:00:11. > :00:12.With your news now for the East Midlands, I'm Maurice Flynn.

:00:13. > :00:14.Two heritage giants were rolled into one today,

:00:15. > :00:18.as a train was named after a plane - the Vulcan bomber.

:00:19. > :00:21.Although the Vulcan is now mothballed in retirement,

:00:22. > :00:24.the last flying one was restored to air-worthiness at Bruntingthorpe.

:00:25. > :00:27.Today one of its pilots was at the Great Central Railway

:00:28. > :00:34.for the unveiling of the new Vulcan Express.

:00:35. > :00:37.When I was invited along, I thought I would be coming along

:00:38. > :00:40.just to do a few photographs and be involved in naming the train,

:00:41. > :00:43.and I was over the moon when someone said, actually,

:00:44. > :00:44.you're going to be right on the footplate.

:00:45. > :00:47.When I flew over this particular train two years ago,

:00:48. > :00:50.at the time it was just an event we were asked to do,

:00:51. > :00:53.and I had no idea there would be a collaboration between the Vulcan

:00:54. > :00:55.and the steam train, and that the steam train

:00:56. > :00:58.would eventually be renamed the Vulcan Express, so it's a real

:00:59. > :01:03.honour to be here and be involved in that today.

:01:04. > :01:05.All small boys always dream of driving steam trains,

:01:06. > :01:12.I am used to flying a vintage aircraft,

:01:13. > :01:15.with '40s or '50s technology, and this is similar.

:01:16. > :01:19.It's obviously from that kind of era.

:01:20. > :01:21.It's quite different to flying an aircraft,

:01:22. > :01:26.The experience was out of this world.

:01:27. > :01:31.The train is obviously a vintage, British-built piece of machinery -

:01:32. > :01:33.a little bit like the Vulcan, British-built.

:01:34. > :01:36.But it was a real experience to witness and see it being driven,

:01:37. > :01:43.These steam trains, and also hopefully the Vulcan in the future,

:01:44. > :01:47.It is obviously important for all children in future

:01:48. > :01:50.generations to be able to come along and see and understand a little

:01:51. > :01:57.Police investigating reports of a gun being fired in Nottingham

:01:58. > :02:02.It's after officers were called on Tuesday to Overdale Road,

:02:03. > :02:05.where a man in his 20s had suffered an injury.

:02:06. > :02:07.A 24-year-old man's been arrested today on suspicion

:02:08. > :02:13.Two women, and another man arrested previously, have been bailed

:02:14. > :02:19.Efforts have been made to revive one of the country's oldest

:02:20. > :02:23.It's thought to be the third-oldest in England.

:02:24. > :02:26.Those who run it are trying to emulate the success

:02:27. > :02:30.of Loughborough, which was voted Market of the Year.

:02:31. > :02:32.In the first phase of changes, they've altered the market's layout

:02:33. > :02:35.and invested in modern gazebos to better protect stallholders

:02:36. > :02:43.It's not going to be life-changing, but it's a more pleasant appearance

:02:44. > :02:48.and it's a brighter look for the marketplace.

:02:49. > :02:52.I think, over the years, different markets have set up in the town,

:02:53. > :02:54.and certainly the cattle market and other places, and it's become

:02:55. > :03:03.Some of the old stalls were getting a bit corroded,

:03:04. > :03:06.and they looked a bit untidy, but these look nice and fresh

:03:07. > :03:15.Sport, and in football, just one result for you today.

:03:16. > :03:17.It's in the Premier League, where Leicester City drew

:03:18. > :03:22.And Leicester Tigers were playing at home in this

:03:23. > :03:29.Let's check the weather now for the weekend and bank holiday.

:03:30. > :03:34.Today and Easter Monday looking like better bets for the drier

:03:35. > :03:37.On the way tomorrow, we've got some rain,

:03:38. > :03:40.courtesy of this waving front, making its way across from

:03:41. > :03:42.west to east as we move through the day tomorrow.

:03:43. > :03:44.First of all, though, some late spells of sunshine

:03:45. > :03:48.We'll see that cloud begin to thicken up

:03:49. > :03:51.from the west as we move through the night tonight.

:03:52. > :03:54.Most of us seeing a dry night, with just the chance of one

:03:55. > :03:57.Overnight lows between five and seven Celsius.

:03:58. > :03:59.Slightly cooler, though, if you are out in the countryside.

:04:00. > :04:02.And then into tomorrow we see the arrival of that waving front,

:04:03. > :04:04.bringing outbreaks of rain through much of the day,

:04:05. > :04:07.and that will be quite heavy at points as we move

:04:08. > :04:09.The exact timing is slightly uncertain,

:04:10. > :04:13.with a maximum of 12 Celsius and a north-westerly breeze.

:04:14. > :04:16.Into Easter Monday, then, and it's a return to something

:04:17. > :04:19.Some sunny spells and still the risk of seeing one

:04:20. > :04:23.That's how the rest of your Easter weekend is looking.

:04:24. > :04:27.It will be fairly chilly and there will be some outbreaks of rain,

:04:28. > :04:30.but some drier weather again by the time we get to Monday.

:04:31. > :04:34.which is live already on your local BBC radio station:

:04:35. > :04:36.There's new boy band "Yes Lad" - they're in session.

:04:37. > :04:37.Plus, Derby soul singer Lauren Faith,

:04:38. > :04:39.and Derby's Kezia Gill explains how she's taking

:04:40. > :04:45.And Leicester rock band Super73 are launching their new single.

:04:46. > :04:49.So a packed Easter show, on until 10pm.

:04:50. > :04:52.More from me and the team here tomorrow at 6.50pm.

:04:53. > :05:12.Until then, enjoy your Easter Saturday.

:05:13. > :05:18.Good evening. These and but not spectacular is probably a neat way

:05:19. > :05:22.to describe the weather this Easter weekend. -- decent but not

:05:23. > :05:27.spectacular. A bit of sunshine, patchy cloud and showers today, but

:05:28. > :05:31.as we can see from the satellite and radar, the showers are easing, cloud

:05:32. > :05:36.melting away, so a decent evening if you are heading out. Once it gets

:05:37. > :05:38.dark, it will be chilly, cold enough for a touch of
