critically, after a bus collided with another vehicle in Ardrossan

The emergency services declared the crash this afternoon

Our correspondent Jamie McIvor was at the scene.

The accident happened just north of Ardrossan. The bus was on the road

from clinic to air. It was in a collision with another vehicle. One

person was pronounced dead at the scene. There name has not been made

public. Some others were in a scene. There name has not been made

critical condition. Two people were taken by road and air ambulance to

hospital. Others were treated at the scene or taken to hospital in, neck.

The police are still trying to work out what happened. The bus company

says the safety of staff and passengers as their top priority and

they will become operating with the investigation.

Police say an unidentified female body has been found

in the West Dunbartonshire town of Clydebank.

The discovery was made at lunchtime, at a location off Great Western

The police said the death is currently being treated

It was a blood contamination scandal that affected thousands of people,

and an inquiry made just one recommendation -

yet lawyers say that recommendation still hasn't been carried out.

In the 1970s, 80s and 90s, thousands of people got deadly

One year on from an inquiry into the disaster, nothing has been

done to trace those who still don't know they were infected.

Our Health Correspondent Eleanor Bradford spoke to one man who found

out just weeks ago that he's one of them.

Paul met me in his lawyer's office, he wants his identity hidden.

He has just been diagnosed with hepatitis C.

He now knows it's been in his system since May 1991 when he had a blood

transfusion just before screening came in.

I'm out of work at the moment because of it because I can't work,

I physically can't work, I've not got the energy

and the sickness every day is just another thing to try and deal with.

A year ago the ?12 million Penrose inquiry into contaminated blood came

to just one conclusion, that a look back exercise should

That could be anyone who had a blood transfusion before September 1991.

One firm of lawyers says people like Paul are still coming forward.

All from accidents and being blood transfusions.

So it seems kind of crazy, doesn't it, that you as a firm

of solicitors have found three cases, and yet as far as you know

the NHS hasn't proactively done anything?

Not to my knowledge, they have not done anything proactively.

The feedback from the clients is they feel out on a limb.

Last week the Scottish Government announced increased support payments

The Health Secretary says an expert group is working on tracing other

victims and will produce a plan in the summer.

There have been attempts in the past to try and trace people and get

But Professor Goldberg is looking at what more we can do to meet

I was a fit and healthy guy up until 15, 16 months ago.

I had everything in life and now I've got to rely on the Government.

How many other Pauls are out there is still unclear.

They are yet to find out they are the last victims

of the worst disaster the NHS has ever known.

Major engineering works have shut a tunnel so trains

There were a few ruffled feathers but most of the date seems

I came a bit earlier to try and get a train.

Unfortunately due to there being so many queues and confusion

It is not ideal but the trains are busy anyway because we are

on the Edinburgh line so it means more of a delay getting home.

I don't think I will take the train anymore if it is like this.

So far this is the first day, not much problem.

You have two minutes to catch the train.

platforms lengthened and preparations made

It's only the second day in and we are very pleased.

Our customers flow through the station very well.

And our customers seem to have understood our message that

Queen Street is not closed, it's only the high level that's

unavailable and we are running many, many services through the low-level

and all destinations are still served.

The concourse is really quiet today, normally thronged with the sound

This is one of Scotland's's busiest railway stations with around 80,000

people coming through here every day.

So far people are being good-natured and understanding

about the engineering works but today is only day two

It is the best thing I ever done in my life.

Singer Lulu has recorded a charity single and at every show on her 35

date tour a local choir will join her on stage.

The excitement and anticipation is mounting.

We are nervous because Lulu has been 50 years in show business and knows

what she is doing and we are just a military wives choir

so it is quite daunting but we are excited.

I did not think I would get the opportunity to join a military

wives choir when I saw it happening on television.

I thought I would have to be really good at singing.

I did not realise how friendly and open it would be.

With some nerves jangling it is time to take the stage with the star.

They have their trials and tribulations.

Lulu's tour continues this month than throughout April

while the popularity of the military wives choirs shows no

start in places. More in the way of cloud. That will be the pattern. A

cloudy start a Northern Ireland, Wales and Western England. Where you

do have the sunshine it will be a cold start in places. Cloud building

up. Still some good sunny spells on the South coast. North of the border

much like to date, the best of the sunshine will be across Angus, Fife,

Lothians and the Borders. He is of 12 or 13 Celsius.

Rain for the north and Western isles and north and West coasts. That will

continue into tomorrow evening. Waiting state, a weather front

approaching from the West. A narrow band of rain. Eastern parts stay

largely dry. Any rain here will be right and patchy. As we head into

Thursday it is looking more and settle for all of us. Outbreaks of

rain, persistent and heavy at times in the north-west.

That is all for now. Good night.
