Major engineering work on the rail line between Norwich | :00:20. | :00:22. | |
It means anyone travelling on Abellio Greater Anglia services | :00:23. | :00:26. | |
to the capital will need to use replacement buses | :00:27. | :00:28. | |
for part of their journey. The work lasts until the New Year. | :00:29. | :00:31. | |
For many people across the region, enjoying | :00:32. | :00:33. | |
the end-of-year festivities is just a train ride away. | :00:34. | :00:35. | |
But for passengers heading to London from | :00:36. | :00:37. | |
Norfolk, Suffolk and Essex, a warning that journeys will involve | :00:38. | :00:40. | |
Closures on the London Liverpool Street line will allow engineers | :00:41. | :00:43. | |
Overhead power lines will also be replaced. | :00:44. | :00:52. | |
In the summer, you may recall, there were | :00:53. | :00:54. | |
some problems with the overhead lines. | :00:55. | :00:56. | |
We had to have reduced speeds in the summer, | :00:57. | :00:58. | |
because the overhead lines were sagging. | :00:59. | :01:00. | |
So, they are putting in brand-new overhead lines. | :01:01. | :01:02. | |
So, hopefully, in the summer, the trains will be | :01:03. | :01:04. | |
According to Greater Anglia, passenger numbers drop by 40% | :01:05. | :01:10. | |
Nevertheless, it is not taking any chances, laying on 1,000 coaches, | :01:11. | :01:15. | |
to transport passengers to their final destinations. | :01:16. | :01:21. | |
It has not been too bad, but I live up in | :01:22. | :01:24. | |
London, and come back because my parents live here. | :01:25. | :01:26. | |
So, I travel every weekend back to London. | :01:27. | :01:29. | |
So, this is continuous. Every week. | :01:30. | :01:31. | |
Then, a couple of months and then they are | :01:32. | :01:35. | |
doing it all again. So, it is a bit annoying. | :01:36. | :01:39. | |
It has been OK coming from Colchester here. | :01:40. | :01:42. | |
We got on a bus. It was comfortable enough. | :01:43. | :01:44. | |
Yeah, as far as I am concerned, we did prepare for it. | :01:45. | :01:50. | |
Buses will also replace trains between Ely and Cambridge over | :01:51. | :01:52. | |
But with fewer people travelling, the region's | :01:53. | :01:55. | |
rail lines lines are likely to remain quiet. | :01:56. | :02:02. | |
A fire which killed a woman and her youngest daughter | :02:03. | :02:04. | |
Alina Kordaszewski and 11-year-old Emila died | :02:05. | :02:07. | |
in the blaze at their home in Braintree on Wednesday. | :02:08. | :02:09. | |
The fire service concluded its investigation | :02:10. | :02:11. | |
today and found the fire started in the lounge. | :02:12. | :02:13. | |
Rafal Kordaszewski paid tribute to his wife and daughter, | :02:14. | :02:15. | |
saying he had been overwhelmed by the public's generosity. | :02:16. | :02:17. | |
More than ?20,000 has so far been raised for the family. | :02:18. | :02:29. | |
A medieval hall is set to become England's national writing centre. | :02:30. | :02:33. | |
Dragon Hall in Norwich has been awarded ?800,000, to provide | :02:34. | :02:36. | |
opportunities for people to get involved in creative writing. | :02:37. | :02:38. | |
The funding from Arts Council England | :02:39. | :02:39. | |
will allow the new centre to open in 2018. | :02:40. | :02:47. | |
Volunteers from across our region will be preparing Christmas lunch | :02:48. | :02:49. | |
for those who would otherwise spend tomorrow alone. | :02:50. | :02:51. | |
In Bury St Edmunds, one charity is cooking a three-course meal | :02:52. | :02:54. | |
Here at Gatehouse, they are busy preparing for their annual annual | :02:55. | :03:07. | |
Around 120 people who would otherwise be alone over | :03:08. | :03:12. | |
the holidays have been invited to a three-course Christmas meal. | :03:13. | :03:14. | |
We have about 17 kilos of Brussels sprouts to get peeled. | :03:15. | :03:17. | |
And the same in parsnips and carrots. | :03:18. | :03:21. | |
We are lucky that the turkey is donated by a local catering company, | :03:22. | :03:26. | |
so that already comes sliced and cooked for us. | :03:27. | :03:28. | |
The people that attend the lunch are a real mix of people. | :03:29. | :03:31. | |
Some of them are just people who live on their own. | :03:32. | :03:34. | |
Younger people who find themselves in a situation | :03:35. | :03:36. | |
where they are removed from their family, | :03:37. | :03:38. | |
so they come along to the Christmas lunch. | :03:39. | :03:40. | |
And sofa surfing and homeless people. | :03:41. | :03:45. | |
This is a real community affair, where local businesses | :03:46. | :03:47. | |
organisations and households have donated the food and are helping to | :03:48. | :03:50. | |
deliver Christmas hampers across Bury St Edmunds | :03:51. | :03:51. | |
The charity was set up 30 years ago and say it is | :03:52. | :03:59. | |
important, especially at this time of year, to hold this event, | :04:00. | :04:02. | |
so the community can come together on Christmas Day. | :04:03. | :04:10. | |
Now, here is Georgina Burnett, with the weather. | :04:11. | :04:21. | |
Good evening. The flying conditions for Father Christmas may not be so | :04:22. | :04:35. | |
bad to make. It is a largely cloudy a fear tomorrow. But mainly dry, | :04:36. | :04:41. | |
with the odd patch of drizzle. High temperatures of 1314 Celsius. | :04:42. | :04:47. | |
Overlay, some rain clearing in time to as a dry but called Boxing Day. A | :04:48. | :04:56. | |
filament of sunshine as the a patient takes more control. | :04:57. | :05:00. | |
That is all from us, but if you visit the Look East Facebook page, | :05:01. | :05:03. | |
we have prepared a special Christmas greeting. | :05:04. | :05:13. | |
Hello. Nice and toasty both inside and out. It even struggling to snow | :05:14. | :05:20. | |
across the Scottish hills, it's so mild outside, whether you like it or | :05:21. | :05:25. | |
not. It's all thanks to this storm, big windstorm in the North Atlantic. | :05:26. | :05:30. | |
It is drawing up warm air from the southern climes. You can see the | :05:31. | :05:35. | |
Azores, warm air moving in our direction. It's here to stay. Just | :05:36. | :05:40. | |
in time for Christmas. Cloudy with bits of rain in the centre pushing | :05:41. | :05:44. | |
through across parts of Scotland, western part of the UK. It could be | :05:45. | :05:49. | |
quite heavy, that rain, for a time. The real story | :05:50. | :05:51. |
