimes that is an excuse

:07:11. > :07:16.for charging more. It is an amazing difference in price between the

:07:17. > :07:20.Bradford form dumb Akram and the Keighley firm, nearly 50% more. It

:07:21. > :07:28.is a big difference and would make a big difference to a disabled person

:07:29. > :07:32.to find that extra ?7. Day two, and Paul and I are ready to test out two

:07:33. > :07:37.more taxi firms ` so you know the drill. Can I have a wheelchair

:07:38. > :07:40.accessible taxi? Can I have a taxi to the Carlisle Business Centre? The

:07:41. > :07:44.two companies today are Girlington All Over and Bank Top Taxis, both

:07:45. > :07:50.based in Bradford. So off we go on exactly the same journey as

:07:51. > :08:03.yesterday. Or this way and go up the top of the lane, go down that way.

:08:04. > :08:08.Go down here. It is not far. There is a car park on the Drop me over

:08:09. > :08:10.there, but is fine. And you've guessed it? Paul, we've had two

:08:11. > :08:23.days. `` can I have a receipt please? We

:08:24. > :08:29.have used four different taxi firms. One gave us the same price

:08:30. > :08:38.and the rest, 12 or ?13, yours was ?20. It seems to be the way. We had

:08:39. > :08:42.a bit of a problem with the last one. The car was not wheelchair

:08:43. > :08:47.accessible. We left the car park and he said, I think I have a puncture.

:08:48. > :08:53.There is something wrong with my engine, and he stopped, and he took

:08:54. > :09:00.us back and kicked us out. And that taxi, again, charge to try ``

:09:01. > :09:08.charged you ?20. It will be interesting but taxi firms say when

:09:09. > :09:11.we put it to them, would? It would. It'll be interesting to see how it

:09:12. > :09:14.will be justified. Bank Top Taxis told us they actually asked another

:09:15. > :09:17.firm to pick Paul up after their driver had a puncture, so they

:09:18. > :09:19.couldn't take responsibility for what was charged. Girlington All

:09:20. > :09:22.Over weren't available for interview, but the boss told us that

:09:23. > :09:25.they had now changed their policy and are now charging disabled

:09:26. > :09:28.passengers the same as everyone else. The only fair we could speak

:09:29. > :09:32.to on camera was Euro Cars. I am here to see them now. On the day,

:09:33. > :09:37.two taxes, same journey, I got charged ?14, Paul got charged ?20.

:09:38. > :09:45.What is the difference? We have only two tariffs. We have a minibus

:09:46. > :09:48.tariff and a normal car tariff. The Equality Commission told us that

:09:49. > :09:51.taxi companies need to make what they call "reasonable adjustments"

:09:52. > :09:53.to their fares to ensure that disabled people aren't discriminated

:09:54. > :09:58.against. Do you think you're doing that? I can see both sides. I can

:09:59. > :10:01.see where you're coming from, but the price of a wheelchair accessible

:10:02. > :10:05.minibus is considerably more than a normal minibus. It has to be

:10:06. > :10:10.converted. They need ramps and clamps and things like that, which

:10:11. > :10:21.cost a lot of money. We are going to review our prices in March but at

:10:22. > :10:24.the moment, we've only two tariffs. So, some hope then that things might

:10:25. > :10:28.change, but at the moment it seems that despite what the law says, Paul

:10:29. > :10:37.may still be paying more than me to get around by taxi.

:10:38. > :10:41.If you have got any views on that story, or what to tell us about

:10:42. > :10:52.something we should cover, you can contact us on Facebook or Twitter.

:10:53. > :11:11.Coming up on Inside Out... It has been banned by a Yorkshire Council `

:11:12. > :11:15.welcome to the new burlesque. Six years ago, a group of

:11:16. > :11:18.enthusiasts built a new steam engine from scratch. Now they are going to

:11:19. > :11:27.do it all over again, and this time, it will be much bigger.

:11:28. > :11:34.Six years ago, an extraordinary thing happened. People across the

:11:35. > :11:37.world sat up and watched. A group of enthusiasts built a brand new steam

:11:38. > :11:42.engine to run on Britain's main line. At times it was tricky. One is

:11:43. > :11:51.in danger of burning one's Hinkley C... It took 18 years and cost ?3

:11:52. > :12:05.million. But when it work, no one was more delighted than them. Yes!

:12:06. > :12:13.This engine is named Tornado, and may God bless all who are lucky

:12:14. > :12:16.enough to drive behind her. Today I am at Barrow Hill near Chesterfield

:12:17. > :12:22.to find out what happened next, and to find out about plans to do the

:12:23. > :12:25.impossible once again. Barrow Hill is a fascinating place if you're

:12:26. > :12:28.mechanically minded. There's every type of locomotive here. Some are

:12:29. > :12:34.being repaired, some are being restored, but all are the object of

:12:35. > :12:38.someone's affections. And this is where we find Tornado. But to be

:12:39. > :12:45.honest, in a few more bits than when I last saw it. We have had some

:12:46. > :12:49.damage in the past. John Wilkinson used to be a banker. He swapped

:12:50. > :12:55.spread sheets for steam and has now gone loco full time. Hello, John.

:12:56. > :12:59.What is the story here? I was expecting to see Tornado ready to

:13:00. > :13:05.go, but there are sparks flying and it is not going anywhere. What is

:13:06. > :13:13.the story? The way we like to present the engine is clean and as

:13:14. > :13:20.you would expect, but you have to come and do all of the jobs. We have

:13:21. > :13:24.to lift parts off and strip things down to get to where you want to

:13:25. > :13:28.work. It can be a matter of weeks rather than days. Out of sight, out

:13:29. > :13:32.of mind. It is not hauling passengers are earning money? Ella

:13:33. > :13:38.mac we would like it to be earning, but we needed to be reliable. `` we

:13:39. > :13:41.would like it to be earning. There is a lot at stake. Tornado has

:13:42. > :13:44.pulled the Royal Train three times, starred in an episode of Top Gear

:13:45. > :13:53.and delighted thousands of passengers. Its reputation as a

:13:54. > :14:01.steam star has gone global. These hands had to clean. Have you got a

:14:02. > :14:05.job? We have a superb job lined up for you. Should I be worried?

:14:06. > :14:09.Always! One quick change and an induction to spanners later... The

:14:10. > :14:19.whole thing will come off. It will be heavy.

:14:20. > :14:29.I think this is today's 20 minutes of exercise sorted out. One of the

:14:30. > :14:32.interesting things about working at the front of the engine is you are

:14:33. > :14:37.reminded just how long it took to build because these cylinders were

:14:38. > :14:42.cast not far away from here, just down the road. That has long closed.

:14:43. > :14:48.It's a housing estate. How are we going get this off? Not a word of a

:14:49. > :14:52.lie. It took three of us 20 minutes, using a selection of tools and words

:14:53. > :14:55.not necessarily in the dictionary to wrestle this off. No wonder they

:14:56. > :14:59.call it a piano front. That was a really big job and just one

:15:00. > :15:03.component, too, which makes me wonder, the people who look after

:15:04. > :15:07.it, surely they have enough on. Why on earth do they want to build

:15:08. > :15:13.another steam engine? 80 years ago, a prototype locomotive rolled out of

:15:14. > :15:16.the Doncaster plant works. This is the most powerful steam locomotive

:15:17. > :15:20.ever built in Britain. If you go back to the origins of the design,

:15:21. > :15:25.they were designed for a specific role and that was to haul heavy

:15:26. > :15:29.trains from Edinburgh to Aberdeen, when the trains were getting the

:15:30. > :15:35.Google cache more luxurious during the early 1930s. Why build another?

:15:36. > :15:40.This locomotive can haul more coaches. It will be able to haul

:15:41. > :15:45.those coaches up steeper hills than the other locomotives, and Hills

:15:46. > :15:53.equals beautiful scenery. Beautiful scenery equals more passengers. The

:15:54. > :16:02.official works portrait of the first of these locomotives reveals these

:16:03. > :16:05.is dashed their size. `` reveals their size. This is number 2001,

:16:06. > :16:08.with another famous steam name ` Cock O The North. However a lot of

:16:09. > :16:12.the engineering and even some of the parts are the same as on Tornado.

:16:13. > :16:14.What do you need? Let's start with the wheels. You have two of the

:16:15. > :16:17.front to lead them locomotive into tight curves, eight other wheels and

:16:18. > :16:23.two wheels at the back to support the weight. Next come the frames.

:16:24. > :16:26.Think of them is a big metal rectangle that hold everything in

:16:27. > :16:33.just the right place. It's normally the part build first. The P2 has

:16:34. > :16:36.three cylinders and they conferred the seeming to war power which is

:16:37. > :16:43.transmitted to the reels by connecting rods. To make this team,

:16:44. > :16:51.you need a boiler. Think of that like a big cattle. It gives ?250 per

:16:52. > :16:56.square inch. At this end of the boiler, you have a box which collect

:16:57. > :17:00.the waste gases from the fire and sends up the chimney. You have two

:17:01. > :17:04.defectors to make sure the smoke is lifted well clear of the cab. The

:17:05. > :17:10.other end of the boiler, the driver sits. Stickler: The water on the

:17:11. > :17:20.back and you have just created a living, breathing monster, capable

:17:21. > :17:23.of hauling hundreds of tonnes. Six of them were built but they were all

:17:24. > :17:28.ultimately scrapped which means the closest you'll get to seeing one is

:17:29. > :17:31.as a model, like here, at the National Railway Museum in York.

:17:32. > :17:41.Terrific stuff. You may know the name of the man who designed the

:17:42. > :17:44.machine, Nigel Gresley. It is very unusual to see footage of him.

:17:45. > :17:48.Anthony Coulis is the senior curator at the National Railway Museum. He

:17:49. > :17:51.created something that would pull the side of the house. He was not

:17:52. > :17:57.averse to being influenced by people. The very fact that the first

:17:58. > :18:04.one was tested here as well. He was working as an international level.

:18:05. > :18:09.Are you excited about seeing one for what would have been the first time?

:18:10. > :18:14.I think so. It is such a different way. The engines have been described

:18:15. > :18:20.as his Enigma variations. They are all slightly different. You know

:18:21. > :18:27.that this is going to do the job but he had the eye towards the athletic.

:18:28. > :18:35.The maestro signed off his symphony eight decades ago. He could never

:18:36. > :18:38.have guessed that one day, the plans would be taken from a museum, dusted

:18:39. > :18:42.down, scanned into a computer and catalogued, ready to build another

:18:43. > :18:50.one. And already one big decision has been taken. How did that royal

:18:51. > :18:56.connection come about? Prince Charles was kind enough to name

:18:57. > :19:01.Tornado. He enjoyed himself on the day. You were there, Tom, and saw

:19:02. > :19:05.that. He has been kind enough to ask us to pull the Royal train on two

:19:06. > :19:08.occasions since then. We were thinking about what we should name

:19:09. > :19:14.them locomotive. There was only one name that came to mind and that was

:19:15. > :19:18.Prince of Wales. This is the Darlington workshop.

:19:19. > :19:22.Right now, it is filling with people and activity all over again. These

:19:23. > :19:26.wooden patterns are being cleaned off, ready to be sent to the foundry

:19:27. > :19:31.which will cast the very first parts for the brand`new steam engine. The

:19:32. > :19:36.trust has already raised ?300,000 towards the cost. They reckon they

:19:37. > :19:39.will need around ?5 million but buoyed by their successful Tornado,

:19:40. > :19:47.they claim they can do the job by 2021.

:19:48. > :19:52.Burlesque entertainment is enjoying something of a revival but after one

:19:53. > :19:56.Yorkshire Council banned the show, some have questioned whether it is

:19:57. > :20:01.liberating or demeaning for modern women. John Harris investigates the

:20:02. > :20:05.politics and the business behind the new burlesque.

:20:06. > :20:10.The finishing touches before a show. But for some, this type of

:20:11. > :20:14.entertainment crosses a line. Burlesque is sexual entertainment

:20:15. > :20:20.and I do think it's regressive. I would say it's totalling empowering.

:20:21. > :20:25.There are those who think it's very raunchy, like striptease. Rubbish.

:20:26. > :20:36.It's not just about stripping. Burlesque is booming. More classes

:20:37. > :20:46.are being set up, training would`be performers in the art of the tease.

:20:47. > :20:51.The question is, does the new burlesque empower or demean women in

:20:52. > :20:57.21st century Britain? In a city centre store, shop assistant Emma

:20:58. > :21:07.Knight tempts a customer. Within hours, she'll offering a different

:21:08. > :21:13.exotic mix. How I you? Thank you for coming. Outside a Leicester night

:21:14. > :21:16.club, the former university student is transformed into her stage

:21:17. > :21:19.personality, Eliza De Lite, a rising international star of modern British

:21:20. > :21:22.burlesque. The thing to overcome about burlesque is that it's not

:21:23. > :21:23.about the nudity. It's about what you are not showing and teasing the

:21:24. > :21:34.audience with fabric and costumes. Eliza is one of an increasing number

:21:35. > :21:40.of burlesque performers in a thriving East Midlands scene. She

:21:41. > :21:43.runs her own club. A lot of burlesque performers are coming off

:21:44. > :21:56.a stage wearing more than you would see on a beach. Burlesque with pens

:21:57. > :22:01.and felt tips. Artists onstage and sketched by artists in the audience.

:22:02. > :22:07.There is no traffic to stop the Yorkshire performer, , but the new

:22:08. > :22:13.burlesque revival almost shuddered to a halt when a council banned her

:22:14. > :22:17.show. As soon as somebody tries to tell me what I chose to do with my

:22:18. > :22:21.time, and what is a genuine passion in my life, I'm going to fight for

:22:22. > :22:30.that. The Hebden Bridge Picture House in West Yorkshire, where

:22:31. > :22:33.burlesque was banned. There were a lot of concerns by a sizeable number
