Good evening and welcome to BBC Look North.

:00:00.:00:00.

One of the biggest shake ups of the rail network in years `

:00:00.:00:10.

concerns some services from this area could go.

:00:11.:00:14.

We get the reaction from rail passengers ` and ask what

:00:15.:00:21.

We know it makes a massive impact on the tourism trade. This is about how

:00:22.:00:30.

we deliver ?1 billion of investment in the North.

:00:31.:00:32.

We get the reaction from rail passengers ` and ask what

:00:33.:00:35.

We'd be stranded in our own little community. We be better off on the

:00:36.:00:51.

coach. I think we definitely need is more investments.

:00:52.:00:52.

Pushing back the boundaries ` the East Yorkshire residents who are

:00:53.:00:57.

The Grimsby MP who says the Labour party has too many women in it `

:00:58.:01:03.

I think it's pretty antiquated and it's disappointing Austin Mitchell,

:01:04.:01:17.

knowing that the Labour Party worked very hard to address this imbalance

:01:18.:01:19.

in parliaments. And an East Yorkshire man's

:01:20.:01:21.

remarkable weight loss ` how he lost And after today's heavy showers, and

:01:22.:01:39.

lighter datacom tomorrow. `` day to come.

:01:40.:01:43.

The economy of East Yorkshire will suffer

:01:44.:01:46.

a "devastating blow" if direct rail services between Bridlington

:01:47.:01:49.

That's according to a local rail expert,

:01:50.:01:53.

who says there's a good chance the service could be cancelled when

:01:54.:01:57.

Today is the last day of a government consultation

:01:58.:02:05.

on rail franchises in this area, as they work out where to spend one

:02:06.:02:10.

billion pounds of investment for the network.

:02:11.:02:12.

In a moment we will hear from the transport minister

:02:13.:02:14.

but first, here's our Business Correspondent Sarah Corker.

:02:15.:02:18.

Holidaymakers heading to the seaside this morning.

:02:19.:02:21.

This is one of 14 direct trains a day from Sheffield.

:02:22.:02:27.

But there's concern this service could be reduced

:02:28.:02:30.

They will not have the same passion about keeping

:02:31.:02:36.

services at Bridlington, Grimsby and Hull that we have.

:02:37.:02:39.

We know it makes a massive impact on the tourism trade.

:02:40.:02:42.

If we lose these services, it will be a devastating blow.

:02:43.:02:47.

This direct link is why some tourists visit Bridlington

:02:48.:02:49.

Even just one change makes it slower than a coach.

:02:50.:02:55.

It?s very important, or else probably wouldn't come.

:02:56.:03:01.

There is no direct service for you to come?

:03:02.:03:03.

The government has been asking the public how they?d like rail services

:03:04.:03:12.

This consultation document warns there will be trade`offs.

:03:13.:03:19.

Higher fares for newer trains and there could be a focus

:03:20.:03:22.

Last month, we told you about proposals to scrap

:03:23.:03:28.

direct services from Cleethorpes to Manchester Airport, with passengers

:03:29.:03:33.

Now there is a worry that the direct route from Bridlington to

:03:34.:03:39.

Sheffield and Doncaster could be under threat too.

:03:40.:03:42.

Campaigners say some services could be moved to busier routes in Leeds

:03:43.:03:47.

and Manchester, creating an East`West divide.

:03:48.:03:50.

No decisions have yet been made, but today in London the RMT protested.

:03:51.:03:59.

We already have some of the lowest investment

:04:00.:04:01.

Railways should operate for passengers, local communities and

:04:02.:04:08.

I don't believe that this particular document does any of that.

:04:09.:04:13.

Some businesses here feel they already get

:04:14.:04:16.

an inferior service compared to other parts of the country.

:04:17.:04:21.

They need more direct links, not less.

:04:22.:04:24.

They?re just leaving this part of the country in limbo

:04:25.:04:26.

Bridlington would suffer just like other places are suffering

:04:27.:04:32.

The government's pledge is better connections across the North.

:04:33.:04:38.

Rail users here want to make sure they get their fair share

:04:39.:04:41.

Earlier, I spoke to the transport minister

:04:42.:04:51.

Well, we do need to look at how we can best serve places

:04:52.:05:02.

like Cleethorpes and Bridlington, because currently the majority of

:05:03.:05:06.

people that come from Cleethorpes, for example, will terminate

:05:07.:05:09.

Whether we can have three services, which is possible, or whether we

:05:10.:05:16.

should have more people changing at Doncaster remains to be seen,

:05:17.:05:19.

but that is a very important route, particularly the route through

:05:20.:05:22.

Cleethorpes to Barton and people connect to the buses to get to Hull.

:05:23.:05:29.

It?s important that we maintain services in that part

:05:30.:05:31.

Was asking people to read a complicated 90 page document

:05:32.:05:38.

Well, it's a very complex matter, providing rail services

:05:39.:05:44.

1100 is a large number of responses and of course we had responses

:05:45.:05:50.

from organisations such as the trade unions and passenger groups,

:05:51.:05:52.

In other cases, people will have just looked at the parts of the

:05:53.:06:00.

document that refer to their own area and responded in that regard.

:06:01.:06:03.

Final question, if we were to do an interview in five years? time,

:06:04.:06:06.

do you think there would be more or less direct train services out

:06:07.:06:09.

Let's see what the consultation response is.

:06:10.:06:15.

I'm asking you, as Transport Minister,

:06:16.:06:19.

We will be in a better position in December when we have looked

:06:20.:06:29.

at the responses, but it's not just a case of through

:06:30.:06:32.

services, it's a case of frequency of services, the quality of rolling

:06:33.:06:37.

There are no proposals to close stations.

:06:38.:06:42.

Good to talk to you tonight, Minister.

:06:43.:06:55.

We'll have the latest on the injury to Hull City's big

:06:56.:06:59.

summer signing ` and what it could mean for their season.

:07:00.:07:05.

People in East Yorkshire are being urged to vote against plans

:07:06.:07:09.

Hull City Council wants to absorb places such as Hedon,

:07:10.:07:17.

Cottingham and Swanland into its control ` saying it would have

:07:18.:07:20.

But the East Riding of Yorkshire Council claims it's

:07:21.:07:25.

Now a campaign has started to get people

:07:26.:07:29.

to vote against the proposal next month, as Crispin Rolfe reports.

:07:30.:07:40.

East Riding towns on the edge of whole. The city council wants an

:07:41.:07:46.

inside its boundaries but East Riding doesn't and has organised a

:07:47.:07:51.

referendum. A new campaign is spreading here. Most are fighting

:07:52.:07:59.

change. It's very important because if we

:08:00.:08:03.

don't get the majority of the people engaging with the campaign is

:08:04.:08:07.

joining in with the referendum, the city council will regard that as a

:08:08.:08:11.

lack of interest. This is how they could expand into

:08:12.:08:15.

East Riding, with 12 parishes being put forward for the boundary

:08:16.:08:19.

commission to consider. Nine to the west of the city and three to the

:08:20.:08:23.

east. Today, few seem to want to leave the East Riding to become part

:08:24.:08:26.

of Hull. Leave it as it is. That's my

:08:27.:08:31.

opinion. I think they want to say they are

:08:32.:08:35.

bigger cities are making get a bigger cut of cash from the

:08:36.:08:39.

government. The border with Hull is where the

:08:40.:08:47.

East Riding wanted to stay. A postal referendum is being organised

:08:48.:08:50.

between the eighth and the 26th of December to drum up support. The

:08:51.:08:55.

referendum is not binding but could influence the commission. Hull City

:08:56.:09:00.

council says the argument is clear, ``, the area is Better Together when

:09:01.:09:03.

challenging for government investments.

:09:04.:09:06.

This is about council is working effectively together. Is the

:09:07.:09:14.

argument to remain the status quo? Know because every other area in the

:09:15.:09:18.

north are combining together for the benefits of their area and we are

:09:19.:09:25.

being left out in this region. Referendum's results will be

:09:26.:09:28.

announced at the end of September with both sides saying that a low

:09:29.:09:32.

votes will favour Hull's arguments, but ultimately any final decision

:09:33.:09:33.

will be up to the government. We want to hear from you

:09:34.:09:38.

on this story, do you think it would I have been speaking to the Mayor of

:09:39.:09:54.

Hadden. And sure there are merits in the

:09:55.:09:58.

arguments but unfortunately it is not all one`sided. There are lots

:09:59.:10:02.

more disadvantages for the residents of East Yorkshire on a particularly

:10:03.:10:05.

those communities potentially affected by the extension of the

:10:06.:10:11.

boundaries. What is the main reason why you don't want to be part of

:10:12.:10:15.

whole? There are a few reasons but lots of

:10:16.:10:20.

identity `` loss of identity, loss of decision`making and a complete

:10:21.:10:24.

change to our way of life. I natural issues because we fear that the ?50

:10:25.:10:28.

million in council tax that the residents of East Yorkshire

:10:29.:10:35.

currently pay will disappear. If it's not worried by people who

:10:36.:10:39.

are traumatised at the thought of having Hull as their address?

:10:40.:10:46.

I think not, no. We live where we live, we chose to live in parishes,

:10:47.:10:51.

villages and market towns. We did not have any choice to live in the

:10:52.:10:55.

city, it wasn't where we wanted to be.

:10:56.:10:59.

People are happy to work, happy to shop, happy to go out in Hull. Why

:11:00.:11:05.

don't `` why are they against being part of it?

:11:06.:11:10.

That's how it has always been. We are happy to shop and those who work

:11:11.:11:14.

in Hull and use the theatres and pay for the privilege. If we were not

:11:15.:11:18.

actually doing that, many of them would close. It's an interdependency

:11:19.:11:23.

thing. What about you, you are an estate

:11:24.:11:27.

agent, so you are worried about property prices?

:11:28.:11:34.

Not particularly. I am a chartered surveyor by profession so I have a

:11:35.:11:37.

wide cross`section in the work I do with property and prices.

:11:38.:11:42.

You have a lot of support those nights. What do you think the

:11:43.:11:46.

outcome of this vote is going to be? As a guessing man, what you think?

:11:47.:11:53.

I'm not guessing. We actually did a poll in the towel on the local

:11:54.:11:58.

blog. 85% or thereabouts of people who took part says no to the idea of

:11:59.:12:02.

the expansion of the boundaries. They also said no to the building of

:12:03.:12:06.

the green fields between the city and the villages. We think it is a

:12:07.:12:10.

foregone conclusion. What is your message to Hull City

:12:11.:12:14.

Council? We have worked together before in

:12:15.:12:18.

the past. East Riding and the city council work together in many

:12:19.:12:21.

regards and there is no reason why we cannot continue to do so. Why the

:12:22.:12:28.

need for this massive change? We can't fathom it.

:12:29.:12:29.

Brilliancy talk to you. We want to hear from you

:12:30.:12:34.

Labour too soft. And East Yorkshire man's remarkable weight loss. How he

:14:41.:14:42.

lost 11 stone in just 12 months. I always give you a good write`up,

:14:43.:15:29.

Peter! Don't worry, Paul is back next week. We have had and still

:15:30.:15:35.

have some heavy showers out there at the moment. Some fairly sharp

:15:36.:15:38.

showers to end the day. The good news for tomorrow, with a couple of

:15:39.:15:44.

exceptions, does looks largely dry. It will be cooler but without the

:15:45.:15:48.

breeze it will still feel quite pleasant. Overall, much cooler than

:15:49.:15:53.

average this week. The area is flowing down from the North show a

:15:54.:15:59.

chilly feel, particularly by night where we could get down to single

:16:00.:16:04.

figures. The mottled cloud, the shower clouds and this area is

:16:05.:16:10.

producing some heavy downpour. It will develop into a largely dry

:16:11.:16:13.

night. Temperatures falling back into single figures down to around

:16:14.:16:19.

nine. Ten or 11 in the towns and cities. The sun will rise in the

:16:20.:16:28.

morning at 5:46am. The next high water in Skegness will be at 1:17am.

:16:29.:16:35.

As we go through the course of the morning, we might see a few showers

:16:36.:16:38.

slipping into southwestern parts of Lincolnshire. They will tend to die

:16:39.:16:45.

away. It does looks largely dry. Open cloud and sunny spells and the

:16:46.:16:49.

breeze will be gentle from the north`west. Elijah Breeze and we

:16:50.:16:51.

have had today but the error, particularly in the shade, you'll

:16:52.:16:54.

feel quite chilly at around 16 degrees. These are the temperatures

:16:55.:17:01.

we would expect in May. Cool for this time of year but if you step

:17:02.:17:05.

into the sun, it will feel much warmer. I dry at school started the

:17:06.:17:09.

day on Wednesday. We might see a few showers springing up. More organised

:17:10.:17:13.

rain spreading down from the North on Thursday and it will clear to the

:17:14.:17:17.

south on Friday. It will still be quite cold.

:17:18.:17:23.

I think he will need retraining when he gets back! See you tomorrow.

:17:24.:17:36.

The Grimsby MP Austin Mitchell has defended his comments about a female

:17:37.:17:38.

MPs amid criticism from his party. He will stand down next year. He

:17:39.:17:43.

told a Sunday newspaper that more women make labour weaker in

:17:44.:17:48.

Parliament. His comments had been dismissed by a female in PE.

:17:49.:17:53.

Austin Mitchell has been known for his flamboyant headline grabbing

:17:54.:17:56.

actions and opinions for many of his 37 years as Grimsby MP.

:17:57.:18:01.

But his comments in a Sunday paper, stating that increasing female MP

:18:02.:18:07.

numbers was weakening Parliament, has upset even his own party. Today

:18:08.:18:12.

he was standing by the comments. I think they change the tone of

:18:13.:18:15.

Parliament is because they are concerned with different issues. The

:18:16.:18:23.

lightning flash of three debates will be lost. I think they're more

:18:24.:18:29.

concerned with family issues and local issues.

:18:30.:18:35.

He says he feels enough has been done to realign the gender balance

:18:36.:18:39.

and a local parties should be able to choose their own candidates.

:18:40.:18:44.

What I said was true. I think a number of people recognise that it

:18:45.:18:48.

is true. The argument has to be dealt with. If I'm wrong, it's ivory

:18:49.:18:58.

busting the arguments that by `` people have said I am a male

:18:59.:19:03.

chauvinist. You can ask my wife! As my daughters. Across the Humber,

:19:04.:19:07.

the Labour MP for East Hollies angry.

:19:08.:19:12.

The Labour Party try to address that issue and bring more women into

:19:13.:19:15.

politics. I think we are doing a good job but this does not help.

:19:16.:19:23.

Austin Mitchell should be out camping is not complaining.

:19:24.:19:31.

He was chosen from a short list `` the next candidate for Grimsby

:19:32.:19:35.

indicated she would be talking to Austin Mitchell about the article.

:19:36.:19:39.

Here in Grimsby, there has been little support for his views.

:19:40.:19:43.

We need someone more in touch with what is going on in the world, like

:19:44.:19:47.

the cost of living. He's lucky he kept his seat here for

:19:48.:19:50.

all these years. That has the more women to give our

:19:51.:19:54.

point of view. Esther Mitchell said he simply

:19:55.:20:00.

wanted to open debate. My wife thinks I should keep my head

:20:01.:20:08.

down! A bit late for that now!

Ryan was hit while riding on his bike. He is making progress and his

:20:33.:20:40.

family are getting ready to welcome him home. There was a big response

:20:41.:20:44.

on this story is particularly the campaign to make bicycle helmets

:20:45.:20:45.

compulsory. Former Hull City star Dean Windass

has been speaking to Dean. It's not a sight any manager wants

to see ` a player limping Scottish international

Robert Snodgrass had played less than half the game when he was

:21:33.:21:37.

at the moment, we have to say. We?re just going to keep

our fingers crossed. He?ll have a scan and an x`ray

and examinations over Speaking today, former Tigers star

:21:47.:21:48.

Dean Windass said that the squad possessed enough quality to overcome

:21:49.:21:53.

the potential loss of Snodgrass. Stephen Quinn came on, and they

:21:54.:22:00.

played very well when he came on. You?ve got David Meyler

:22:01.:22:03.

on the bench who?ll be chomping at It's unfortunate

:22:04.:22:06.

but Steve will look out. Whoever takes Snodgrass's place,

came closest to scoring, but Snodgrass ?compatriot Andy

from everyone today was brilliant. That's the main aim ? to stay

:22:57.:22:58.

in the Premier League and if we do that it?s another season and it?s

more money to spend as well because the longer you stay in the Premier

a European clash in Belgium, but there are changes afoot as

Alex Bruce also collected an injury, although it's not considered

:23:15.:23:19.

as serious as that of the Scots. Scunthorpe United have signed a new

:23:20.:23:38.

striker after a poor start to the season. They lost their first two
