Good evening and welcome to BBC Look North. The headlines tonight: The | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
£50 billion project for high speed trains — but will other parts of our | :00:08. | :00:17. | |
rail network lose out? There are huge swathes of the | :00:17. | :00:23. | |
country which will get pretty much no benefit whatsoever from this | :00:23. | :00:31. | |
scheme. The £12,000 theft of specialised kit | :00:31. | :00:41. | |
which which could put lives at risk. To be in a situation where we have | :00:41. | :00:46. | |
two say, can we go and for your relative it is heartbreaking. | :00:46. | :00:50. | |
Denied a possible Wembley appearance — the Lincolnshire club thrown out | :00:50. | :00:59. | |
of the FA Cup. The five September weather looks set to continue. Join | :00:59. | :01:06. | |
me later for the forecast. — — the fine September weather looks set to | :01:06. | :01:08. | |
continue. The human statue who's hoping to | :01:08. | :01:12. | |
strike gold in Europe. Good evening. | :01:12. | :01:15. | |
It could cost up to £50 billion but there are warnings that train | :01:15. | :01:17. | |
passengers in East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire will see their rail | :01:17. | :01:21. | |
services get worse if the new High Speed Train line gets the go ahead. | :01:21. | :01:24. | |
The Government says the planned link from London through the midlands and | :01:24. | :01:27. | |
onto Manchester and Leeds is essential for the British economy. | :01:27. | :01:30. | |
Campaigners here though say it will lead to a North—South divide. Sarah | :01:30. | :01:38. | |
Corker reports. Early morning commuters start their journey from | :01:38. | :01:40. | |
East Yorkshire, catching a direct train to the capital. I asked those | :01:40. | :01:44. | |
at Brough Station just what difference the much talked about | :01:44. | :01:47. | |
high speed rail link would make to them? Maybe I would drive over to | :01:47. | :01:56. | |
lead and get the train from there, but it is unlikely. We will get left | :01:56. | :02:02. | |
out at this end of the line, so to speak. | :02:02. | :02:09. | |
things up to date, but I am not sure whether it is money well spent. | :02:09. | :02:13. | |
Passengers from East Yorkshire use the East Coast main line to travel | :02:13. | :02:17. | |
to London. A purpose—built high—speed rail network would mean | :02:18. | :02:22. | |
people could connect with this fast online and carry on to the capital. | :02:22. | :02:26. | |
But we don't know if that would be any faster. The government believes | :02:26. | :02:35. | |
a new high—speed rail network would generate billions for the economy. | :02:35. | :02:41. | |
Critics worry there will be no money left to maintain existing networks | :02:41. | :02:45. | |
and areas like East Yorkshire not included in the plans will see a | :02:45. | :02:50. | |
worse service. There are huge swathes of the country, not least | :02:50. | :02:53. | |
Lincolnshire and East Yorkshire, which will get no benefit from this | :02:53. | :02:57. | |
scheme which is costing upwards of £50 billion. | :02:57. | :03:00. | |
But a boom in rail travel has pushed the case for high speed rail. When | :03:00. | :03:05. | |
you look at the growth we have seen in Railways of the last 15 years, | :03:05. | :03:13. | |
there is no alternative that will provide the capacity this country | :03:13. | :03:15. | |
needs in the future. Could that investment be at the | :03:15. | :03:18. | |
expense of the East Coast Main Line? Its 900 miles of track are due to be | :03:18. | :03:22. | |
upgraded — but it's already suffering from delays and | :03:22. | :03:29. | |
disruption. And critics of HS2 are queuing up. Earlier this week, Lord | :03:29. | :03:33. | |
Prescott gave us his view at Labour's party conference. It isn't | :03:33. | :03:41. | |
going to do any good for the North. They wouldn't build it in the North. | :03:41. | :03:44. | |
And so debate rumbles on — invest in the lines we have or build a brand | :03:44. | :03:47. | |
new network? But for now, these passengers seem happy with the | :03:48. | :03:52. | |
service they're already getting. I'm joined now by the Cleethorpes MP | :03:52. | :03:59. | |
Martin Vickers. Do you think your constituents will be in favour of | :03:59. | :04:05. | |
this train line which is nearly 100 miles away, as? I suspect the | :04:05. | :04:12. | |
reaction of my constituents is fairly mixed, as it is up and down | :04:12. | :04:17. | |
the country. The country is divided. It will benefit the UK economy. How | :04:17. | :04:26. | |
will HS2 help Grimsby and Cleethorpes? Well, without freeing | :04:26. | :04:42. | |
up capacity on the line, towns are unlikely to get better services they | :04:42. | :04:46. | |
need. Transferring capacity will divide better services. We need to | :04:46. | :04:51. | |
consider the massive growth in freight. A lot of it comes through | :04:51. | :04:57. | |
Immingham. Lot Prescott has said it will do nothing for the North. He is | :04:57. | :05:04. | |
entitled to his opinion. As on many other things, I think he is wrong on | :05:04. | :05:09. | |
this. This is the biggest spend in British history. This money have | :05:09. | :05:13. | |
been better improving local connections to East Yorkshire and | :05:13. | :05:19. | |
Lincolnshire, which some would say we desperately need? We do need | :05:19. | :05:25. | |
better services. The additional capacity will enable the network to | :05:25. | :05:32. | |
provide that. It is beneficial to the whole economy. Tap to steal in | :05:32. | :05:39. | |
Scunthorpe will be a contender for providing much of the Railtrack — — | :05:39. | :05:54. | |
Tata Steel in Scunthorpe. What we need is greater connectivity between | :05:54. | :05:59. | |
the provincial part of the country, particularly those out on the | :05:59. | :06:01. | |
periphery is such as my own constituency. That can be provided | :06:01. | :06:06. | |
when we free up the capacity. Too much emphasis is placed on the | :06:06. | :06:11. | |
speed. This is about capacity. When we talk about the 42 billion, we're | :06:11. | :06:20. | |
talking about that over 20 years. Very good to talk to you tonight. | :06:20. | :06:24. | |
We want to hear from you on this story, is it a good idea to spend | :06:24. | :06:28. | |
£50 billion in high speed rail or spend the money on improving other | :06:28. | :06:31. | |
parts of the transport network? In a moment: | :06:31. | :06:46. | |
look forward to hearing from you. In a moment: The mystery of the missing | :06:46. | :06:54. | |
memorial. The empty space which campaigners are desperate to see | :06:54. | :06:56. | |
Phil. ? Police and voluntary | :06:56. | :06:59. | |
help find missing people say lives are being put at risk because of the | :06:59. | :07:03. | |
theft of thousands of pounds worth of equipment. | :07:03. | :07:06. | |
Yorkshire and Lincolnshire Search and Rescue is now asking for help | :07:06. | :07:09. | |
after thieves took radios, rescue equipment and first aid kits. | :07:09. | :07:16. | |
Crispin Rolfe has been to speak to them. The blue bag is a medical grab | :07:16. | :07:25. | |
bag. Very life—saving and life dependent equipment. Examples of | :07:25. | :07:31. | |
just what has been stolen from Yorkshire and Lincolnshire search | :07:31. | :07:35. | |
and rescue. Not just medical supplies, but safety equipment and | :07:35. | :07:38. | |
communications, without which they cannot operate. The kit adds up to | :07:38. | :07:45. | |
nearly £12,000 worth of equipment. It has taken so long to raise money | :07:45. | :07:49. | |
to buy this. To be in a situation where we had to make a decision, do | :07:50. | :07:54. | |
we can we go out and look for your relative, that is heartbreaking. The | :07:54. | :07:59. | |
last four years, that is what they have done. In recent cases, local | :07:59. | :08:21. | |
teams have played a key role. People need to be found as quickly and | :08:21. | :08:24. | |
swiftly as possible. These people help us. It is vital we find this | :08:24. | :08:32. | |
equipment and it is returned so they can continue delivering the | :08:32. | :08:34. | |
excellent service and carry on saving lives. It was stolen from the | :08:34. | :08:42. | |
back of the team 's van. A blow to the men and women who have come | :08:43. | :08:48. | |
together to provide extra support, not just to Yorkshire and | :08:48. | :08:55. | |
Lincolnshire, but also to a butcher in Cheshire. This team of volunteers | :08:55. | :08:59. | |
hopes for generosity, either from the themselves from charity, to help | :08:59. | :09:05. | |
them buy new equipment in order to ensure they do not have to pack up | :09:05. | :09:10. | |
for good. Some more news now. | :09:10. | :09:12. | |
Police in Lincolnshire say they've begun a murder inquiry following the | :09:12. | :09:15. | |
death of a 79—year—old woman. The woman, who hasn't been named, had | :09:15. | :09:19. | |
been taken to hospital in Lincoln from her home in the village of | :09:19. | :09:22. | |
Dunholme on Sunday. She died in Hospital on Tuesday. A 51—year—old | :09:22. | :09:25. | |
man has been arrested in West Yorkshire and is helping police with | :09:25. | :09:31. | |
their enquiries. The Trust which runs the East Riding | :09:31. | :09:34. | |
Community Hospital has revealed that its funding is being cut by almost | :09:34. | :09:38. | |
£4,000 a day. 18 beds at the hospital had to be suspended after a | :09:38. | :09:41. | |
report raised concerns about the quality of care. A spokesperson for | :09:41. | :09:46. | |
the Humber Foundation Trust says the funding will increase once all the | :09:46. | :09:57. | |
beds are re—opened. The emergency services have spent the afternoon | :09:57. | :10:01. | |
dealing with a lorry fire on the A17 in Lincolnshire. This was the scene | :10:01. | :10:05. | |
on the road near Holbeach earlier this afternoon when thirty tonnes of | :10:05. | :10:07. | |
straw caught fire. Drivers faced delays in the area as two fire | :10:07. | :10:10. | |
engines put the fire out. A group of influential MPs says a | :10:10. | :10:14. | |
Government programme to roll out super—fast broadband to rural areas | :10:14. | :10:16. | |
including Lincolnshire and East Yorkshire is taking too long. The | :10:16. | :10:19. | |
report by the Public Accounts Committee says there's a lack of | :10:19. | :10:22. | |
competition in the industry. A campaign group lobbying for better | :10:22. | :10:25. | |
rural broadband says Lincolnshire County Council is making | :10:25. | :10:32. | |
improvements. There is a lack of competition so it is hard for | :10:32. | :10:35. | |
authorities to judge if they are getting good value for money. There | :10:35. | :10:46. | |
is only one supplier. It is a problem. | :10:46. | :10:47. | |
Sleaford Town Football Club have been kicked out of the FA Cup. 12 | :10:47. | :10:52. | |
days ago, the team was involved in a huge brawl which involved rival club | :10:52. | :10:56. | |
Huntington Town. Amy Cole is in our newsroom. Was the team expecting | :10:56. | :11:05. | |
this punishment? They were expecting something to | :11:05. | :11:08. | |
happen, but this was the toughest punishment they could have got and | :11:08. | :11:11. | |
they're very disappointed. The brawl broke out during the home game | :11:11. | :11:14. | |
between Sleaford Town and Huntingdon Town on Saturday 14th, and it spread | :11:14. | :11:18. | |
to fans from both sides. They were playing in the FA Cup First round | :11:18. | :11:22. | |
qualifying tie, but the match had to be abandoned just minutes before the | :11:22. | :11:27. | |
final whistle. Both clubs were charged by the FA for failing to | :11:27. | :11:30. | |
ensure their players and supporters conducted themselves in a proper | :11:30. | :11:33. | |
fashion and refrained from provocative and violent behaviour. | :11:33. | :11:36. | |
It's still unclear what led to the brawl. Today's decision to throw | :11:36. | :11:40. | |
them out of the FA Cup was made on the basis of a report by the | :11:40. | :11:47. | |
referee. This afternoon the club said it believed witness statements | :11:47. | :11:52. | |
submitted to the FA were fair. We believe that a lot of the witness | :11:52. | :11:58. | |
statement where broadly in our favour. | :11:58. | :12:03. | |
Both clubs have been fined £150. Sleaford Town say they are waiting | :12:03. | :12:07. | |
to see the official report, due tomorrow, before deciding whether to | :12:07. | :12:10. | |
appeal the decision. If they choose not to appeal, it means they won't | :12:10. | :12:13. | |
be able to progress any further in the competition. | :12:13. | :12:24. | |
Still ahead tonight: Sitting down on the job — the human statue looking | :12:24. | :12:26. | |
to take on the world. ?? new I have been punched, Spartak, | :12:26. | :12:35. | |
kissed, offered drink. It is like being in the newsroom. | :12:35. | :12:48. | |
The Red Arrows themselves sent in this picture of them on their way to | :12:48. | :12:50. | |
Nice, flying over the Alps. Stunning picture. Good evening, | :12:50. | :13:06. | |
young man. I am very well. The dicky bird tells | :13:06. | :13:11. | |
me you were discussing clouds with Alistair Campbell yesterday on the | :13:11. | :13:14. | |
radio. Absolutely. It is your worst | :13:14. | :13:22. | |
nightmare, they knocked in a room with Alistair Campbell, you and the | :13:22. | :13:26. | |
cloud appreciation Society — — being locked in a room. | :13:26. | :13:31. | |
It looks as though we will have a lots of fine weather with sunshine. | :13:31. | :13:38. | |
The good news is that this system is not going to make much progress | :13:38. | :13:45. | |
northwards. For others, the last week in September is looking very | :13:45. | :13:51. | |
nice. That is great news. It is been a lovely afternoon. Lots of sunshine | :13:51. | :13:56. | |
around. Through this evening, it looks set to be dry with clear | :13:56. | :14:01. | |
period. Overnight, it may be that cloud tends to increase from the | :14:01. | :14:08. | |
south. Clear spells. Temperatures down to nine or 10 Celsius. The sun | :14:08. | :14:22. | |
will rise at around 6:56am. It looks as though we are in for a lovely day | :14:22. | :14:27. | |
tomorrow. A bit of cloud first thing, but a dry and bright day with | :14:27. | :14:39. | |
some long spells of sunshine. Temperatures will be very pleasant. | :14:39. | :14:44. | |
I'd injury field of 16 Celsius. That is 61 Fahrenheit. — — highs in true | :14:44. | :14:56. | |
field of 16 Celsius. The weekend is very nice. Not bad for the end | :14:56. | :15:00. | |
September. It will become quite breezy. That might take the edge of | :15:00. | :15:05. | |
the temperatures, but some pleasant spells of autumnal sunshine. | :15:05. | :15:11. | |
It is like it is like a lottery. I suppose it is when you are doing it. | :15:11. | :15:21. | |
See you tomorrow. There are calls for a war memorial | :15:21. | :15:28. | |
at Great Coates near Grimsby to be returned to its original location | :15:28. | :15:32. | |
until a new site for it is agreed. The memorial was removed from the | :15:32. | :15:35. | |
wall of a community hall when it was sold for redevelopment. But the | :15:35. | :15:41. | |
village council says it's unlikely to be relocated in time for | :15:41. | :15:44. | |
Remembrance Sunday. Caroline Bilton reports. | :15:44. | :15:46. | |
Remembering those who made the ultimate sacrifice — in just over a | :15:46. | :15:50. | |
month's time we will do what we have done for decades, not just in | :15:50. | :15:53. | |
London, but at memorials across the country. But not here in the village | :15:53. | :15:59. | |
of Great Coates — because this is where their memorial used to be, and | :15:59. | :16:03. | |
no—one seems to know where it has gone. It's been in the village for | :16:03. | :16:24. | |
95 years. My uncle came was killed in Florida. He is buried there, so | :16:24. | :16:31. | |
there is no local grey. The memorial is sort of a gravestone. The | :16:31. | :16:37. | |
memorial used to be on community hall until it was sold for | :16:37. | :16:40. | |
redevelopment. A few months ago, it disappeared. Rumours have been rife | :16:40. | :16:44. | |
that it has been damaged in that process. The village council told as | :16:45. | :16:51. | |
it is safe and undamaged, and they plan to re—erected here, on the site | :16:51. | :16:55. | |
of the new village. That would be in time for Remembrance Sunday. We have | :16:55. | :17:02. | |
to get planning permission. As soon as we have permission, we can do | :17:02. | :17:08. | |
that. Local residents say in the meantime, it should be returned to | :17:08. | :17:14. | |
its original home. That war memorial should be put back where it was | :17:14. | :17:22. | |
until such a point as it can be effectively, properly and | :17:22. | :17:33. | |
sympathetically put up. People here want to see and enter this saga. | :17:33. | :17:36. | |
They want to know where the memorial is, what state it is in and when or | :17:36. | :17:47. | |
if it will ever be replaced. We will follow that one. We told you | :17:47. | :17:53. | |
last night that the Beverley and Holderness MP Graham Stuart said | :17:53. | :17:56. | |
parents were being "left out of pocket" when it comes to school | :17:56. | :17:59. | |
transport. In the village of Thorngumbald, some children who | :17:59. | :18:01. | |
qualify for free travel, have been told next term, they'll have to pay | :18:01. | :18:06. | |
more than £500 for a pass. If they walk, part of their route is | :18:06. | :18:10. | |
alongside a road with a 60 miles an hour speed limit. | :18:10. | :18:10. | |
Thank you for Workers have begun to fill | :18:10. | :18:53. | |
Sleaford's new swimming pool in preparation for its opening next | :18:53. | :19:02. | |
month. The process will take around six days to complete. The leisure | :19:02. | :19:06. | |
centre has taken a year to build, and cost nearly three million | :19:06. | :19:10. | |
pounds. We have a number of tests to do. The sheer weight of the water, | :19:10. | :19:21. | |
that puts a lot of pressure on the Paul. It has been sat empty for | :19:21. | :19:25. | |
getting on 11 months now. We do not want to change the alignment | :19:25. | :19:27. | |
quickly. After nearly 13 years working for | :19:27. | :19:30. | |
the Diocese of Lincoln, the Bishop of Grantham is standing down from | :19:30. | :19:40. | |
the post. The Right Reverend Doctor Tim Ellis was ordained 37 years ago | :19:40. | :19:43. | |
today. He's been outspoken about a number of issues, including gay | :19:43. | :19:45. | |
marriage, the first Gulf War and the cost of Margaret Thatcher's funeral. | :19:45. | :19:50. | |
And Bishop Tim joins me now from our Lincoln studio. Good evening. When | :19:50. | :19:54. | |
you became bishop, I guess you where aware about how outspoken you were. | :19:54. | :19:58. | |
Very different from what we have been used to. I don't think so. | :19:59. | :20:03. | |
There has always been a rich tradition within the church of | :20:03. | :20:07. | |
people expressing all sorts of opposing views. One thing I always | :20:07. | :20:13. | |
say is that the church is not a political party. We do not have two | :20:13. | :20:19. | |
to eight line. — — we do not have to tell a party line. You have never | :20:19. | :20:27. | |
been afraid of speaking out. Do people mind you having strong views | :20:27. | :20:31. | |
about things like Margaret Thatcher and her economic policies? The | :20:31. | :20:38. | |
people who agreed with the policies she issued will disagree with me — — | :20:38. | :20:46. | |
people agreed with her policies will disagree with me. My concern is that | :20:46. | :20:54. | |
we look to the future, but learn the lessons of the past. As I lead, I am | :20:54. | :21:05. | |
concerned about problems which affect the people of Lincolnshire | :21:05. | :21:09. | |
now. You like football and you are perhaps the first bishop to have an | :21:09. | :21:10. | |
earring. Is it still in? Yes. It is. old. My children will not allow me | :21:10. | :21:27. | |
to take it out. I just forget about it. Well, it does suit you. We wish | :21:27. | :21:33. | |
you well for the future. Another passion of yours is Sheffield | :21:33. | :21:38. | |
Wednesday, isn't it? Yes. I hope I will have more time for them, but I | :21:38. | :21:44. | |
hope I will have something more worthwhile watching. Also, the | :21:44. | :21:50. | |
bishop elect rock and pop music. Yes, I do. I always have done since | :21:50. | :21:58. | |
being a small boy. I try to keep up with music as it has progressed. I | :21:58. | :22:03. | |
still buy contemporary music. I learn a lot from my children and my | :22:03. | :22:09. | |
grandchildren, and from that young people I have dealt with here. We | :22:09. | :22:15. | |
think you are the trendiest vicar. We wish you all the very best for | :22:15. | :22:20. | |
the future. Hope you are happy. That is very kind of you. Thank you. | :22:20. | :22:23. | |
The Hull City manager says they couldn't have been given a harder | :22:23. | :22:29. | |
draw in the Capital One Cup. Steve Bruce will take his team to | :22:29. | :22:32. | |
Tottenham Hotspur in the fourth round. The two sides meet in the | :22:32. | :22:44. | |
League on Sunday 27th October, with the cup tie just a few days later. | :22:44. | :22:49. | |
There are three or four individuals who need games, so it has been | :22:49. | :22:53. | |
invaluable for them. We are in the next round. Let's hope we can | :22:53. | :23:02. | |
perform at Spurs. We look forward to it. | :23:02. | :23:06. | |
In rugby league, Hull FC captain Gareth Ellis has announced his | :23:07. | :23:09. | |
retirement form international retirement with immediate effect. | :23:09. | :23:12. | |
That means he'll play no part in the upcoming World Cup for England | :23:12. | :23:15. | |
despite having been picked in the initial squad. Ellis says he wants | :23:15. | :23:19. | |
to focus on playing for Hull FC and "make a contribution to help us | :23:19. | :23:25. | |
achieve things." The latest twist in Hull's bid to | :23:25. | :23:28. | |
become the next UK City of Culture was revealed earlier today in a | :23:28. | :23:35. | |
multistorey car park. Two elephants made from papier mache spent the | :23:36. | :23:38. | |
afternoon walking around the City's Pryme Street car park. If Hull is | :23:39. | :23:47. | |
successful in its attempt to win the title, the elephants will appear in | :23:47. | :23:51. | |
the opening parade. If we win, it will be in the opening ceremony, if | :23:51. | :23:56. | |
we are successful in getting the title of City of Culture. It fits | :23:56. | :24:01. | |
with our themes of freedom because elephants are symbols of freedom in | :24:01. | :24:03. | |
Africa. A performer from Hull is to | :24:03. | :24:06. | |
represent the UK in a rather unusual World Championships. Andy Train is | :24:06. | :24:14. | |
one of 40 living statues who will travel from all over the world for | :24:15. | :24:18. | |
the competition, to be held this weekend in the Netherlands. Jo Makel | :24:18. | :24:22. | |
has been to meet him. In Hull, the statues can be the | :24:22. | :24:25. | |
royal, the righteous and sometimes the real. | :24:25. | :24:36. | |
living statue often seen keeping still on the city's streets, | :24:36. | :24:44. | |
delighting young and old alike. I think it's fabulous. Everybody who | :24:44. | :24:52. | |
has gone posting has smiled. It is amazing, just not moving. Some try | :24:52. | :24:55. | |
and make him him move. Others are caught out. The gold man is the | :24:55. | :25:04. | |
creation of perfromer Andy Train. He's spent years perfecting the art | :25:04. | :25:14. | |
of stillness. It is concentrating on the breathing. Relaxation | :25:14. | :25:24. | |
techniques. I often think stone or metal. It works. In fact, Andy's got | :25:24. | :25:28. | |
so good at it that he's now been asked to represent the UK in the | :25:28. | :25:31. | |
Living Statue World Championships, due to be held this weekend in the | :25:31. | :25:34. | |
Netherlands. And the practise he's had in Hull has certainly prepared | :25:34. | :25:46. | |
him for anything. My home city is the most challenging place to be for | :25:47. | :25:50. | |
being a statue. I have been kicked in Hull, kicked, tickled, kissed by | :25:51. | :25:59. | |
men and women, offered during, spat acts. He was certainly a hit with | :25:59. | :26:02. | |
the crowd while we filmed. Some amazing people as well. So hopefully | :26:02. | :26:07. | |
the man with his seagull and chips will strike gold in Europe too. | :26:07. | :26:13. | |
Good luck to Andy for this weekend. Let's get a recap of the national | :26:13. | :26:19. | |
and regional headlines: Interpol issued an international alert for a | :26:19. | :26:24. | |
British woman who may be involved in an attack in Nairobi. | :26:24. | :26:30. | |
BMP for Cleethorpes tells us that HS2 will have indirect benefit for | :26:30. | :26:34. | |
Yorkshire and Lincolnshire. Unless we free up capacity on the East | :26:34. | :26:38. | |
Coast Main line, Grimsby, Cleethorpes, Scunthorpe and other | :26:38. | :26:42. | |
provincial towns are unlikely to get the better services they need. | :26:42. | :26:44. | |
Finally, the weather: response on the subject of the | :26:44. | :27:01. | |
high—speed train. Paul said, I think the money should be well spent on | :27:01. | :27:05. | |
other parts of the network to improve the service. Victoria said, | :27:05. | :27:11. | |
the money should improve existing lines and how about upgrading our | :27:11. | :27:15. | |
trains to double—decker trains as seen in Europe? Laura says, it would | :27:15. | :27:20. | |
free up capacity on the East Coast mainline. We need electrification. | :27:20. | :27:31. | |
Finally, Pauline Scunthorpe said, will we would be able to afford to | :27:31. | :27:37. | |
purchase tickets for the HS2? We do not enter as much as the | :27:37. | :27:40. | |
southerners. Drama for the radio tomorrow | :27:40. | :27:43. | |
lunchtime if you can. Have a nice evening. Goodbye. | :27:43. | :27:44. |
