:00:00. > :00:00.Hello and welcome to Look E`st. In the programme tonight: Train

:00:07. > :00:08.operator Abelio defends spending money to upgrade trains aftdr some

:00:09. > :00:20.describe the improvements as "cosmetic".

:00:21. > :00:22.We have been improving the trains and punctuality, redeveloping

:00:23. > :00:26.stations and the next two ydars will be all about the same.

:00:27. > :00:32.It cost ?4m and expects to `ttract 100,000 visitors a year.

:00:33. > :00:34.A striking sight in our countryside. The mild weather brings forward a

:00:35. > :00:45.bumper harvest. And Hatter's fans celebrate their

:00:46. > :00:49.return to the football leagte. Hello.

:00:50. > :00:51.Passengers travelling betwedn Norwich and London will soon see

:00:52. > :00:54.improved trains the operating company announced today. Abdllio is

:00:55. > :00:58.investing more than ?20 million over the next two years of its franchise,

:00:59. > :01:00.but some industry analysts say making cosmetic improvements like

:01:01. > :01:12.new carpets and upgrading toilets isn't going far enough. In ` moment

:01:13. > :01:15.we will speak to the man at the top of the company. Our Chief Rdporter

:01:16. > :01:22.Kim Riley is outside Ipswich railway station for us now.

:01:23. > :01:25.Abellio, which run greater @nglia services, say that the annotncements

:01:26. > :01:30.simply follow a stream of improvements that begun when they

:01:31. > :01:36.took over the franchise two years ago.

:01:37. > :01:41.A new franchise agreement covering the next two years includes a

:01:42. > :01:45.doubling of off`peak trains between Stansted airport and Cambridge and

:01:46. > :01:51.improves services on some local links. Commuters into London from

:01:52. > :01:56.Norfolk, Suffolk and Essex will begin to travel in more stale from

:01:57. > :01:59.early next year. These marks the carriages are more

:02:00. > :02:05.than 30 years old and came to East Anglia from the West Coast Lain

:02:06. > :02:11.line. Some 120 carriages ard to be upgraded with new seat covers,

:02:12. > :02:17.carpets, lighting, improved toilets and at seat power sockets. They

:02:18. > :02:23.could do more. They are the worst train company in the countrx, aren't

:02:24. > :02:29.they? The are very good. Yot can't help some delays but better trained

:02:30. > :02:33.and facilities are always good. It is great. Any improvement h`s got to

:02:34. > :02:39.be better. Make the journey more comfortable. Any update and

:02:40. > :02:45.modernisation will be good. Sounds like a good idea. It is abott time.

:02:46. > :02:51.?2.7 billion of funding was announced they to provide a new

:02:52. > :02:54.fleet of high`speed trains on the East Coast Main line through

:02:55. > :03:00.Peterborough. It begs the qtestion, are real travellers in East Anglia

:03:01. > :03:04.the relations? The problem with the shorter franchises is that there

:03:05. > :03:10.clearly will not be any significant investments, the very fact that they

:03:11. > :03:14.are announcing they are putting new seat covers suggests there hs no

:03:15. > :03:20.substantial spending on this. MPs who have been campaigning for a more

:03:21. > :03:23.reliable real service have welcomed this announcement. These

:03:24. > :03:28.announcements will, and quickly add or what passengers and businesses

:03:29. > :03:32.need to know that they can hnvest in this region. This will bring jobs to

:03:33. > :03:38.our area. East Anglia has stffered historic underinvestment and this is

:03:39. > :03:43.the beginning of putting th`t right. For now, Norwich to London hn 9

:03:44. > :03:48.minutes at Ipswich in 60 relains a long`term aspiration.

:03:49. > :03:53.This franchise runs until October 2016, and only after that the longer

:03:54. > :04:02.franchise will be awarded and only then can we expect a better, bolder

:04:03. > :04:07.investment plan. Earlier thhs afternoon I went to speak to the new

:04:08. > :04:11.managing director of Abellio. He was keen to tell me about the

:04:12. > :04:16.improvements. Will this mean more seats at busy times? We will create

:04:17. > :04:21.extra seats as part of the refurbishment, converting some

:04:22. > :04:26.first`class seats into standard class seats. At peak times we will

:04:27. > :04:29.have more standard class se`ts. The refurbishment will be a big visual

:04:30. > :04:35.improvement, a comfort improvement to the environment and we nded to

:04:36. > :04:41.maintain these are rolling stock as best we can add to deliver the best

:04:42. > :04:46.possible punctuality for customers. Comfortable seats make no dhfference

:04:47. > :04:53.if I am standing. There will be less standing. But there will sthll be

:04:54. > :04:58.standing. I hope we can redtce that, putting the right strains on the red

:04:59. > :05:01.routes at the right times. Hf someone stands all the way to London

:05:02. > :05:06.and they are buying a season ticket and commuting caddie for new ANSI, I

:05:07. > :05:14.had to stand on your train this morning? They absolutely can. We

:05:15. > :05:18.will listen to them and we lust look forward to the next longer

:05:19. > :05:23.franchise. Then we will be lobbying to get more trains, more capacity,

:05:24. > :05:26.even more investment so we can continue to underpin the economic

:05:27. > :05:33.growth of this important part of the country. You only have two xears

:05:34. > :05:38.left on your franchise. So xou can't make long`term investment, can you?

:05:39. > :05:43.The really long`term investlent comes in the next franchise, but

:05:44. > :05:47.could be up to ten years' thme, from October 2016 for ten years. We only

:05:48. > :05:52.have two years now but that is why we are putting our money whdre our

:05:53. > :05:57.mouth is, there is ?20 millhon worth of improvements there. We whll do

:05:58. > :06:02.everything we can to run thdse trains on time and give the

:06:03. > :06:06.customers the best possible service. Critics will say this is just

:06:07. > :06:12.tinkering. We have not been tinkering since the 2012, wd have

:06:13. > :06:15.been improving trends, punctuality, redeveloping stations and the next

:06:16. > :06:20.two years will be all about the same. Clean trains, trains on time

:06:21. > :06:24.and giving the best possibld service to customers. Our pursuit of

:06:25. > :06:29.excellence will be relentless over the next few years. And if xou don't

:06:30. > :06:34.get the franchise in two ye`rs, this is money wasted on someone dlse will

:06:35. > :06:40.have to go through the same again. That is not a risk we want to take,

:06:41. > :06:44.so we must pursue the best possible strategy in terms of delivering for

:06:45. > :06:48.our customers, we will do that, we will deliver and that puts ts in the

:06:49. > :06:52.very best position to be whdn the very best position to be windy

:06:53. > :06:55.transcribed `` to win again the franchise. That is all we c`n do.

:06:56. > :06:58.Thank you very much. There was good news on the dconomy

:06:59. > :07:01.today. Employment in the East reached a record high after another

:07:02. > :07:05.fall in unemployment. And there has been an announcement about ` new

:07:06. > :07:08.factory in Essex, which will be able to turn landfill waste into jet

:07:09. > :07:11.fuel. Our business correspondent Richard Bond is here. So thdse jobs

:07:12. > :07:14.figures, does that mean the recovery is getting stronger? And thhs

:07:15. > :07:22.factory in Essex sounds likd good news on all sorts of levels. It is

:07:23. > :07:24.more evidence of that and the government has been keen to trumpet

:07:25. > :07:30.this line that employment h`s reached a record high. Let's look at

:07:31. > :07:35.the numbers. A couple of ye`rs ago employment in this region w`s at 2.8

:07:36. > :07:41.million people, then last ydar it went up to 2.9 million and so far

:07:42. > :07:45.this year it has gone up ag`in a little bit too well within ` whisker

:07:46. > :07:48.of 3 million. That is good news but we must remember that the population

:07:49. > :07:53.of the region is rising of the time so we needn't plunge to risd just to

:07:54. > :08:01.keep pace with the population. `` so we need employment to rise.

:08:02. > :08:06.Unemployment is currently following. The latest figures for unemployment

:08:07. > :08:12.is 171,000, which is a fall of 001 previous quarter. Our unemployment

:08:13. > :08:17.rate at 5.4% is still comfortable above the national average. This

:08:18. > :08:23.factory in Essex and sounds like good news on all sorts of ldvels.

:08:24. > :08:28.Yes, it will be the world 's first facility to convert landfill waste

:08:29. > :08:32.on jet fuel and it will be built in the ruck. This is on the Th`mes

:08:33. > :08:37.enterprise Park. This will turn waste normally destined for landfill

:08:38. > :08:43.into jet fuel for British Ahrways, which clearly is a very high`tech

:08:44. > :08:47.process and very clean but ht will mean 1000 new jobs down there during

:08:48. > :08:52.the construction of this facility and then to 150 when it is finally

:08:53. > :08:55.completed, which is good news in Coryton because a couple of years

:08:56. > :08:59.ago they lost their oil refhnery. Andy Murray and Martina Navratilova

:09:00. > :09:02.are among a host of stars who will be taking part in a charity event in

:09:03. > :09:05.aid of the Ipswich tennis player Elena Baltacha, who was recdntly

:09:06. > :09:09.diagnosed with liver cancer. It s been dubbed the Rally for B`lly and

:09:10. > :09:11.will be played on June 15th at Queens Club Birmingham and

:09:12. > :09:14.Eastbourne. The proceeds will be split between the Royal Marsden

:09:15. > :09:22.Cancer Charity and the Elen` Baltacha Academy of Tennis.

:09:23. > :09:25.The six people who will carry the Queen's Baton through Suffolk in the

:09:26. > :09:29.build up to the Commonwealth Games have been named. They include the

:09:30. > :09:32.boxer Anthony Ogogo, who won a bronze medal in 2012, handb`ll

:09:33. > :09:34.player Louise Jukes and England Under 19 cricketer Elizabeth

:09:35. > :09:39.Reynolds. The relay will arrive in Suffolk on June ninth.

:09:40. > :09:43.Colchester Castle has been tsed as a royal residence and a jail `nd since

:09:44. > :09:46.Victorian times it's been home to the town's main museum. But the

:09:47. > :09:50.building's been closed for just over a year for a huge make over costing

:09:51. > :10:00.more than ?4 million. It reopens in two weeks.

:10:01. > :10:05.Colchester Castle. It is very walls tell our story. The Romans dedicated

:10:06. > :10:13.the Temple to the Emperor Claudius. But it. William the Conqueror built

:10:14. > :10:18.the castle from the Temple storms. There has been a ?4.2 million make

:10:19. > :10:23.over, the manager described what transformed the castle inside.

:10:24. > :10:27.Sightlines across the buildhng, so you look across a diagonals, then

:10:28. > :10:31.the length of the wall you can see an enormous structure and the

:10:32. > :10:37.individual objects picked ott by the lighting. Look at this, one of the

:10:38. > :10:42.treasures on display, the Colchester violence. It is the most falous pot

:10:43. > :10:48.from Roman Britain, it was found in a grave and was decorated whth

:10:49. > :10:51.scenes of gladiators. The work takes 15 months and well it went on the

:10:52. > :10:55.inside of the castle have to be completely cleared. Many artefacts

:10:56. > :11:01.on display are of national importance. This tombstone hs the

:11:02. > :11:05.earliest and best preserved representation of a Robinson should

:11:06. > :11:11.even from anywhere in the Wdstern Roman Empire. It is absolutdly

:11:12. > :11:18.stunning. And it appears frdquently in textbooks about the Roman army or

:11:19. > :11:22.about the Roman invasion of Britain. Colchester Castle is one of the most

:11:23. > :11:26.important places in British history. In the building behind us wd can

:11:27. > :11:34.demonstrate easterly of Britain over the last 2500 years. The castle

:11:35. > :11:38.opens to the public again on May two, it is hoped it will attract

:11:39. > :11:49.100,000 visitors per year. `` the 2nd of May.

:11:50. > :11:54.Still to come, Luton town celebrating a return to the football

:11:55. > :12:01.league after five years in dxile. And the harvest comes three weeks

:12:02. > :12:04.early thanks to the milder weather. It's thought there are six lillion

:12:05. > :12:07.military veterans in the cotntry, and many face big problems when they

:12:08. > :12:11.leave the Forces. Some are hnjured, some have mental health isstes and

:12:12. > :12:14.it can have a huge impact on their families. Today in Essex,

:12:15. > :12:17.researchers from around the country came together for the launch of the

:12:18. > :12:20.Veterans and Families Institute at Anglia Ruskin University. And they

:12:21. > :12:27.hope to be able to influencd the policy of the Government.

:12:28. > :12:32.Said Watson from Colchester is by her own admission a shadow of her

:12:33. > :12:35.former self. She was medically discharged from the Royal Logistics

:12:36. > :12:38.Corps in 2012 after a hip replacement and if the stunning

:12:39. > :12:43.accident which left her with a broken neck. She has been a

:12:44. > :12:48.body`building champion and ` fitness instructor, now she uses crttches

:12:49. > :12:53.and a wheelchair and is in constant pain. She has been diagnosed with

:12:54. > :12:58.post`traumatic stress disorder after losing her health and her c`reer. It

:12:59. > :13:03.is still very scary and the fact that you have been so upset in the

:13:04. > :13:07.army and then you are injurdd and you can even run, you can express

:13:08. > :13:16.yourself, your children are dressing and things like that, I felt

:13:17. > :13:20.absolutely useless. Just like a spare part. In Chelmsford the lodge

:13:21. > :13:26.of the veterans and families Institute. It is a UK first, all of

:13:27. > :13:32.the major research into the problems faced by veterans and their families

:13:33. > :13:34.brought together in one place. We will be happy if we carry ott

:13:35. > :13:39.meaningful research which h`s an impact. We will be particul`rly

:13:40. > :13:44.happy if that we search for other papers we write makes a difference

:13:45. > :13:48.to national policy and we whll be most happy if what we do makes a

:13:49. > :13:54.real difference to the lives of veterans and their families. The

:13:55. > :13:58.conflict in Iraq and Afghanhstan have the veterans issues into the

:13:59. > :14:01.spotlight. Soldiers have cole back with terrible injuries and

:14:02. > :14:07.psychological trauma. Putting a huge strain on their families. Kdvin

:14:08. > :14:11.Spruce served in Germany, Northern Ireland and the Falklands. When he

:14:12. > :14:15.left the Army in marriage break`up followed but he still sees

:14:16. > :14:19.themselves as a soldier. Whdn I came out there was an expectation of

:14:20. > :14:24.assimilation which means I lust forget my past and learn thhs new

:14:25. > :14:29.future. That is not going to happen. I came out in 88 and my

:14:30. > :14:34.self`identity still isn't soldier. It is not civilian. The vetdrans and

:14:35. > :14:38.families Institute wants to make a difference, or veterans now and in

:14:39. > :14:46.the future. That work starts in earnest today. Lady Dannatt is the

:14:47. > :14:50.wife of the former head of the British Army and has had first`hand

:14:51. > :14:55.experience of how Army life can affect families. She is also the

:14:56. > :14:58.high Sheriff of Norfolk and has chosen mental health awarendss as

:14:59. > :15:04.her focus. She came to the studio and told me that military pdrsonnel

:15:05. > :15:06.have problems that we `` re`ch life in the front line Those in combat

:15:07. > :15:10.zones often have particular difficulties, because of wh`t they

:15:11. > :15:14.have seen on the battlefield, in the theatre of war. Truly terrible

:15:15. > :15:21.things, they do see. But yot are absolutely right. The milit`rily,

:15:22. > :15:25.the regiment provides a famhly for our young people, some of them are

:15:26. > :15:29.only 17 and a half or 18 whdn they come to us. They have come from

:15:30. > :15:31.perhaps very rough or virtu`lly nonexistent homes themselves. The

:15:32. > :15:35.regiment becomes their home, it is their home, their family for the

:15:36. > :15:43.next 22 years and suddenly ht is taken away. That is very, vdry hard.

:15:44. > :15:47.Why doesn't the military do more about it? I think the milit`ry are

:15:48. > :15:52.waking up and trying to do lore about it. It takes so long for

:15:53. > :15:56.somebody with a mental health problem to actually get help. There

:15:57. > :15:59.is a quote that says if I broke my leg I would see a doctor

:16:00. > :16:03.straightaway, if I have a mdntal health problem it can take the four

:16:04. > :16:10.or five months. Four or fivd months. This is an absolute tragedy. I heard

:16:11. > :16:13.very recently of a young man, a local young man who put his hand up

:16:14. > :16:17.and had the courage with his mother to see get help from a GP. The GP

:16:18. > :16:20.did everything she could, prescribed medication, made a raft of

:16:21. > :16:23.appointments, but unfortunately he took his life before the first

:16:24. > :16:28.appointment was reached bec`use the interval of time was so gre`t. So we

:16:29. > :16:32.as a society have a role to play in this. You as High Sherrif whll be

:16:33. > :16:36.trying to play a role, but what can we do? I think we can talk `bout it

:16:37. > :16:40.a lot more, there is still, even today, there is a huge stigla,

:16:41. > :16:44.discrimination about mental illness. I would like people to talk about

:16:45. > :16:48.mental illness just in the same way the top about a migraine attack or a

:16:49. > :16:51.broken limb. There will be somebody watching this tonight who bdlieves

:16:52. > :17:01.that maybe they do have the mental health problem. And are afr`id to go

:17:02. > :17:05.and ask somebody for help. What would you say to them? I wotld say I

:17:06. > :17:08.absolutely understand where they are coming from, I had postnatal

:17:09. > :17:15.depression after two of my four babies, it was very hard. A, to

:17:16. > :17:20.recognise it and B, to actu`lly summon the courage to put one's hand

:17:21. > :17:24.up and ask for help. Help is out there, though and it is really not

:17:25. > :17:27.difficult. GPs, CPMs, they `re very attuned and very sympathetic and

:17:28. > :17:31.although that was minimal compared to what a lot of people go through,

:17:32. > :17:35.it was enough to make me re`lise that I never, ever wanted to go

:17:36. > :17:45.there again. Lady Dannatt, thank you very much. That's quite all right.

:17:46. > :17:49.There are 170,000 hectares of oilseed rape in this region, that's

:17:50. > :17:52.an area bigger than Bedfordshire. It mean nearly a quarter of all the

:17:53. > :17:56.oilseed rape grown in England is grown here. This year the crop has

:17:57. > :17:59.flowered early and the harvdst is expected to be very good. And of

:18:00. > :18:06.course that's because of thd weather. The details from Kdvin

:18:07. > :18:10.Burch. They are like fields of gold, given

:18:11. > :18:13.even greater radiance on a day like today. From the air you start to

:18:14. > :18:19.appreciate the true scale of easy yellow swathes. Ten years ago, Sam

:18:20. > :18:25.Fares from Suffolk became the first farmer in the UK to market rapeseed

:18:26. > :18:29.oil. Now it is a thriving btsiness. A lot of people thought we were mad

:18:30. > :18:32.but as a family we could not understand why it was that dveryone

:18:33. > :18:36.was telling us use cold`pressed extra virgin olive oil and the

:18:37. > :18:39.Mediterranean diet and all of this sort of thing. Why is nobodx cold

:18:40. > :18:43.pressing rapeseed? There was just that question. In the ten ydars

:18:44. > :18:46.since this enterprise startdd here in Suffolk, the amount of ohl seed

:18:47. > :18:50.rape being grown across the east of the region has gone up by 90%. And

:18:51. > :18:54.if you look at production across England as a whole, well ovdr a

:18:55. > :18:58.quarter of it comes from thhs part of the world. It is easy to see why

:18:59. > :19:01.farmers have been thinking "kerching", because the cooking oil

:19:02. > :19:06.market today is worth an estimated ?326 million. The power of the sun

:19:07. > :19:12.is critical for the crop and critical for production. Thdse solar

:19:13. > :19:15.panels power the machinery. The rapeseed which is 46% or oil is

:19:16. > :19:20.squeezed with whatever left over used for animal feed. The ohl is

:19:21. > :19:27.pumped through 36 filters and then away to be bottled. Each ye`r they

:19:28. > :19:31.produce around 300,000 litrds. It is a healthy oil, it is low in

:19:32. > :19:33.saturated fat and this is the way the government are pushing

:19:34. > :19:37.manufacturers to bring down the saturated fats in food, to bring

:19:38. > :19:41.down the salt and sugar. We are part of that and manufacturers are now

:19:42. > :19:46.coming to us and saying, "Wd need your oil." Look at this, Suffolk,

:19:47. > :19:50.perfect, sunny Suffolk, perfect day. All crops like this. Everyone smiles

:19:51. > :19:56.when the sun comes out. Even farmers smile. Until we want some r`in!

:19:57. > :19:59.There is no denying the risd in rapeseed has been rapid and that

:20:00. > :20:08.growth shows no sign of slowing Kevin Birch, BBC Look East.

:20:09. > :20:11.Luton Town have secured prolotion back to the Football League. The

:20:12. > :20:13.Hatters were confirmed as Conference champions last night after

:20:14. > :20:20.second`placed Cambridge lost 2`nil at Kidderminster. In a moment we

:20:21. > :20:23.take a look at a troubling five years at the club. But first Neil

:20:24. > :20:30.Bradford has spent the day with Hatters fans. In the mood at

:20:31. > :20:34.Kenilworth Road could not h`ve been happier. These fans came to support

:20:35. > :20:40.the reserve team and revel hn the glory of promotion. I have been

:20:41. > :20:45.supporting Luton since I was that high and this absolutely brhlliant.

:20:46. > :20:53.We are so proud of our team and the fans deserve it. Happy? Verx happy.

:20:54. > :20:58.Nigel Martyn known to most `s Santa first came here on his eighth

:20:59. > :21:02.birthday. Being back in the beak is the best thing that has happened to

:21:03. > :21:09.this club in five years. It is what we deserve. It is awesome.

:21:10. > :21:13.Fantastic. In the supporters shocked this consignment of Luton town

:21:14. > :21:17.onesies could not have arrived at a better time. Fans queued up to bike

:21:18. > :21:22.club merchandise, keen to rdmain every one of the team's success I

:21:23. > :21:29.have nothing left to sell for that game. A busy time in the ticket

:21:30. > :21:33.office. The games are sell`outs I have been interested in the games

:21:34. > :21:36.this season so I decided I would get a ticket but obviously the

:21:37. > :21:43.excitement of last night/me down here. The chief executive s`ys he

:21:44. > :21:47.cannot thank fans enough. They have stuck by others and that has been

:21:48. > :21:55.very special to us. To all of us really, here, we have a big thanks

:21:56. > :22:00.and we are very proud of thdm. The chairman, for heaven, promotion was

:22:01. > :22:04.something to savour. I was monitoring the scores of evdning, I

:22:05. > :22:08.went bonkers, leapt up and shouted and poured another glass of wine.

:22:09. > :22:13.There has not been a offici`l confirmation from the club but we

:22:14. > :22:18.understand that a civic recdption and parade is planned for Stnday the

:22:19. > :22:23.4th of May. Another chance to celebrate for fans, young and old.

:22:24. > :22:27.The troubles at Luton reallx came to a head nearly six years ago when the

:22:28. > :22:30.Football League said the cltb would start the new season on mints 3

:22:31. > :22:33.points. Nobody was surprised when they dropped out of the Football

:22:34. > :22:38.League. Our Sports Editor Jonathan Park reports on the clubs troubled

:22:39. > :22:42.past. They have seen it all. David Pleat's

:22:43. > :22:45.jig, Brian Stein's Wembley winner and the dark times, the FA's brutal

:22:46. > :22:48.punishment. Banished to a non`league, the club has bedn on a

:22:49. > :22:52.journey no other football club has ever experienced. I have sedn a lot

:22:53. > :22:58.of hurt from Luton fans in the past five, six, seven years. Chalpionship

:22:59. > :23:01.club all the way down to thhs division and then a real struggle

:23:02. > :23:05.through different managers to get back to this point. I think in John

:23:06. > :23:10.Still they found somebody who understands Luton and has rdshaped

:23:11. > :23:14.Luton in many ways. He has lade it a new Luton. Three other managers have

:23:15. > :23:18.tried and failed to get Luton over the finishing line, but John Still

:23:19. > :23:21.has united everyone, this is his third promotion from the conference,

:23:22. > :23:24.and up there with his greatdst achievements. The Dagenham thing

:23:25. > :23:30.would be close to me becausd I was a supporter. Like one of thesd lads

:23:31. > :23:34.supporting and managing Luton. But because it is now and because there

:23:35. > :23:38.are so many people here that believe it is their position in the league

:23:39. > :23:41.by right that was taken awax it is a special occasion. It is a dhfferent

:23:42. > :23:44.outlook from five years ago, severely punished by the football

:23:45. > :23:47.authorities, deducted 30 pohnts for financial infringements, Mick

:23:48. > :23:50.Harford faced an impossible task to escape relegation to the conference,

:23:51. > :23:58.ending 89 years as a football league club. So, the sleeping lower`league

:23:59. > :24:02.giant is woken. Luton crowds are bigger than most in the two leagues

:24:03. > :24:06.above, over 10,000 watched them try and lift the trophy at home on

:24:07. > :24:10.Saturday. Where next? Some believe a journey that could end at the very

:24:11. > :24:13.top. Once we are back in thd football league we have a great

:24:14. > :24:16.set`up here, the manager is really putting a team together and the

:24:17. > :24:20.squad together, most import`ntly, of players who are capable of playing

:24:21. > :24:24.at the high level. There ard plenty of other teams who have gond up and

:24:25. > :24:28.gone from nowhere to be in the top flight even, Luton can cert`inly aim

:24:29. > :24:31.to be back in the championship. If they do manage multiple prolotions

:24:32. > :24:35.it will speed up the club 's plans to build a new ground. Kenilworth

:24:36. > :24:39.Road is full of memories but for a club in a hurry to find its natural

:24:40. > :24:48.place in the football pyramhd, it will hold the club back. Jonathan

:24:49. > :24:53.Park, BBC Look East. Let's look at the weather.

:24:54. > :25:01.It was another cold me last night with a number of locations hf you

:25:02. > :25:06.degrees below freezing. Our coldest spot was at may but was the warmest

:25:07. > :25:11.spot today in the sunshine, temperatures of 17 degrees. You can

:25:12. > :25:15.see the extent of the fine weather, and this is down to the are` of high

:25:16. > :25:20.pressure stretching to the dastern part of the British Isles. Xou can

:25:21. > :25:26.see how much sunshine we recorded today. Tonight we will start fine

:25:27. > :25:30.with clear spells and there will be increasing amount of cloud later

:25:31. > :25:34.tonight. For most of us we should be free of frost with temperattres

:25:35. > :25:38.hovering around five or six degrees. If there are breaks in the cloud at

:25:39. > :25:42.that point these numbers cotld go that point these numbers cotld go

:25:43. > :25:47.lower so we should expect P`tty frost in places. Tomorrow whll be

:25:48. > :25:51.cloudy but we should get off to a great start and it certainlx looks

:25:52. > :25:55.like a great start as we have a weak weather front heading southwards. We

:25:56. > :26:00.should see early sunshine in this cloud starts to develop frol the

:26:01. > :26:04.Northwest, heading southwards, so counties like Essex made he`d on to

:26:05. > :26:08.some sunshine throughout thd day. It will warm up in the sunshind so we

:26:09. > :26:12.might record temperatures of around 17 degrees. There will be a

:26:13. > :26:17.noticeable breeze coming from the West. This cloud could be shck

:26:18. > :26:22.enough to produce a light r`in or drizzle in places, it will be mostly

:26:23. > :26:25.dry but the risk is there. The pressure pattern for Easter is

:26:26. > :26:31.looking mixed, because we do get off a fine start on Saturday but this

:26:32. > :26:34.the pressure pattern for thd East on Sunday. Low pressure moving into the

:26:35. > :26:37.British Isles and we will sde some wet weather but there is certainly

:26:38. > :26:43.some fine weather to be had before we get there. The next few days look

:26:44. > :26:47.OK, apart from the close tolorrow. That is a slight blip. This weather

:26:48. > :26:53.front will introduce much cooler air. It will feel cold on Friday and

:26:54. > :26:58.Saturday but certainly bright with long spells of sunshine. Be aware

:26:59. > :27:02.that Freddie and could bring the risk of frost as temperaturds fall

:27:03. > :27:08.under clear skies but the ldss said about Easter Sunday the better.

:27:09. > :27:12.All that sunshine and Easter Sunday it rains! See you tomorrow.
