unions and passenger groups have criticised the decision to increase | :01:11. | :01:11. | |
rail fares for some journeys Northern Rail is scrapping certain | :01:12. | :01:14. | |
off`peak tickets to raise money and admits it may put people off | :01:15. | :01:17. | |
travelling in the evening rush hour. Northern Rail runs some of the | :01:18. | :01:21. | |
busiest routes across our region. From September 8th, travelling on a | :01:22. | :01:28. | |
weekday between 4pm and 6.30pm will That means it'll be more expensive, | :01:29. | :01:32. | |
with passengers travelling within West and South Yorkshire and to some | :01:33. | :01:38. | |
parts of North Yorkshire, affected. A single trip between Sheffield | :01:39. | :01:43. | |
and Doncaster will increase by 90p. Leeds to Halifax will be ?2 | :01:44. | :01:53. | |

her daughter and grandchild heading back from shopping in Leeds to | :02:11. | :02:14. | |
Wakefield's Kirkgate Station. The cost of two adult fares on the | :02:15. | :02:16. | |
train they want to use today, ?8.60. From September 8th, | :02:17. | :02:22. | |
it will be ?11.60. When the authorities are trying to | :02:23. | :02:27. | |
get you to keep your cars at home and use public transport, | :02:28. | :02:30. | |
and then the transport is It is expensive whichever | :02:31. | :02:33. | |
way round you look at it. Northern, the biggest operator | :02:34. | :02:39. | |
of local trains across the North of England, says it will scrap off`peak | :02:40. | :02:44. | |
tickets between 4pm and 6:30pm The choice for customers, | :02:45. | :02:46. | |
pay higher`priced full fares, It has not gone well | :02:47. | :02:50. | |
with travellers. Not as many people travel | :02:51. | :02:56. | |
in the evening as they do in the day, so you're just charging | :02:57. | :03:00. | |
them more for no reason. That is the way everything is going, | :03:01. | :03:05. | |
isn't it? They are just pushing prices up | :03:06. | :03:07. | |
of everything. It is a way of making money, though, | :03:08. | :03:14. | |
by the train companies. Northern denies the extra | :03:15. | :03:18. | |
revenue will boost profits. It says it has the agreement of | :03:19. | :03:22. | |
Government to scrap off`peak late afternoon fairs so it can reduce | :03:23. | :03:25. | |
the public subsidy in currently It will also encourage passengers | :03:26. | :03:27. | |
to switch from overcrowded trains. The national passenger | :03:28. | :03:38. | |
watchdog is not convinced. We're disappointed that | :03:39. | :03:40. | |
Northern Rail and the Department of Transport have not doing more to | :03:41. | :03:42. | |
actually collect the fares. Many passengers tell us they're | :03:43. | :03:45. | |
quite frustrated and annoyed that So how much is leaking out of | :03:46. | :03:47. | |
the system that could be collected? Northern says it is also committed | :03:48. | :03:52. | |
to spending ?6 million over the next two years on improving passenger | :03:53. | :03:56. | |
facilities and its ticketing system. Len Tingle is at | :03:57. | :04:05. | |
Leeds Railway Station this evening. What have they told you about the | :04:06. | :04:18. | |
changes? In a series of statements, the company said they had been in | :04:19. | :04:22. | |
discussion with the Department for Transport for some months now and | :04:23. | :04:26. | |
both sides agreed that they had two reads `` raise revenue because the | :04:27. | :04:29. | |
services are some of the most heavily subsidised in the whole of | :04:30. | :04:33. | |
England. This was the best we're doing it affecting the least of | :04:34. | :04:37. | |
passengers. Trade unions say that there is outrageous and that there | :04:38. | :04:41. | |
tries a cart and horses through a categorical promise me just a few | :04:42. | :04:45. | |
months ago that no fare rises would be higher than the rate of inflation | :04:46. | :04:50. | |
for the next ten years at least. This could not have happened without | :04:51. | :05:13. | |
the approval of the government?, it has committed to a huge investment | :05:14. | :05:17. | |
in northern mill services to improve local services. | :05:18. | :05:19. | |
This line, where it came from had a goat comes, `` the train from Handel | :05:20. | :05:41. | |

We'll meet Sohail Rehman, who's landed a dream coaching job | :05:45. | :05:48. | |
at Manchester United despite being confined to a wheelchair. | :05:49. | :05:51. | |
Investigators are trying to work out what caused a house fire in Keighley | :05:52. | :05:54. | |
in which a four year`old boy was killed. | :05:55. | :05:56. | |
The fire broke out yesterday afternoon at the property on Sunny | :05:57. | :05:58. | |
A second boy, who is ten, and an adult are still | :05:59. | :06:03. | |
Emergency services were called here at 2pm yesterday afternoon. | :06:04. | :06:07. | |
When they arrived, they found an adult and two children | :06:08. | :06:12. | |
They were treated for the effects of breathing in smoke | :06:13. | :06:16. | |
and then transferred to hospital, where the four`year`old later died. | :06:17. | :06:18. | |
The adult and the 10`year`old boy are said to be recovering. | :06:19. | :06:21. | |
The emergency crews who worked to save them were deeply affected. | :06:22. | :06:27. | |
I think a tragic incident like this always affects people that | :06:28. | :06:30. | |
attend it, particularly where a young child is involved. | :06:31. | :06:32. | |
And certainly I know that the crews who attended yesterday have been | :06:33. | :06:36. | |
affected by this and clearly we will provide them with the appropriate | :06:37. | :06:39. | |
support to make sure they are able to deal with that and carry on doing | :06:40. | :06:43. | |
The fire was confined to a back bedroom | :06:44. | :06:47. | |
Twin investigations by a West Yorkshire Fire Service | :06:48. | :06:52. | |
and West Yorkshire Police are now taking place into its cause. | :06:53. | :07:06. | |
Police have named a woman who was stabbed to death in Sheffield at the | :07:07. | :07:09. | |
Police were called to the house on Vickers Road in Firth Park | :07:10. | :07:13. | |
Three men were arrested on suspicion of the murder. | :07:14. | :07:16. | |
Two were released pending further inquiries. | :07:17. | :07:19. | |
A 42`year`old man remains in police custody. | :07:20. | :07:21. | |
Police have confirmed that human remains found near Brimham Rocks | :07:22. | :07:26. | |
last week are those of Gemma Simpson, who went missing | :07:27. | :07:29. | |
Gemma was 23 when she disappeared in May 2000. | :07:30. | :07:32. | |
She told a friend she was catching a bus from her home | :07:33. | :07:35. | |
in Harehills to Leeds city centre, going onto Huddersfield. | :07:36. | :07:38. | |
A man's been charged with Gemma's murder. | :07:39. | :07:42. | |
The University of Sheffield's students' union has been voted best | :07:43. | :07:47. | |
in the UK in the National Student Survey. | :07:48. | :07:49. | |
It's the third year running that the students union has won, helped by a | :07:50. | :07:52. | |
The National Student Survey asks students across the country | :07:53. | :08:00. | |
about the quality of their University courses. | :08:01. | :08:03. | |
It's designed to help prospective students assess their | :08:04. | :08:06. | |
Higher Education options, and results are published annually. | :08:07. | :08:09. | |
Next tonight, the disgraced former Rotherham MP Denis Macshane | :08:10. | :08:12. | |
He's speaking out about his time in one of the country's toughest jails. | :08:13. | :08:18. | |
Mr Macshane was sent to prison just before Christmas | :08:19. | :08:21. | |
His diaries recall how he was locked up alongside gangsters and killers, | :08:22. | :09:54. | |
claims and the judge said that there was no false game. Unlike some NP | :09:55. | :09:58. | |
friends who have made happy million pounds using taxpayers money to | :09:59. | :10:01. | |
speculate on the London property market, yes, I spent money | :10:02. | :10:05. | |
travelling, networking in Europe, the receipts were there and the | :10:06. | :10:11. | |
police investigated me for 20 months and cleared me and it went back to | :10:12. | :10:16. | |
the politicians and the Commons. I made a mistake and I have been | :10:17. | :10:23. | |
apologising for four or five years now. In your diary, you brought that | :10:24. | :10:29. | |
I am sure because of who I am, not what I did. It does not sound dated | :10:30. | :10:31. | |
remorseful. You are a criminal and | :10:32. | 0:03:39 |
