:04:38. > :04:41.Our reporter Ben Godfrey is in Telford for us now.
:04:42. > :04:48.So, what's happened with this food supplier?
:04:49. > :04:50.It's not often you're discussing sandwiches
:04:51. > :04:53.and the NHS in the same breath but here at the Princess Royal
:04:54. > :04:55.Hospital, patients are going without them
:04:56. > :04:58.because the Trust can't pay for them - at least at the moment,
:04:59. > :05:02.such are the financial constraints they're bearing.
:05:03. > :05:05.Last autumn, the Trust was forecasting it would be in debt

:05:43. > :05:43."increased availability of toast, yoghurts and fruit".
:05:44. > :05:47.Yes, he says, suppliers have been asked to accept new terms of payment
:05:48. > :05:49.because of additional pressures they are facing - and that's even
:05:50. > :05:51.after cutting spending on agency staff, for example.
:05:52. > :05:54.But he adds this is a temporary issue with sandwich supplies -
:05:55. > :06:01.and hot meals are available on wards as an alternative.
:06:02. > :06:06.If you were hoping for a sandwich in Telford or Shrewsbury tonight, think
:06:07. > :06:12.again. Thank you. A third of Coventry's bus lanes
:06:13. > :06:15.were opened up to ordinary traffic today to see if the measure
:06:16. > :06:17.will help reduce congestion. The council's starting
:06:18. > :06:19.a six month pilot scheme, and also hopes it might cut
:06:20. > :06:21.the pollution caused Bus operators fear it will be harder
:06:22. > :06:27.to stick to their timetables and taxi drivers are also
:06:28. > :06:28.concerned. Now there are "rail pastors" -
:06:29. > :06:31.volunteers who will accompany the police to offer help to those
:06:32. > :06:34.in distress across the rail network. Last year British Transport Officers
:06:35. > :06:37.in the West Midlands were called to 460 incidents near railways,
:06:38. > :06:39.involving people with mental health problems -
:06:40. > :06:41.and to 21 suspected suicides. They spent 26 days responding
:06:42. > :06:44.to incidents of self harm or suicide At Stourbridge junction journeys
:06:45. > :06:52.beginning and ending, lives intersecting.
:06:53. > :06:54.Not everyone, though, has a place Just have to look
:06:55. > :07:02.after people, really. It's the lonely, the lost
:07:03. > :07:04.and the desperate the rail We've had some excellent training
:07:05. > :07:10.from the Samaritans. They told us how to speak to people
:07:11. > :07:14.and what to say and more And with training, I would feel
:07:15. > :07:23.quite confident trying Like street pastors already
:07:24. > :07:27.established in many midlands towns and cities, the rail pastors
:07:28. > :07:38.are local church volunteers working some sort of partnership,
:07:39. > :07:45.that its community feeling in basis and the rail pastors,
:07:46. > :07:48.you can come in the eyes and ears of British Transport Police
:07:49. > :07:50.we are not available, to actually interject
:07:51. > :07:52.and ease any issues. Is not just about the distressed
:07:53. > :07:54.and depressed, though. With acts as drastic as suicide,
:07:55. > :07:57.there are consequences for many. It's absolutely devastating,
:07:58. > :07:59.not just for the family, the person that has undertaken
:08:00. > :08:02.the act, but for station staff, drivers, senior
:08:03. > :08:04.conductors and people that Heading to Birmingham's Snow Hill
:08:05. > :08:28.station tonight, there is a welcome If they want to help people, it is
:08:29. > :08:32.good. A lot of people are depressed and if someone is there to talk to
:08:33. > :08:37.them, it is nice. When you see please, if you scared but with these
:08:38. > :08:43.people, you will be more comfortable to talk to them. Police reckon there
:08:44. > :08:46.could be 80 potential life-saving interventions last year. The rail
:08:47. > :08:52.pastors aim to cast the net wider still.
:08:53. > :08:54.Finally, proud parents Emily and Tommy have been
:08:55. > :08:56.showing off their daughter, Darcey, today, the baby born
:08:57. > :08:59.in the back of a police car last week, because of the snow.
:09:00. > :09:02.The couple from Stone were on their way to the hospital
:09:03. > :09:04.when their car broke down - and they had to be
:09:05. > :09:10.As soon as I seen that police car, it's, "Ah... Yes!
:09:11. > :09:11."We might get some proper assistance."
:09:12. > :09:14.But I was hoping they'd get us to the hospital
:09:15. > :09:22.That's all from me, have a good night - I'll leave
:09:23. > :09:33.Good evening. What a dark and dingy day. You would not want to get out
:09:34. > :09:41.of bed let alone walk to the bus stop. A gloomy day through much of
:09:42. > :09:48.the region. This is how it is looking. Most will have to wait
:09:49. > :09:54.until the weekend for brighter conditions. It will turn colder. We
:09:55. > :09:59.are under a massive cloud, hill fog across the spine of the region and
:10:00. > :10:08.spots of rain towards the north-west. Temperatures between
:10:09. > :10:12.three and five Celsius. A cloudy day tomorrow but drier than this

:10:33. > :10:39.from the cloudy conditions. Fairly widespread frost. Otherwise, cloudy
:10:40. > :10:48.and mild. A dry night tomorrow. With the dry day but a cold one.
:10:49. > :10:56.Temperatures rising to six and seven Celsius. The lingering front across

:11:03. > :11:07.forecast is next. perhaps a little milder. If you like
:11:08. > :11:11.the mild weather, you'll have to head elsewhere in the country. Find
:11:12. > :11:15.out more in the national weather forecast. Our weather is going
:11:16. > :11:20.against normal expectations this week. In Highland Scotland some snow
:11:21. > :11:24.to be seen on the hills. Temperatures as high as 12 Celsius
:11:25. > :11:28.today. Over the next few days the coldest air is in the far south-east
:11:29. > :11:33.of England where there is sunshine to be had. Four or five Celsius in
:11:34. > :11:39.Kent. Differences remain over the next few days and here is why. I
