:01:45. > :01:51.Bone cancer is typically slow-growing, so if we are looking

:05:14. > :05:17.Right now, lambing is in full swing and, with a large amount of British

:05:37. > :05:48.Yes, we have a lot of healthy lambs and plenty of them.
:05:49. > :05:50.But soon, this regular date in the farming calendar will,
:05:51. > :05:53.of course, be taking place in a world outside the EU.
:05:54. > :05:56.In the short-term, Brexit has been good for farmers who want to export
:05:57. > :05:59.lambs to the Continent because a weaker pound
:06:00. > :06:02.means that this little fellow is worth ?10,
:06:03. > :06:08.And we do export a lot of lamb and sheep meat -
:06:09. > :06:12.42,000 tonnes a year to France alone.

:06:33. > :06:37.I have talked to the farmers over there, they made
:06:38. > :06:41.I think they feel a little bit uncertain about the Brexit
:06:42. > :06:43.negotiations at the moment, but hopefully our ministers,
:06:44. > :06:48.our politicians, will negotiate the right deal for us.
:06:49. > :06:51.For now, Brexit is having a positive impact on lamb prices.
:06:52. > :06:53.But longer term, the financial future of lambing is bound

:07:16. > :07:18.Dr Beeching's plans four years earlier in 1963.
:07:19. > :07:20.And, half a century on, a share scheme to raise money

:07:24. > :07:25.Our reporter Joanne Writtle has been at Bridgnorth Station.

:07:45. > :07:49.We dropped slowly down the bank towards the station,
:07:50. > :07:52.and all I could see was a mass of people of all ages
:07:53. > :07:57.As we drove in, they cheered and clapped and applauded us.
:07:58. > :08:08.Volunteers raised ?25,000 to buy and restore 6.5 miles of neglected
:08:09. > :08:13.track from Bridgnorth to Hampton Loade.
:08:14. > :08:17.And today steam trains run along 16 miles to Kidderminster, attracting
:08:18. > :08:23.Half a century on, and fund-raising still goes on.
:08:24. > :08:27.In fact, they have just sold ?1 million of shares
:08:28. > :08:31.towards a revamped and an extension of facilities here in Bridgnorth.
:08:32. > :08:37.But they still need to raise another ?1.5 million.
:08:38. > :08:40.Dean Parkin is one of nine apprentices here, recruited due

:08:46. > :08:48.I come from Cornwall, so a little way away.
:08:49. > :08:51.I come up here because it is so specialised, and what I enjoy
:08:52. > :08:53.doing, there's not many places that do this amount
:08:54. > :08:56.of engineering on steam engines, so it is what brought
:08:57. > :09:01.me here because I am passionate about it.
:09:02. > :09:05.Dean is also among 1700 volunteers who keep
:09:06. > :09:11.In fact, many work here for decades, charmed

:10:01. > :10:04.glorious sunshine, but it did not last for too long and there is a
:10:05. > :10:09.keen breeze. This is how the end of the day, with rain. That rain will
:10:10. > :10:13.continue to night and into tomorrow, but eventually we will start to see
:10:14. > :10:17.things brightening up. This is where we are at the moment. We have got
:10:18. > :10:22.these showers rattling through, and then this area of rain will push in.
:10:23. > :10:25.Those showers through tonight, and this is the more precise area of
:10:26. > :10:32.frame with us through tomorrow. But lots of rye whether further south
:10:33. > :10:39.and east -- dry weather. Temperatures listing ever so
:10:40. > :10:43.slightly. Low pressure sitting over the top of us, it is a complicated
:10:44. > :10:49.weather system. It will wrap back around us and be with us again on
:10:50. > :10:52.Thursday. On the back of it, some intense downpours to come, perhaps
:10:53. > :10:59.some hail, but the wind has dropped so some benefit. More information on

:11:05. > :11:17.Heavy rain, snow and ice are all in the forecast once again. It was
:11:18. > :11:18.quite a wintry scene today, especially in
