The headlines: economic this aura of this for their economy? Details | :00:17. | :00:21. | |
of the high-speed train route are announced. This is the most | :00:21. | :00:25. | |
monumental decision that any government has made since 1827. | :00:25. | :00:30. | |
Some say that the new rate will devastate the countryside. We will | :00:30. | :00:34. | |
have reaction from across the region. | :00:34. | :00:38. | |

After months of speculation, details of the new 32 billion | :01:09. | :01:13. | |
pounds high-speed train link to the NatWest have finally been announced. | :01:13. | :01:17. | |
There will be new stations at Manchester and Manchester Airport | :01:17. | :01:22. | |
and journey times to the capital will be slashed. It is also claimed | :01:22. | :01:26. | |
that integration with the existing network will speed up intercity | :01:26. | :01:30. | |
journey times across the entire region. There is already opposition | :01:30. | :01:38. | |
to the plans under Phil scheme will not be finished until 2030. | :01:38. | :01:43. | |
We now know where the new high- speed rail line will be built. At | :01:43. | :01:46. | |
Birmingham it splits, one line going east up to Sheffield and | :01:46. | :01:54. | |
Leeds, the other enters our region just south of Crewe. There will be | :01:54. | :01:57. | |
a station at Manchester Airport and Manchester Piccadilly. There were | :01:57. | :02:07. | |
:02:07. | :02:09. | ||
also be a new train line at Wigan. Trains at the moment travel at Max | :02:09. | :02:15. | |
novel 125 miles per ever between Manchester and London. The journey | :02:15. | :02:23. | |
time will be cut. In future it will take just 68 minutes. It is | :02:23. | :02:28. | |
estimated that it will bring �1 billion worth of investment into | :02:28. | :02:34. | |
the Manchester economy. Our correspondent is at Piccadilly | :02:34. | :02:42. | |
station. Welcome to plat form four at | :02:42. | :02:49. | |
Piccadilly station. The new high- speed station will be built it | :02:49. | :02:55. | |
right next door, and one will be built at Manchester Airport. Two | :02:55. | :03:00. | |
sections will be built underground at Crewe and Manchester. The new | :03:00. | :03:10. | |
high-speed line will have a new spur on to the existing network. | :03:10. | :03:14. | |
High-speed trains are common in other parts of the world, but in | :03:14. | :03:24. | |
:03:24. | :03:24. | ||
built up Britain, the writ of HS2 has always been controversial. -- | :03:24. | :03:34. | |
:03:34. | :03:36. | ||
the route. The last seven miles into Manchester also be made. | :03:36. | :03:41. | |
us is the most monumental decision since 1827. It completely changes | :03:41. | :03:47. | |
the geography of Great Britain. Their journey time from Manchester | :03:47. | :03:53. | |
to London bobby reduced to 68 minutes. The cost will be �32 | :03:53. | :03:58. | |
million. The journey time will be cut dramatically, but the price for | :03:58. | :04:03. | |
that will be a limited number of stops. Is that going to be a major | :04:03. | :04:08. | |
stumbling block? I think it is OK if it is going to be quick, because | :04:08. | :04:13. | |
two hours is quite a lot. potential for the north-west is | :04:13. | :04:19. | |
wonderful. I do not think he needs to be much quicker. | :04:19. | :04:23. | |
The transport minister said that the new high-speed route would take | :04:23. | :04:27. | |
passengers off existing lines, making more space for extra freight | :04:27. | :04:32. | |
trains. We think it is only right for the north-west that it is their | :04:32. | :04:36. | |
fair share of the economic benefits to come. Spain and France and | :04:36. | :04:45. | |
everywhere else has shown that has been a real club does show -- does | :04:45. | :04:50. | |
help region's struggling economically. We think it will | :04:50. | :04:54. | |
bring a great economic this to the region, it will create jobs, it | :04:54. | :04:57. | |
will connect us as a city much better to many other cities in the | :04:57. | :05:01. | |
country. There is still a long way to go | :05:01. | :05:04. | |
there for the plan gets off the ground, its critics will fight to | :05:04. | :05:11. | |
try and make sure it does not. Consultation will continue until | :05:11. | :05:15. | |
the end of the year, and it is likely to be the 20 thirties before | :05:15. | :05:25. | |
:05:25. | :05:26. | ||
we can see the first train running. High speed is all about breaking | :05:26. | :05:30. | |
the North-South divide, says the government. But many critics say it | :05:30. | :05:36. | |
will be damaging to the countryside. We want to know what you think. It | :05:36. | :05:46. | |
:05:46. | :05:49. | ||
is a huge economic boost our -- is it issued economic this are a | :05:49. | :05:59. | |
:05:59. | :06:09. | ||
The high-speed rail link will cut a swathe through Cheshire from north | :06:09. | :06:13. | |
to south as it makes his way from Greater Manchester to the capital. | :06:13. | :06:18. | |
As Roger set to resort of differing opinion, Cheshire East Council has | :06:18. | :06:21. | |
welcomed the connections, saying it will bring a huge economic boost to | :06:21. | :06:31. | |
:06:31. | :06:33. | ||
Crewe. But it has led to some opposition. | :06:33. | :06:37. | |
Commuters at Crewe railway station, many of them London-bound. A | :06:37. | :06:43. | |
journey that can often take up to two hours. High-speed trains from | :06:43. | :06:48. | |
Crewe more Jong -- will join the line and take just 58 minutes to | :06:48. | :06:53. | |
get to London Euston. As long as it does not affect the surrounding | :06:53. | :07:00. | |
area too much. I think it is essential. Just overran ever, does | :07:00. | :07:10. | |
that pit into -- is that it Crewe into commuting distance of London? | :07:10. | :07:14. | |
With such a big project, the government has sent the Home | :07:14. | :07:23. | |
Secretary to Crewe to spread the message. But further up the line | :07:23. | :07:31. | |
there is less support. The railway is probably worth more than my | :07:31. | :07:41. | |
:07:41. | :07:41. | ||
opinion. A new branch rind words are Wigan. | :07:41. | :07:47. | |
HS2 is now should ensure to cross these people's land. We are not | :07:47. | :07:52. | |
only people who will be affected and we have not been consulted. It | :07:52. | :07:58. | |
is hardly democracy in action. Their rent some of their plans to | :07:58. | :08:03. | |
this lady, who runs a riding school. The noise, all of the work that has | :08:03. | :08:09. | |
got go with it. But will have a big impact on the area. I honestly | :08:09. | :08:12. | |
think if you do get it long term we will probably move. | :08:12. | :08:17. | |
For Cheshire East Council the next stop is a brand new integrated HS2 | :08:17. | :08:23. | |
station in Crewe. High-speed rail has been considered | :08:23. | :08:28. | |
by the government for several years. It is expensive, controversial, and | :08:28. | :08:31. | |
one of the big political considerations has been the impact | :08:31. | :08:34. | |
on the countryside. Bigger questions are still being | :08:34. | :08:38. | |
asked about how it will benefit the economy and if it is value for | :08:38. | :08:45. | |
money. Our reporter has been putting those questions to the | :08:46. | :08:48. | |
Chancellor. The Chancellor was at the drawing | :08:48. | :08:52. | |
board this morning, but high-speed rail now looks a future certainty. | :08:52. | :08:59. | |
It promises a higher speed regional economy. You are coming from abroad, | :08:59. | :09:02. | |
you are a big international business, you might a previously | :09:02. | :09:07. | |
thought that you should locate your head quarters in London, but now | :09:07. | :09:11. | |
you may say that Manchester has great connections, not just to the | :09:11. | :09:16. | |
rest of England but to Europe. It is going to change the geography of | :09:16. | :09:21. | |
British. Right next to Manchester Piccadilly. | :09:21. | :09:24. | |
But the real success is to have secured a second station at the | :09:24. | :09:29. | |
airport. For the Manchester Airport station we had to make a very | :09:29. | :09:33. | |
strong economic case to the Department for Transport, I am | :09:33. | :09:36. | |
delighted that they have accepted the strength of that case. | :09:36. | :09:41. | |
Trains to London from the airport will take just 59 minutes. From | :09:42. | :09:46. | |
Manchester city centre it will take just over one hour, from Liverpool, | :09:46. | :09:50. | |
just over one-and-a-half hours. Business leaders there are | :09:50. | :09:55. | |
concerned. All the major city should be treated fairly and | :09:55. | :09:59. | |
proportionately. This proposal should not be advantage -- should | :09:59. | :10:03. | |
not disadvantage a major hub like Liverpool city region. | :10:03. | :10:08. | |
Five everyone will pay. Estimated at 1,000 pounds per household. Some | :10:08. | :10:12. | |
next-best do not believe it will even succeed in rebalancing the | :10:12. | :10:22. | |
North-says economies. Where high- speed rail links have been | :10:22. | :10:25. | |
introduced, the majority of the benefits have been accrued to the | :10:25. | :10:33. | |
major cities, To Paris, or to Madrid. | :10:33. | :10:37. | |
This is obviously a subject that is of interest to lots of you. Many of | :10:37. | :10:43. | |
you have got in touch to tell us what you think of the plans. Adia | :10:44. | :10:47. | |
in Southport said that the money could be far better spent on their | :10:47. | :10:53. | |
existing lines and trains. Another says that it would be great for the | :10:53. | :10:57. | |
north-west, bringing us a line with London with more jobs and | :10:57. | :11:02. | |
businesses. We will read out some more at the | :11:02. | :11:10. | |
end of the programme. Remember to start your text message worth at | :11:10. | :11:19. | |
NWT. The Chief Constable of Greater | :11:19. | :11:23. | |
Manchester Police says that the forces should be allowed to apply | :11:23. | :11:27. | |
positive discrimination to increase the number of senior officers from | :11:27. | :11:30. | |
non-white backgrounds. Sir Peter Fahy says that there is an | :11:30. | :11:34. | |
embarrassing lack of black and ethnic minority officers at the top | :11:34. | :11:38. | |
of British policing. He admits it is unlikely to happen but feels | :11:38. | :11:46. | |
that changes needed. Policing does need to be representative of their | :11:46. | :11:53. | |
-- of the society it places. But also far gathering intelligence, | :11:53. | :11:56. | |
using undercover officers. It is not just about political | :11:56. | :12:00. | |
correctness our target. A woodchip factory in Merseyside | :12:00. | :12:06. | |
has admitted liability for a fire which bind their great days back in | :12:06. | :12:16. | |
:12:16. | :12:18. | ||
2011. -- which burned there for eight days back in 2011. | :12:18. | :12:22. | |
An ice-cream seller has been given a six-month suspended prison | :12:22. | :12:27. | |
sentence for assaulting his arrival last year. Zeheer Ramzan was also | :12:27. | :12:31. | |
convicted of possessing an offensive weapon and criminal | :12:31. | :12:38. | |
damage. He must also do unpaid work and pay �900 cost. | :12:38. | :12:42. | |
A campaign in memory of a Liverpool school boy to get a fair player | :12:43. | :12:49. | |
latest in all public buildings has reached a significant milestone -- | :12:49. | :12:59. | |
:12:59. | :13:01. | ||
de February eaters. An Olympic cyclist has launched a | :13:01. | :13:11. | |
:13:11. | :13:14. | ||
project in Liverpool. Bad weather has forced the set to | :13:14. | :13:18. | |
be called off for a diver who has gone missing in the Lake District. | :13:18. | :13:23. | |
The man was doing a plant dive with friends but failed to resurface. | :13:23. | :13:29. | |
Specialist equipment has been sent to the up -- sent to the water, | :13:29. | :13:37. | |
because of the depth of the water. Rescuers have worked through the | :13:37. | :13:43. | |
night using sonar to try and find the missing diver. He had gone | :13:43. | :13:46. | |
diving at Wast Water yesterday afternoon. His friends reported 10 | :13:46. | :13:56. | |
:13:56. | :13:59. | ||
missing from the remote spot just after 3pm. Police, fire and rescue, | :13:59. | :14:02. | |
ambulance and mountain rescue teams as well as an RAF helicopter had | :14:02. | :14:12. | |
:14:12. | :14:12. | ||
been involved. Today, the search was scaled down. The alarm was | :14:12. | :14:17. | |
raised as quickly as possible. There is always some danger a risk | :14:17. | :14:21. | |
involved, but at this moment in time we cannot say how or why the | :14:21. | :14:25. | |
driver has not returned to the surface. The bad conditions other | :14:25. | :14:29. | |
set temporarily called off this afternoon almost exactly 24 hours | :14:29. | :14:35. | |
after the man went missing. Wast Water's steps make it popular with | :14:35. | :14:45. | |
:14:45. | :14:45. | ||
divers. But it may now have claimed 75 years ago, thousands of Jewish | :14:45. | :14:48. | |
children were rescued from Nazi- occupied Europe and brought to | :14:48. | :14:52. | |
safety in England. Now their journey, on what was known as the | :14:52. | :14:57. | |
Kindertransport, has been turned into a musical by the composer Carl | :14:57. | :15:01. | |
Davis and the Manchester Halle Choir. Tonight's edition of Inside | :15:01. | :15:05. | |
Out North West meets some of the children. The musical's creation | :15:05. | :15:15. | |
:15:15. | :15:27. | ||
has been an emotional experience 200 boys and girls weighed a | :15:27. | :15:35. | |
greeting to England. They are between the ages of five and 17. | :15:35. | :15:43. | |
came here in 1939 with the Kindertransport. I was 14. My name | :15:43. | :15:50. | |
is Steve Mendelsson, and I came to the UK on the Kindertransport in | :15:50. | :15:56. | |
April 1939, having left my home in Germany. I was very happy to be | :15:56. | :16:01. | |
able to get out of Germany, certainly. But of course, one had | :16:01. | :16:08. | |
to leave one's parents behind. hindsight, we know that most of | :16:08. | :16:12. | |
these parents did not survive and the children never saw them again. | :16:12. | :16:22. | |
:16:22. | :16:26. | ||
The thing about this story is that all these children survived. | :16:26. | :16:30. | |
It is poignant stuff. You can see more of that story on Inside Out | :16:30. | :16:37. | |
North West at 7:30pm. I have seen the whole film, and it is well | :16:37. | :16:43. | |
worth watching. And Tony will be here with Inside Out. And he is | :16:43. | :16:48. | |
here now. What can we start on other than a Oldham's fantastic | :16:48. | :16:53. | |
victory over Liverpool? And as well as pleasing fans, probably kept the | :16:53. | :16:59. | |
manager in a job? I think it has. It was a fantastic 90 minutes. | :16:59. | :17:03. | |
Latics manager Paul Dickov is staying. His job was under threat, | :17:03. | :17:08. | |
but after his side played superbly, the club's chairman told us he will | :17:08. | :17:11. | |
not be leaving Boundary Park for now. How could he, after guiding | :17:11. | :17:15. | |
his team to that victory against Liverpool and a fifth-round tie | :17:15. | :17:20. | |
against Everton? And they arrived more full of hope | :17:20. | :17:29. | |
and belief. They left almost in disbelief. Like nothing ever, ever | :17:29. | :17:39. | |
:17:39. | :17:39. | ||
but I have witnessed. Absolutely fantastic. Just can't believe it. | :17:39. | :17:44. | |
Fantastic, the best victory ever. And this is why. Matt Smith almost | :17:44. | :17:47. | |
gave up on making it as a professional player, turning as a | :17:47. | :17:51. | |
young man to education and a degree in international management. Oldham | :17:51. | :17:56. | |
fans will be glad he did not turn his back on football. He put the | :17:56. | :18:01. | |
Latics ahead after just three minutes and after Luis Suarez had | :18:01. | :18:05. | |
restored order for Liverpool, the big striker grabbed a second to | :18:05. | :18:11. | |
save -- to send Boundary Park wild. Reece Wabara made it 3-1 early in | :18:11. | :18:15. | |
the second half and despite this Joe Allen goal for the Reds, it was | :18:15. | :18:21. | |
Paul Dickov side -- Paul Dickov's side who held on for his superb | :18:21. | :18:29. | |
wind. Fantastic. I can't even describe it. This is why we do it. | :18:29. | :18:34. | |
The fans were amazing. The players were incredible. The tactics were a | :18:34. | :18:43. | |
spot-on. These Oldham fans have not had much to celebrate recently. | :18:43. | :18:48. | |
They certainly do now, after a truly unforgettable match at | :18:48. | :18:55. | |
Boundary Park. Their next opponents, the blues of Everton, will be | :18:55. | :19:03. | |
hoping Boundary Park's FA Cup managed -- Magic has run its course. | :19:03. | :19:06. | |
Brilliant for the fans who have stayed a loyal. Everton are close | :19:06. | :19:12. | |
to a new signing. They have agreed a �7 million fee to sign the Dutch | :19:12. | :19:15. | |
international Leroy Fer from FC Twente. The 23-year-old, nicknamed | :19:15. | :19:20. | |
"the bouncer" because of his strength, has scored 10 goals in 29 | :19:20. | :19:23. | |
appearances for his club. If you are a super league fan, you | :19:23. | :19:27. | |
will not need me to tell you there are just four days to launch of the | :19:27. | :19:31. | |
new season. Our top teams have been limbering up to put their case for | :19:31. | :19:35. | |
a big campaign ahead. But on the night, Inside Out North West | :19:35. | :19:39. | |
revealed that debts among Rugby League's top 5th -- 14 sides could | :19:39. | :19:45. | |
be as high as �68 million. For me, it is the hardest sport in the | :19:45. | :19:49. | |
world. So poorly drafted in a big name to get their season to gear, | :19:49. | :19:55. | |
but it is big debts which were the big talking point when the teams, | :19:56. | :20:03. | |
ready for action. The game could be on the brink of a financial abyss. | :20:04. | :20:08. | |
Or industries go through a tough time. Hopefully, when there is a | :20:08. | :20:13. | |
good product that comes out of the other side, it comes out stronger. | :20:13. | :20:16. | |
We do not want rumours going on about Superleague clubs being in | :20:16. | :20:23. | |
trouble. Times are tough. In any industry, sport or whatever. But | :20:23. | :20:30. | |
fortunately for myself, the club has a reasonable support base. | :20:30. | :20:33. | |
fragility of Superleague is personified by Salford City Reds. | :20:33. | :20:37. | |
Facing a wind-up petition from the taxman, the club now faces a | :20:37. | :20:42. | |
possible new future as a potential superpower. Underrate Kuwaiti born | :20:42. | :20:51. | |
businessman. We would all have been out of a job otherwise. So it is | :20:51. | :20:54. | |
amazing. Salford has a long tradition in the game and it has | :20:54. | :21:04. | |
:21:04. | :21:05. | ||
kept them afloat. I think we are to reliant on this. It is the same for | :21:05. | :21:11. | |
Warrington. Coaches and captains had their say today, but the | :21:11. | :21:15. | |
underlying message was clear - in Superleague, more than ever, it is | :21:15. | :21:20. | |
money that talks. You can see the report that sport - | :21:20. | :21:25. | |
maxed but that concern on Inside Out North West tonight, with me. | :21:25. | :21:30. | |
knew about the problems Salford have had, but it seems to be | :21:30. | :21:36. | |
spreading. So more clubs are doing well, but some have real concerns. | :21:36. | :21:39. | |
Now, Dianne will be here with a full forecast in a couple of | :21:39. | :21:43. | |
minutes, but after all the snow last week, talk has now turned to | :21:43. | :21:47. | |
the problems of strong winds, heavy rain and potential flooding. But | :21:47. | :21:51. | |
not if you live in a remote spot high on the hills above Blackburn. | :21:51. | :21:56. | |
Janice Crewdson has just spent her fourth day snowbound at her home in | :21:56. | :22:05. | |
Tockholes, where some snowdrifts are doggedly refusing to melt. | :22:06. | :22:11. | |
Go on the tops at Tockholes today, the outlook remained stubbornly | :22:11. | :22:14. | |
Arctic for Janice Crewdson and the herd of fallow deer she keeps as | :22:14. | :22:17. | |
pets. She has not been able to get her vehicle through heavy | :22:17. | :22:20. | |
snowdrifts up to the Maine Road since Friday, and supplies are | :22:20. | :22:25. | |
running low. The animal feed is getting a bit low now. Just hoping | :22:25. | :22:29. | |
tomorrow, we can get started with that again. We are getting low on | :22:29. | :22:34. | |
fresh fruit like vegetables, but we have plenty of food in the freezer. | :22:34. | :22:38. | |
My neighbour is planning to get some bits and bobs. This is her | :22:38. | :22:42. | |
route to civilisation, blocked by drifts and attract a vehicle. The | :22:42. | :22:47. | |
hair salon she runs in Blackburn has had to remain closed. I have | :22:47. | :22:51. | |
done some baking, got on top of my cleaning and ironing, stuff hire | :22:51. | :22:55. | |
have been able to do for a day or two. I am getting a bit of cabin | :22:55. | :23:01. | |
fever now, a bit fed up. Hopefully, I will get to work tomorrow. There | :23:01. | :23:05. | |
were no home comforts for those trapped on the M6 in Lancashire for | :23:05. | :23:09. | |
hours on Friday night and Saturday morning, when a foot of snow | :23:09. | :23:13. | |
snarled up traffic between junctions 25 and 27. It is 2 | :23:13. | :23:17. | |
o'clock in the morning on the middle of the M6 motorway, and as | :23:17. | :23:23. | |
you can see probably behind me, we have ground to a standstill. Now to | :23:23. | :23:26. | |
rescue teams called in to help say conditions there were the worst | :23:26. | :23:31. | |
they had seen for 30 years. BBC Radio Lancashire stayed on air | :23:31. | :23:35. | |
throughout the night. People were worried about running out of fuel. | :23:35. | :23:38. | |
People were worried about things like eating and other basic human | :23:38. | :23:46. | |
needs. Some were expecting to spend a night in the car. They might not | :23:46. | :23:51. | |
have been prepared. Back on the tops, the hope is that the drifts | :23:51. | :23:56. | |
will have finally disappeared by tomorrow. | :23:56. | :24:00. | |
It did not take long to wash away at my house. The snowmen are all | :24:00. | :24:10. | |
:24:10. | :24:14. | ||
We have had lots of High Speed 2 e- mails. First, the weather. | :24:14. | :24:18. | |
The good news is, there is no snow forecast as we head through this | :24:18. | :24:23. | |
week. But what we have could cause problems. We will definitely see a | :24:23. | :24:28. | |
windy week, and there will be rain at times. It was heavy enough | :24:28. | :24:33. | |
through the day today. Through the next 24 hours, look at this warm | :24:33. | :24:38. | |
plume of air that comes towards us. I think the snowdrifts will be gone | :24:38. | :24:43. | |
tomorrow, because temperatures shoot up to 13 Celsius. After that, | :24:43. | :24:48. | |
we cool back down again. By the end of the week, precipitation could be | :24:48. | :24:53. | |
wintry over the tops. Sleet will be in the forecast towards the tail- | :24:53. | :24:58. | |
end of the week, but nothing substantial in the way of snow. | :24:58. | :25:02. | |
This big band of rain moved towards us today. Tomorrow, we will have | :25:02. | :25:06. | |
another one that will last for a good portion of the day. Tomorrow | :25:06. | :25:12. | |
is a much wetter picture. Right now, we have showers still around, and | :25:12. | :25:17. | |
they could continue for a few hours. But overnight, it becomes dry just | :25:17. | :25:22. | |
about everywhere. In the morning, the cloud cover gradually begins to | :25:22. | :25:27. | |
break up. The wind prevents the temperatures from falling too low. | :25:27. | :25:36. | |
Today on the Isle of Man, winds hit 52 mph. By the tail-end of tomorrow, | :25:36. | :25:40. | |
we will see that all over again. That is keeping temperatures up | :25:40. | :25:50. | |
tonight. Tomorrow morning, the sun is up just before 8 o'clock. But it | :25:50. | :25:54. | |
will not last for long, because the cloud cover thickens and the next | :25:54. | :25:58. | |
area of rain creeps towards us. This area of rain will be with us | :25:58. | :26:02. | |
for a huge portion of the day, probably lingering until 4 o'clock | :26:02. | :26:08. | |
in many places. Even then, it is followed by some showers. And it | :26:08. | :26:15. | |
will be windy. But look at those numbers. It is mild just for one | :26:15. | :26:23. | |
Thank you for your comments about High Speed 2. Geoff says the one | :26:23. | :26:28. | |
hour decrease in the train time will benefit very few people. | :26:28. | :26:33. | |
Improve the present system at less cost. Cathy says, I think it is a | :26:33. | :26:36. | |
fantastic opportunity for the north-west to prosper. Other | :26:36. | :26:39. | |
countries have these high-speed links, and we should support this | :26:39. | :26:44. | |
for the future of job opportunities for the younger generation. Peter | :26:44. | :26:51. | |
says, stop bringing the new -- at the high-speed link will cut | :26:51. | :27:00. | |
liveable off economically. Another fierce as the region's economy will | :27:00. | :27:04. | |
be secured for years. Craig in Blackpool says the Government | :27:04. | :27:09. | |
should sort out what we already have. I am fed up of standing all | :27:09. | :27:15. | |
the way home and being cramped. anonymous one says, wow, the best | :27:15. | :27:21. | |
thing for the north-west since the steam engine. Car from Bolton says | :27:21. | :27:27. | |
a come-on, people, this is called progress and it represents | :27:27. | :27:29. | |
investment in National Infrastructure. We had a huge | :27:29. | :27:33. |
