:01:15. > :01:18.twins who, their parents say, have missed out on months of schooling.
:01:19. > :01:23.The girls both have disabilities, and need to be assessed by the
:01:24. > :01:26.council. The family have been waiting since last June for some
:01:27. > :01:29.kind of decision, but they're still waiting. There may be places at a
:01:30. > :01:33.mainstream school over a mile from home, but the girls would have to
:01:34. > :01:35.travel there in their wheelchairs, because the council won't fund
:01:36. > :01:46.special transport. Jo Healey reports.
:01:47. > :01:55.Their first day yesterday, ten years marked by surgery. Two years ago,
:01:56. > :01:59.the underwent a pioneering operation on their spines. Last June, they
:02:00. > :02:03.moved from Birmingham to Derby. Since then, that concern has not
:02:04. > :02:15.been just their health but their education. My favourite subject is
:02:16. > :02:20.maths and English at school. And my friends. I miss going back to
:02:21. > :02:24.school. They are highly dependent. We have been struggling throughout
:02:25. > :02:29.and haven't been able to get any schooling, home education, it has
:02:30. > :02:34.been uphill. Derby City Council has a school in mind. The family say it

:02:51. > :02:55.up in hospital again and if we have to do this every day in the cold and
:02:56. > :02:59.rain... He said the council doesn't want them to have their electric
:03:00. > :03:06.chairs at school. How much do you need your wheelchairs with you? We
:03:07. > :03:13.need our school `` our chairs. I can't stand, my legs hurt. If you
:03:14. > :03:19.walk, your legs hurt. We can walk a little bit but we have to get back
:03:20. > :03:25.into our chairs. I am really worried in terms of safety for my daughters.
:03:26. > :03:30.I am frustrated as to why they have been out of school for so long.
:03:31. > :03:34.Today, they set off to school for their first assessment. Before
:03:35. > :03:38.long, they had to turn back, one of the chairs have broken down.
:03:39. > :03:42.Jo Healey is with us now. Jo, what are Derby City Council saying about
:03:43. > :03:47.this tonight? In the past hour, we have finally
:03:48. > :03:53.had a statement from the council, from the Director of learning and
:03:54. > :03:58.inclusion. She says since the family moved to Derby, they have worked to
:03:59. > :04:04.secure a school place and have found a good local school to provide for
:04:05. > :04:09.the needs of the children. She said the family have been encouraged to
:04:10. > :04:15.apply for help with travel, transport, but that will begin with
:04:16. > :04:22.being reimbursed for fuel. Those heavy wheelchairs can't fit into
:04:23. > :04:26.their car. The council says it puts the needs of children first and
:04:27. > :04:30.works with parents to ensure their needs are met consistently and
:04:31. > :04:32.fairly. What they are not giving is a date for when the girls can
:04:33. > :04:38.finally start school. The father of a Lincolnshire man who
:04:39. > :04:42.murdered 10`year`old Rosie May Storrie has vowed to fight on to

:05:46. > :05:49.Finally, it means we can get on with our lives and go forward in a

:08:49. > :08:56.The government has rejected calls for more cash to improve one of the

:09:01. > :09:05.isn't a business case to justify it. That's despite lobbying by regional
:09:06. > :09:08.MPs and local councils. They claim the Castle Railway Line from
:09:09. > :09:18.Nottingham to Lincoln, via Newark, should be a top priority. Here's our
:09:19. > :09:24.political editor John Hess. Good evening. I have some railway
:09:25. > :09:26.figures. Ten years ago, the Newark Castle
:09:27. > :09:31.line carried 650,000 passengers. That's a lot.
:09:32. > :09:36.Last year, that figure had fallen to 350,000, almost half.
:09:37. > :09:37.So, is the Castle Line really a suitable case for investment when
:09:38. > :09:49.it's got a faster rival? The East Coast Main Line from Newark
:09:50. > :09:54.gets passengers into London in just over one hour and 22 minutes. It
:09:55. > :09:58.would take you just as long on the Castle Line from Newark to
:09:59. > :10:04.Nottingham, a third of the distance. The government is talking

:10:10. > :10:10.help. There are always too many people on it. If 0
:10:11. > :10:13.help. There are always too many people on it. If the trend was more
:10:14. > :10:21.frequent it would be better. The Castle Line opened in 1846 and is
:10:22. > :10:25.regarded as an important railway. Local politicians want new
:10:26. > :10:32.investment to cut journey times. We all want this to succeed, as far
:10:33. > :10:41.west as Nottingham. Last month, councillors lobbied MPs
