02/01/2017 Look East

Good evening. for the news where you are.

The annual rail fare increase has taken effect today.

Nationally, fares will increase by 2.3%.

The increase in the East is slightly lower at 1.8%,

But it means some season ticket holders will be paying

Many rail users say they're disappointed by the increase,

but operators say the money raised will be used to improve services.

Here at Cambridge station it was the day before many returned to work,

but usually this is one of the busiest commuter routes into London.

Today it was announced that Greater Anglia and great Northern, the two

main rail operators in our region are increasing fares by 1.8%. Below

the national increase, but passengers I spoke to are

unimpressed. It is pretty bad, services this year have been

terrible. I am not surprised. That is what it is. They should go down

again. Because it costs me nearly ?9 per day to get to work and that is

what I get our. Next week I'm going to Poland by error, return fare,

less than ?20. Compare that to my going into these time to London with

my partner, ?71 return. Somethings not right. Rail operators stress is

right is that fares have -- are influenced by government policy.

Rail delivery groups that represent real operators and Network Rail say

they know that in some places passengers haven't always got the

service that they paid for, and that this much, 97p, to every pound that

passengers pay, goes back into running and improving services.

Great Northern added it is bringing in more drivers to reduce

cancellations and more new trains on the route. The announcement of

today's fare increase, a New Year message and many could have done

without. Plans to build ten thousand homes

on the Essex-Hertfordshire border as part of the Government's

garden towns programme Ministers confirmed today

that they will support the development on green belt land

at Harlow and Gilston. It is one of three projects

nationally which will receive ?1.4 million in funding

to help make them happen. Smaller garden villages are proposed

in Deenethorpe near Corby and Dunton Hills near

Brentwood in Essex. A young woman will have her

dream wedding thanks Amy Smith from Norfolk was diagnosed

with lung cancer over Christmas. Her long term partner Gareth,

proposed on Christmas Day. Since then family and friends

have been fundraising It has been a bit a rush so we could

set off the Gulf on the page to see we could get some money towards the

wedding and it has just been so overwhelming, Gareth and Amy can

believe the response we have had. We set a target that we thought was

unrealistic, and we have topped that and smashed it within three days.

were in action this afternoon. Norwich City manager

Alex Neil has been under pressure following a string

of disappointing results. But his team secured

a much needed win, Beating promotion rivals

Derby County 3-nil at Carrow Road. It is January at Carrow Road, there

is a sale on at the club shop, the fans are wearing woolly hat in the

winter weather and the manager badly needs a win. But just two victories

in the last 12 league games the Norwich fans are getting restless.

Can you survive another defeat? That depends on the ambitions the

clubhouse. If we don't win today I think you will have to think about

going. I would like to see him stay, I would like to see him prove that

he is a good manager, but I fear that the odds are increasingly

stacked against them. As it turns out the city fans did not need to

worry, the midfielder was on form and the hat-trick secured Norwich

and the manager a much needed win. Norwich struggled in the opening

period before Nelson Oliveira scored in the 15th minute and from then on

Norwich dominated. They hit the post that Oliveira had the bar, in the

second half of a happy man off before all of the went on to keep --

complete his hat-trick. He was brilliant. He opened up the middle

and give us options. The created a lot of chances. Oliveira was

brilliant as well with his hat-trick. Very pleased. Norwich

will opt to ninth in the championship, and the pressure on

Alex Neill eases for now. Elsewhere in the Championship,

Ipswich slipped down the table Northampton lost at home

to Bradford, while the other League One teams in

our region all drew. League Two Cambridge beat

struggling Notts County 4-nil, and Colchester took their winning

run to four games with a 2-nil win The news was quite miserable much

more sunshine on the 2nd of January and all of the blue indicate we will

have a sharp frost tonight, frost for many of us and that means a lot

of white with temperatures low and these values in many spots down 2-3

minus four. Probably some icy patches with surface water as well.

With light winds that is freezing patches, too. Tomorrow I pressure in

charge keeping us try but we have a speech working its way down the

North Sea. A cold and frosty rights activity is where the front which is

down from the North introduces more in the way of closely cloudy data

tomorrow and hopefully the brightness coming through at times.

Temperatures are expected to get higher tomorrow, even though that is

expected to be more cloud around. Around 6 degrees, with the wind

picking up to a light to moderate westerly for many others. We

finished the day largely fine and dry but again I think a lot of cloud

around to finish the day tomorrow. As we head into Wednesday, this

front is expected to pull away to the south, taking green with it.

Behind it much better conditions, drier conditions so probably rain in

Southern counties to start Wednesday but then buying a fine everywhere

with spells of sunshine at the very cold night expected on Wednesday, -6

in many spots so a weight that frost and pasted together, two, that means

a frosty icy sparked -- start to Thursday. On Friday probably a dry

start with some brightness and sunshine, cloud increasing in the

West and eventually some rain pushing in.

Thank you. That is from us, we are back at 10:20pm after the ten

o'clock News. Goodbye. Good evening. It has been turning

colder and clearer and our weather watchers have been capturing the

sunshine. Here is the scene in Derbyshire and where we have had the

clear skies by day, we are in for a cold night tonight. Temperatures

already plummeting, particularly towards the south with some icy

stretches across parts of central and southern England, and into

Wales. For the north-west, not as cold, as we have the cloud building.
