Welcome to Wales today. The headlines. | :00:05. | :00:08. | |
Cardiff Airport has lost more passengers than any further in the | :00:08. | :00:12. | |
UK. Its former boss questions its future. | :00:12. | :00:18. | |
It sends out a bleak single pitch next signal for the airport and | :00:18. | :00:22. | |
Wales, because it is not just important as a transport hub, it is | :00:22. | :00:32. | |
:00:32. | :00:42. | ||
important economically and Also, the moment a passenger train | :00:42. | :00:46. | |
hits a tractor trailer left on the line. A judge says the farmer was | :00:46. | :00:52. | |
stupid as he is sentenced. Attacks on fatty foods, a health | :00:52. | :00:56. | |
expert says it will slim down the numbers of obese people. | :00:56. | :01:00. | |
Wales' coastal path could be seeing many more visitors after it is | :01:00. | :01:05. | |
named the greatest region on earth to visit next year. | :01:05. | :01:09. | |
And, while some may be getting shirty over Wales' footballer | :01:09. | :01:16. | |
Gareth Bale in a British Olympic team top. | :01:17. | :01:21. | |
Good evening. It is a gateway to the world. | :01:21. | :01:25. | |
Important for business and tourism. But the former boss of Cardiff | :01:25. | :01:28. | |
Airport has called into question its future viability. The airport | :01:28. | :01:31. | |
has lost more passengers in the last three years than any other | :01:31. | :01:36. | |
major UK airport. But details have been released about a new service | :01:36. | :01:46. | |
:01:46. | :01:49. | ||
It has been a tough time for airports across the UK. Since 2007, | :01:49. | :01:54. | |
most of lost passengers. Cardiff more than most. The result is what | :01:54. | :01:59. | |
you see behind me, and edited looking terminal building. For | :01:59. | :02:03. | |
Cardiff, the heart of the difficulties has been the decision | :02:03. | :02:07. | |
by the bmibaby to pull out of the airport, the last be on my baby | :02:07. | :02:13. | |
flight leaves from here on Sunday. -- BMI baby flight. They have been | :02:13. | :02:18. | |
here 10 years, and it marks the end of an era. | :02:18. | :02:23. | |
This flight from Zurich touches down at Cardiff. It is one of the | :02:23. | :02:27. | |
relatively new routes. The aim is to replace the business lost after | :02:27. | :02:32. | |
the budget airline BMI baby decided to pull out. After dominating | :02:32. | :02:39. | |
services here in Cardiff, it has cut back, and on Sunday, the last | :02:39. | :02:43. | |
flight will leave. That reduction in recent years has been reflected | :02:43. | :02:49. | |
on the ground. In 2007, there were 2.1 million passengers flying in | :02:49. | :02:56. | |
and out of Cardiff. In 2010, there were 1.4 million, a reduction of a | :02:56. | :03:01. | |
third. The biggest fall of any major airport in the UK. Keith | :03:01. | :03:04. | |
Brooks used to be the chief executive of the company which | :03:04. | :03:08. | |
owned the airport, alongside many others around the world, before | :03:08. | :03:14. | |
selling to the Spanish firm in 2005. He says the fall in passenger | :03:14. | :03:20. | |
numbers is a cause for serious concern. The fear is, where does it | :03:20. | :03:26. | |
stop? Once you get below a million passengers, is there any viability | :03:26. | :03:30. | |
as a major airport? What kind of message does that send to airlines | :03:30. | :03:35. | |
who might think about operating from Cardiff? What message does it | :03:35. | :03:39. | |
send about or Wales pin back capital city to the rest of the | :03:39. | :03:44. | |
world? An airport is a barometer of economic activity and what the | :03:44. | :03:48. | |
world thinks of you. Cardiff now has 40 destinations. What do | :03:48. | :03:56. | |
passengers think of what is on offer? Everything here is fine. The | :03:56. | :04:02. | |
staff are good, the food, everything. It serves the local | :04:02. | :04:06. | |
community, and it should be developed and supported by as many | :04:06. | :04:11. | |
as possible. It was announced that the Spanish budget airline would | :04:11. | :04:15. | |
begin flying directly to Barcelona from next spring. Managers believe | :04:15. | :04:20. | |
there is potential for the airline to expand its roots. The airline | :04:20. | :04:27. | |
have said that if this route is a success, it will develop a positive | :04:27. | :04:30. | |
relationship, and from that we should see increased success. We | :04:30. | :04:36. | |
have got to start small, C Howard goes. We believe the people of the | :04:36. | :04:39. | |
Welsh region will embrace the route, and from that, we had to increase | :04:39. | :04:45. | |
the benefits. If Cardiff is going to attract more airlines, the role | :04:45. | :04:49. | |
of the Welsh government will be critical. It is governed by strict | :04:49. | :04:53. | |
EU rules, which prevent state subsidies, but the main marketing | :04:53. | :04:57. | |
does it -- Organisation for Cardiff says there are ways around it. | :04:57. | :05:05. | |
Scottish government had a brute Development Fund. There are a | :05:05. | :05:08. | |
number of different organisations that are working with carriers and | :05:08. | :05:12. | |
airports, and it is about being creative and making sure that it is | :05:12. | :05:16. | |
about the marketing and raising demand for travel to Cardiff. | :05:17. | :05:22. | |
Managers say the loss of bmibaby provides them with an opportunity. | :05:22. | :05:29. | |
They will be proved right if more new airlines can be attracted here. | :05:29. | :05:34. | |
Mixed fortunes at Cardiff Airport. How big a bloke is be bmibaby | :05:34. | :05:42. | |
leaving going to be? It is symbolic. The nine years ago, there was a lot | :05:42. | :05:46. | |
of excitement when they came here. The current difficulties of the | :05:46. | :05:50. | |
airport could be traced back to the view that, at the time, Cardiff | :05:50. | :05:54. | |
backed the wrong budget airline. Compare the fortunes of Bristol | :05:54. | :06:01. | |
Airport. They have easyJet. EasyJet alone from Bristol flies to 42 | :06:01. | :06:07. | |
destinations, with more than 250 flights a week. Compare that with | :06:07. | :06:11. | |
bmibaby, which has deteriorated over the years, and will come to an | :06:11. | :06:14. | |
end this weekend. It is nothing like the presence it was a number | :06:14. | :06:20. | |
of years ago, and it has been a gradual decline. It is only one | :06:21. | :06:26. | |
book, but positive news about these flights to Barcelona. Yes, we | :06:26. | :06:33. | |
should take it seriously, it is the biggest budget airline in Spain. | :06:33. | :06:38. | |
There is also the opportunity to bring Spanish tourists into Wales. | :06:38. | :06:41. | |
We talk about the fortunes of the airport in terms of Welsh | :06:41. | :06:45. | |
passengers, giving them the option to fly around the world, but for | :06:45. | :06:48. | |
the Welsh economy, it is more important you can bring in tourists | :06:48. | :06:55. | |
to spend money locally. People get very passionate about the fortunes | :06:55. | :06:58. | |
of Cardiff Airport. It is an extension of national pride. Lots | :06:58. | :07:07. | |
of people are desperate for this place to be more successful. | :07:07. | :07:12. | |
A judge has told the farmer he was incredibly stupid after he left a | :07:12. | :07:17. | |
trail on a rail line which was hit by a passenger train. John James | :07:17. | :07:26. | |
left it on a main crossing while he went to open a gate. | :07:26. | :07:29. | |
When the driver of this passenger train spotted the trailer, there | :07:29. | :07:34. | |
was little he could do. Fearing the worst, he hit the brakes and dive | :07:34. | :07:39. | |
to the floor for cover. Miraculously, nobody was hurt. John | :07:39. | :07:42. | |
James told the court how he had driven the tractor over the | :07:42. | :07:46. | |
crossing and left it for a few moments to open a gate. He admitted | :07:46. | :07:51. | |
he had not called the signalmen to get clearance. The court heard how | :07:51. | :07:56. | |
the farmer was carrying hay on the trailer to go and feed horses at | :07:56. | :07:59. | |
his farm in Kidwelly. One passenger described how he saw James feeding | :08:00. | :08:05. | |
animals straight after the accident. �82,000 worth of damage was caused | :08:05. | :08:11. | |
to the train, and it brought delays to for services. The judge said, or | :08:11. | :08:16. | |
what you did was stupid. He took a risk to save yourself a few minutes. | :08:16. | :08:21. | |
You put yourself, passengers and staff at risk. It was incredibly | :08:21. | :08:25. | |
frightening. John James was given a nine-month suspended sentence and | :08:25. | :08:29. | |
ordered to carry out community service. John James said he was | :08:29. | :08:39. | |
:08:39. | :08:48. | ||
It will happen again. You're sorry? Absolutely, yes. I am lucky ever | :08:48. | :08:54. | |
been turned out well. Even though the passengers on board on this | :08:54. | :08:57. | |
service were not injured, the debris from the accident was spread | :08:57. | :09:01. | |
far and wide. It landed in the surrounding fields. Investigating | :09:01. | :09:05. | |
officers said it was amazing the train did not the rail. It is only | :09:05. | :09:09. | |
by good luck that the driver of the train and the passengers were not | :09:09. | :09:14. | |
more seriously injured. The judge had commented that, had more | :09:14. | :09:19. | |
injuries occurred, the farmer would have received a custodial sentence, | :09:19. | :09:23. | |
and he described him as extremely stupid. James agrees that his | :09:23. | :09:27. | |
actions were stupid, and he realises that he and the passengers | :09:27. | :09:33. | |
are lucky to be alive. A man from Wrexham has been | :09:33. | :09:37. | |
arrested at Heathrow airport on his return from Cambodia. Nicholas | :09:37. | :09:41. | |
Griffin ran an orphanage there and he has been taken to a police | :09:41. | :09:43. | |
station to be questioned on suspicion of a serious sexual | :09:43. | :09:47. | |
assault. A man who was three times over the | :09:47. | :09:51. | |
drink-drive limit as he drove with his partner and her baby in his car | :09:51. | :09:55. | |
has been banned from driving for two years. Stephen Gallacher from | :09:55. | :10:00. | |
Wrexham denies the offence but was found guilty by magistrates. He was | :10:00. | :10:06. | |
ordered to carry out unpaid work and pay �900 in court costs. | :10:06. | :10:11. | |
Another case of E-coli has been diagnosed as part of the outbreak | :10:11. | :10:15. | |
associated with this nursery on Anglesey. It brings the total | :10:15. | :10:21. | |
number of cases diagnosed 28. -- up to eight. | :10:21. | :10:26. | |
Would you pay extra for chocolate, crisps or cheese? That is what an | :10:26. | :10:32. | |
obesity expert is calling for. Dr Nadim Haboubi also wants healthy | :10:32. | :10:37. | |
foods to be subsidised. If you want to fill the trolley | :10:37. | :10:43. | |
with fatty foods and sugary snacks, it should in future cost you more. | :10:43. | :10:47. | |
That is the view of Dr Nadim Haboubi. An adviser to the Welsh | :10:47. | :10:51. | |
government and an expert on obesity. Although they do not have the | :10:51. | :10:56. | |
powers to do it, he wants to see Cardiff Bay introduce a tax on | :10:56. | :11:04. | |
high-fat food. Why don't we have subsidy on the healthy foods or | :11:04. | :11:13. | |
organic foods, vegetables, low-fat food? Why don't we put tax on on | :11:13. | :11:19. | |
healthy food, like we do on cigarettes and alcohol? We are | :11:19. | :11:25. | |
getting fatter. In Wales, 60% of adults are overweight. 20% are | :11:25. | :11:29. | |
obese. Earlier this month, Denmark became the first country to reduce | :11:29. | :11:36. | |
the idea. In the shop, any food with more than 2.3% of saturated | :11:36. | :11:42. | |
fat, butter, milk and meat, is now taxed. The theory, make it more | :11:42. | :11:48. | |
expensive, put people off buying it and improve health. Some people are | :11:48. | :11:52. | |
hoarding food to beat the rise. When asked at the Conservative | :11:52. | :11:56. | |
Party conference, the Prime Minister said it was something his | :11:56. | :12:01. | |
government should look. These shoppers had mixed views. It is a | :12:01. | :12:11. | |
good idea. They will eat better food. You are not getting much | :12:11. | :12:18. | |
money now, so why pay more? There is one big question. Is it our | :12:18. | :12:22. | |
responsibility to eat a healthier diet or should the government be | :12:22. | :12:26. | |
actively encouraging us to become healthier? One-man who knows all | :12:26. | :12:30. | |
about changing his lifestyle is the Stuart Howells. In the past two | :12:30. | :12:35. | |
years, it has lost more than 12 stone, half his body weight. He | :12:35. | :12:45. | |
:12:45. | :12:53. | ||
does not think higher prices would Parts of society it is -- it is | :12:53. | :12:59. | |
punishing all parts of society. will hit had most families who are | :12:59. | :13:05. | |
already struggling. We have seen data this week that many families | :13:05. | :13:10. | |
are �15 a week worse of this year than last year. The Welsh | :13:10. | :13:18. | |
Government says it will not commit to this at the moment. | :13:18. | :13:24. | |
Still to come in the programme. It's the railway that inspired the | :13:24. | :13:28. | |
author of Thomas the Tank Engine. Now it's on track for a special | :13:28. | :13:38. | |
:13:38. | :13:40. | ||
award. What does this railway have in common with Bletchley Park bomb | :13:40. | :13:49. | |
code-breaking machine? I will have the answer later. | :13:49. | :13:52. | |
Why a leading travel guide has named Wales Coastal Path as one of | :13:52. | :13:55. | |
the greatest places on earth to visit next year. | :13:55. | :13:58. | |
From this weekend, pub goers in North Wales will be able to get a | :13:58. | :14:01. | |
taste of the past as Wrexham Lager makes a return to the town. | :14:01. | :14:04. | |
Production of the drink stopped in 2003 after it had brewed locally | :14:04. | :14:08. | |
for 120 years. Now a group of local businessmen and former employees | :14:08. | :14:11. | |
are kick-starting a revival. It's been brewing for a long time. The | :14:11. | :14:15. | |
first pint of a new generation of Wrexham Lager is about to be pulled. | :14:15. | :14:18. | |
A group of local businessmen has recreated the classic recipe at a | :14:18. | :14:28. | |
:14:28. | :14:28. | ||
microbrewery in the town. We are using the original ingredients. It | :14:28. | :14:32. | |
was hard work trying to find everything to go back to the | :14:32. | :14:39. | |
original. We have managed to do that and hopefully, we think we | :14:39. | :14:42. | |
have it spot on. After brewing ended in Wrexham in 2000, Carlsberg | :14:42. | :14:45. | |
Tetley moved production to England before closing it down three years | :14:45. | :14:50. | |
later. Here at Wrexham Lager Club, punters agree with the purists who | :14:50. | :14:52. | |
said the strength and flavour had been weakened and that's why it | :14:52. | :15:00. | |
ended up going down the drain. went to Blackburn for a while but | :15:00. | :15:10. | |
:15:10. | :15:12. | ||
it was not the same drink. It went to Leeds before they faced it out. | :15:12. | :15:18. | |
There were comments saying it did not taste the same. That is what | :15:18. | :15:22. | |
people's opinions were. Former MP and Wrexham Lager employee Martyn | :15:22. | :15:25. | |
Jones owns the name and logo and having seen previous relaunch | :15:25. | :15:32. | |
attempts fail is thrilled that the lager's about to be back on tap. | :15:32. | :15:38. | |
Wrexham is a great town. We have the football team and we had a | :15:38. | :15:44. | |
Wrexham Lager. It is a boost for the town and for people who want | :15:44. | :15:48. | |
good lager. I am delighted. There's mouth watering anticipation as | :15:48. | :15:51. | |
brewers prepare to roll out the barrels once more. If Wrexham Lager | :15:51. | :15:55. | |
hits the spot like it used to then the team hope to expand and create | :15:55. | :16:00. | |
more jobs. That surely would go down well with everyone. | :16:00. | :16:04. | |
Wales' coastal path has been chosen as the greatest region on Earth to | :16:04. | :16:08. | |
visit next year. The 870-mile trail, which is due to be completed next | :16:08. | :16:12. | |
year, features on the list of the best things to see in 2012 by a | :16:12. | :16:22. | |
:16:22. | :16:26. | ||
leading travel guide. Jenny Rees has been finding out why. Uganda's | :16:26. | :16:29. | |
safaris and the sights of London all feature in the Lonely Planet's | :16:29. | :16:34. | |
Best in Travel Guide for 2012, as well as this: The Wales coast path. | :16:34. | :16:37. | |
Weaving around the edge of the country, it takes in blue flag | :16:37. | :16:40. | |
beaches, castles and the odd nature reserve. It will even link up with | :16:40. | :16:48. | |
Offa's Dyke for the full circuit of Wales. It was the Welsh Government | :16:48. | :16:52. | |
initiative and the Countryside Council for Wales project managed | :16:52. | :16:57. | |
on its behalf. It works with all the authorities around the country. | :16:57. | :17:04. | |
The path is already a big draw for those living on its doorstep. | :17:04. | :17:12. | |
the beauty of it all. It is just so serene. It is never ending. The | :17:12. | :17:22. | |
:17:22. | :17:25. | ||
coastal path is a Magan -- it is magnificent. From 5th May, you will | :17:25. | :17:31. | |
be able to go all around the country. It proves that investing | :17:31. | :17:36. | |
in this kind of project is worthwhile. The Lonely Planet will | :17:36. | :17:41. | |
go out to a worldwide audience and attract visitors. The path makes | :17:41. | :17:45. | |
Wales unique. When it is completed next year, Wales will be the only | :17:45. | :17:48. | |
country in the world where you can walk the entire length of its | :17:48. | :17:52. | |
coastline. Tonight's sport now with Claire. | :17:52. | :17:55. | |
Could Welsh bosses be a bit shirty with Gareth Bale? | :17:55. | :17:58. | |
Good evening. Yes, it's an on-going debate. Should Welsh football | :17:58. | :18:02. | |
players be allowed to be part an Olympic GB Team? Well, Wales | :18:02. | :18:04. | |
midfielder Gareth Bale has risked upsetting some by becoming the | :18:04. | :18:09. | |
first player to pose in a British Olympic team shirt. The Football | :18:09. | :18:11. | |
Association of Wales, along with those of Scotland and Northern | :18:11. | :18:21. | |
Ireland, has opposed its players Gareth Bale, not in the red of | :18:21. | :18:25. | |
Wales, but the blue of Team GB. By posing for the British Olympic team, | :18:25. | :18:29. | |
he's defied his bosses at the Football Association of Wales. They | :18:29. | :18:38. | |
want their players to have nothing to do with it. Bale says he's keen | :18:38. | :18:42. | |
to play at the London Games. The FAW says it's not going to stop | :18:42. | :18:45. | |
anyone playing, but it's concerned a British team could risk its | :18:45. | :18:52. | |
footballing independence. Cardiff City manager Malky Mackay, who's | :18:52. | :18:55. | |
preparing for his side's trip to Leeds this Sunday, says playing at | :18:55. | :19:05. | |
:19:05. | :19:06. | ||
the Olympics would prove an extra burden. We have these international | :19:06. | :19:15. | |
breaks with players going. International managers are very | :19:15. | :19:20. | |
respectful but any more football is something I do not really want. I | :19:20. | :19:24. | |
want them here. Elsewhere, Swansea City, who drew 2-2 away at Wolves | :19:24. | :19:27. | |
last weekend, face Bolton at the Liberty Stadium where they've been | :19:27. | :19:37. | |
:19:37. | :19:41. | ||
unbeaten this season. Perhaps their better performances have been away | :19:41. | :19:46. | |
from home. We know the test is going to be a tough test but we | :19:47. | :19:52. | |
have great confidence at home. The supporters have been incredible for | :19:52. | :19:56. | |
us. Both Newport and Wrexham will be playing for a place in the first | :19:56. | :19:59. | |
round proper of the FA CUP tomorrow. But events off the field are | :20:00. | :20:02. | |
overshadowing preparations at Wrexham. Caretaker boss Andy Morell | :20:02. | :20:05. | |
says continuing delays over the club's proposed takeover means a | :20:05. | :20:15. | |
:20:15. | :20:15. | ||
new permanent manager still hasn't It's back to the Pro 12 for the | :20:15. | :20:18. | |
Welsh rugby regions this weekend. Tomorrow, the Blues are away to | :20:18. | :20:20. | |
Connacht, the Scarlets welcome Ulster and Treviso is the | :20:20. | :20:23. | |
destination for the Dragons. But the action kicks off tonight though, | :20:23. | :20:28. | |
the Ospreys are away to Glasgow. They've won six out of six in the | :20:28. | :20:32. | |
Pro 12 so far this season. You can see that game on Scrum V Live | :20:32. | :20:36. | |
tonight, BBC 2 Wales from 7 o'clock. It's a Wales England clash in Rugby | :20:36. | :20:39. | |
League tomorrow as the Four Nations tournament kicks off. It's the | :20:39. | :20:42. | |
first time Wales have qualified for the competition which will see them | :20:42. | :20:46. | |
take on the best sides in the World. Coach Iestyn Harris says his young | :20:46. | :20:50. | |
side face a huge challenge. The four nations and Wales will start | :20:50. | :20:53. | |
as the fourth ranked team. But that isn't worrying Iestyn Harris. He | :20:53. | :20:57. | |
knows his young side face a huge challenge over the few weeks. But | :20:57. | :21:07. | |
:21:07. | :21:07. | ||
he's relishing exposing them to the highest level. We had some private | :21:07. | :21:13. | |
goals we wanted to achieve a couple of years ago. We are probably ahead | :21:13. | :21:20. | |
of schedule with that. The players have worked so hard over the last | :21:20. | :21:28. | |
couple of years. We are fully prepared for what is ahead of us. | :21:28. | :21:32. | |
We're excited and optimistic about it. France usually take the fourth | :21:32. | :21:35. | |
spot in the competition alongside England, New Zealand and Australia, | :21:35. | :21:38. | |
but Wales beat them to qualify. It was a try from Gareth Thomas that | :21:38. | :21:42. | |
helped them win by a point. His retirement this week hasn't been | :21:42. | :21:45. | |
the best timing for the squad but Wales are boosted by the return of | :21:45. | :21:49. | |
captain Lee Briers. He missed last weekend's friendly win over Ireland | :21:49. | :21:59. | |
:21:59. | :22:01. | ||
and says he's out to lead from the front. Part of our nature makes us | :22:01. | :22:10. | |
underdogs. Some of the kids have only been playing rugby league for | :22:10. | :22:19. | |
five years. It is going to be tough. It will be a good challenge. Last | :22:19. | :22:22. | |
year's final saw New Zealand beat Australia. The champions are Wales' | :22:23. | :22:28. | |
next opponents on November 5. Expect plenty of fireworks. | :22:28. | :22:32. | |
You can watch the game tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock here on BBC | :22:32. | :22:35. | |
One Wales and Sport Wales will be looking ahead tonight. That's BBC | :22:35. | :22:45. | |

Two Wales from 9 o'clock. How do you like trains? This was | :22:58. | :23:01. | |
the first volunteer-run railway in the world and inspired the author | :23:01. | :23:03. | |
of a favourite children's book series. This weekend, the Talyllyn | :23:03. | :23:06. | |
railway in Gwynedd will receive a prestigious award in recognition of | :23:06. | :23:08. | |
both its historic and engineering significance, placing it alongside | :23:08. | :23:15. | |
past winners such as Tower Bridge For almost 150 years, steam engines | :23:15. | :23:18. | |
like this one have ferried people from the Welsh coast into the | :23:18. | :23:25. | |
foothills of Snowdonia along the Talyllyn railway. Today, the | :23:25. | :23:28. | |
majority of passengers are tourists but the tracks were laid to carry | :23:28. | :23:36. | |
slate and workers to the Bryn Eglwys Quarry near Abergynolwyn. | :23:36. | :23:39. | |
The quarry closed in 1946 and when the line's owner, Sir Haydn Jones, | :23:39. | :23:42. | |
passed away a few years later, it seemed inevitable that the railway | :23:42. | :23:47. | |
would have to close too. That's when a bunch of willing volunteers | :23:47. | :23:52. | |
stepped in. One of those eager to lend a hand was this man, Sir | :23:52. | :24:01. | |
Wilbert Awdry, famous of course for The author had already created | :24:01. | :24:04. | |
Thomas the Tank when he arrived in Snowdonia but many of his other | :24:04. | :24:07. | |
characters and tales were based on his experiences working on the | :24:07. | :24:13. | |
Talyllyn railway. His study has since been moved to the museum in | :24:13. | :24:17. | |
Tywyn. His efforts and those of his co-volunteers are the reason the | :24:17. | :24:20. | |
Institute of Mechanical Engineers has decided to recognise the | :24:20. | :24:29. | |
Talyllyn railway with its Engineering Heritage Award. | :24:29. | :24:34. | |
years ago, volunteers decided to it saved this railway and since then | :24:34. | :24:41. | |
all Our Heritage railways have started from there. Think of how | :24:41. | :24:46. | |
many engines have been saved to now create the leisure business we have | :24:46. | :24:54. | |
in heritage railways. Other recipients of the award include the | :24:54. | :24:56. | |
Vulcan Bomber, the Bletchley Park code breaking machine and the | :24:56. | :25:06. | |
Ffestiniog railway. It is fantastic. It is nice recognition for the | :25:06. | :25:15. | |
railway. It is with an illustrious company. It is good news. It's 60 | :25:15. | :25:17. | |
years since Reverend Wilbert Audry and his colleagues saved this | :25:17. | :25:20. | |
historic railway. What better way to celebrate that landmark than by | :25:20. | :25:24. | |
receiving this award in recognition of their efforts? A special | :25:24. | :25:30. | |
ceremony to mark the achievement will be held on Sunday afternoon. | :25:30. | :25:40. | |

BBC. Vincent Tabak is sentenced to life | :27:25. | :27:28. | |
for the killing of Joanna Yeates. The judge said he had committed a | :27:28. | :27:31. | |
