In the North West - is it the great train robbery. | :00:24. | :00:25. | |
Why can a journey to London cost three times more | :00:26. | :00:28. | |
And the two sides of this dog - police says he's dangerous - | :00:29. | :00:32. | |
but today he was saved from being put down | :00:33. | :00:40. | |
It is signalling interest from around the world. One man's model | :00:41. | :00:51. | |
train collection on track to raise thousands of pounds for charity. And | :00:52. | :00:56. | |
do you want to know the secret of a long marriage? This couple have been | :00:57. | :01:00. | |
together for more than 70 years. If he had a night out, she couldn't | :01:01. | :01:08. | |
have won, she looked after the children. What is your secret? | :01:09. | :01:12. | |
LAUGHTER. An MP has accused Virgin Trains | :01:13. | :01:19. | |
of milking the system - by charging passengers more | :01:20. | :01:21. | |
to travel a shorter A ticket to London from Preston can | :01:22. | :01:23. | |
cost three times more than it does from Lancaster - | :01:24. | :01:28. | |
which is 20 miles further north. The firm says that's because more | :01:29. | :01:30. | |
commuters use that line. But the Fylde MP Mark | :01:31. | :01:32. | |
Menzies says the system Here's our Transport | :01:33. | :01:34. | |
Correspondent Judy Hobson. Many passengers here | :01:35. | :01:37. | |
in Preston say they're angry Overcrowded trains and price | :01:38. | :01:43. | |
are a common problem For example, Last thursday | :01:44. | :01:48. | |
a ticket on the 07.58 from Preston to London Euston cost | :01:49. | :02:11. | |
?145 if they'd boarded at Lancaster - 20 miles further away - | :02:12. | :02:17. | |
it would have cost just ?46.60. It's | :02:18. | :02:20. | |
the same train so what's going on? It seems you're being charged | :02:21. | :02:27. | |
depending on what sort of passenger you are: In a statement the rail | :02:28. | :02:30. | |
company said: " Virgin Trains has for many years relaxed peak | :02:31. | :02:33. | |
restrictions on some of its longer distance routes where we have | :02:34. | :02:36. | |
more leisure travellers. That's not the case at Preston | :02:37. | :02:38. | |
where there are a lot of business travellers who need to travel | :02:39. | :02:41. | |
to and from London at peak times." One passenger told his MP he had | :02:42. | :02:44. | |
bought his tickets from Lancaster but boarded one stop LATER | :02:45. | :02:47. | |
at Preston - and was told to pay an extra ?100 | :02:48. | :02:49. | |
or face being posecuted. The whole thing is just mad, and | :02:50. | :02:54. | |
they need to look at the pricing structure and stop ripping people | :02:55. | :02:58. | |
off because this is what this is about. It is not about managing | :02:59. | :03:02. | |
leisure travel or business travel, these are the same people getting on | :03:03. | :03:07. | |
the same train at the same time. There are times I can travel cheaper | :03:08. | :03:19. | |
from Glasgow to Euston than from Preston to Euston. You can be next | :03:20. | :03:23. | |
to someone who has paid ?20 lest for the same journey. It is very unfair. | :03:24. | :03:29. | |
It is totally wrong. I live in Macclesfield and the fares are | :03:30. | :03:33. | |
higher than just down the line in Stoke-on-Trent. The journey should | :03:34. | :03:36. | |
be by the distance -- judged by the distance travelled. | :03:37. | :03:41. | |
Virgin Trains says passengers can get cheaper tickets from Preston | :03:42. | :03:46. | |
Earlier I spoke to the railway expert Tony Miles - | :03:47. | :03:52. | |
I asked him how common this type of charging is? | :03:53. | :03:58. | |
This is what they call yield management is, the fares are to do | :03:59. | :04:06. | |
with how many people want to travel at what times of day. When British | :04:07. | :04:10. | |
rail first discovered it could use computers to price individual | :04:11. | :04:12. | |
journeys, I remembered this happening, so it is been something | :04:13. | :04:14. | |
that has been done for some time. Given that travellers feel like they | :04:15. | :04:22. | |
are being ripped off, why is nothing being done to address it? Because | :04:23. | :04:25. | |
some people are getting good value out of it, it just depends when you | :04:26. | :04:30. | |
are travelling and from where. If you look even further ahead, the | :04:31. | :04:36. | |
situation reverses. It is dependent on booking and picking the right | :04:37. | :04:41. | |
moment to get the best value. People travelling further get very good | :04:42. | :04:50. | |
value for money. If you leave London tomorrow at almost five o'clock | :04:51. | :04:53. | |
heading for Lancaster, it will cost you almost ?100 less than in | :04:54. | :04:57. | |
Preston, but you're not allowed to get off in Preston because the train | :04:58. | :05:05. | |
company says that is fraud. That is correct if they are advance purchase | :05:06. | :05:09. | |
tickets, there are specific regulations on them. Again, those | :05:10. | :05:12. | |
have been around for more than 30 years. It is just the way the train | :05:13. | :05:18. | |
companies work, selling capacity and appreciating that some people with | :05:19. | :05:22. | |
longer journeys perhaps are more reluctant to choose the train | :05:23. | :05:28. | |
sometimes, Scotland may look at airlines as an option. That is just | :05:29. | :05:35. | |
the way selling tickets has gone, it is the same with the airlines. I'm | :05:36. | :05:39. | |
going to Ireland for ?10 next week, but a I booked the ticket a day | :05:40. | :05:44. | |
before I would be over 100. Some people have split a journey into | :05:45. | :05:48. | |
separate segments and by different tickets to build up the journey to | :05:49. | :05:54. | |
make it cheaper. Is that legal? Yes, it is legal, there are some rules | :05:55. | :05:58. | |
like the train has to stop at the station where the check tickets go | :05:59. | :06:05. | |
from one to another. There are various websites will help you find | :06:06. | :06:11. | |
that. You can tap into a journey that is not selling well, and this | :06:12. | :06:16. | |
is completely legal, and if you can find a way to do it, that is how to | :06:17. | :06:21. | |
get value for money. Thank you very much. A few of you talking about | :06:22. | :06:26. | |
this on the Facebook page. He was a highwayman. I get the | :06:27. | :07:09. | |
point. Peter Elliott has said cheers, my next ticket will be from | :07:10. | :07:13. | |
Lancaster! So he has cottoned on. A dog dubbed dangerous and sentenced | :07:14. | :07:16. | |
to death has been given a reprieve. Campaigners fighting | :07:17. | :07:19. | |
to save Butch, a ten-year-old Staffordshire Bull Terrier, | :07:20. | :07:21. | |
have won a judicial Butch had been trapped with his dead | :07:22. | :07:22. | |
owner inside their home By the time police found them | :07:23. | :07:26. | |
there were bite marks on the body. A court ordered his destruction - | :07:27. | :07:30. | |
but now a judge says Here's our Chief | :07:31. | :07:33. | |
Reporter, Dave Guest. different sides to the nature | :07:34. | :07:35. | |
of of the same dog. different sides to the | :07:36. | :07:40. | |
nature of the same dog. This one was filmed | :07:41. | :07:43. | |
by Merseyside Police. And this persuaded them that Butch, | :07:44. | :07:44. | |
the Staffordshire Bull Terrier was This one was made by the charity | :07:45. | :07:47. | |
Senior Staffy Club - the expert featured in it concluded | :07:48. | :08:01. | |
Butch posed no threat He is a friendly dog, we knew we | :08:02. | :08:17. | |
could find him a home, and that is what we were in the process of | :08:18. | :08:19. | |
doing. Last year a judge sitting | :08:20. | :08:20. | |
at Liverpool Magistrates' Court decided the police were right | :08:21. | :08:22. | |
and Butch should be put down. He'd been seized after being | :08:23. | :08:25. | |
recovered from a property His owner had died - | :08:26. | :08:27. | |
the precise cause of his death remains unknown - | :08:28. | :08:30. | |
and Butch remained trapped When he was found, there | :08:31. | :08:32. | |
were bite marks on his body. His owner, who'd been ill for some | :08:33. | :08:42. | |
time, had been in the process of signing him over to the charity | :08:43. | :08:45. | |
when he died. On the day we went affection to get | :08:46. | :08:54. | |
his vaccination so he could come here was the day we could not get a | :08:55. | :08:58. | |
reply from his owner, and then it was four days later unfortunately | :08:59. | :09:09. | |
that the sad facts were unknown. -- then and now. | :09:10. | :09:15. | |
Butch has remained in police | :09:16. | :09:16. | |
Today, at a court in Manchester, the charity asked a judge to allow | :09:17. | :09:21. | |
The judge said there were merits in both arguments. Merseyside Police | :09:22. | :09:47. | |
said the Chief Constable has noted the court's decision. | :09:48. | :09:50. | |
A bagpipe-playing busker has been jailed for four months - | :09:51. | :09:52. | |
after duping people in Liverpool into thinking he was collecting | :09:53. | :09:55. | |
The court heard Angus Carpenter played with a Hillsborough Justice | :09:56. | :09:58. | |
Campaign banner on his bagpipes the day before the 26th | :09:59. | :10:01. | |
The 62-year-old claimed it had been a tribute, | :10:02. | :10:05. | |
but the judge said he'd committed a mean-spirited crime. | :10:06. | :10:11. | |
A man's been arrested after a drone was seen | :10:12. | :10:13. | |
dropping a banned item into Walton Prison in Liverpool. | :10:14. | :10:15. | |
Police say it was spotted above the jail on Friday. | :10:16. | :10:17. | |
It's alleged the drone had an object attached - | :10:18. | :10:21. | |
A 44-year-old man has been released on bail. | :10:22. | :10:26. | |
Police investigating the death of 15-year-old Megan Lee - | :10:27. | :10:28. | |
who had an allergic reaction after eating a takeway meal - | :10:29. | :10:31. | |
have released two men they were questioning | :10:32. | :10:32. | |
Megan - from Oswaldtwistle in Lancashire - died on New Year's Day. | :10:33. | :10:40. | |
The two men, who were arrested on suspicion of involuntary | :10:41. | :10:44. | |

A father and son forced a couple to work for ?4 a day and made them | :10:49. | :10:52. | |
live in dirty and squalid conditions in outbuildings - | :10:53. | :10:54. | |
Mohammed Riaz and Khuram Riaz from Nelson are charged | :10:55. | :10:59. | |
with an offence under the modern slavery act. | :11:00. | :11:02. | |
Burnley Crown Court was told the complainants were threatened | :11:03. | :11:04. | |
with abuse and violence if they didn't work long hours. | :11:05. | :11:09. | |
Our reporter Yunus Mulla was in court. | :11:10. | :11:14. | |
Concerns were raised in April 2015 when police arrived in a house in | :11:15. | :11:34. | |
Nelson, finding a couple sweeping the floor, chopping wood. They were | :11:35. | :11:39. | |
living in an outbuilding described as a shack in court, it was filthy, | :11:40. | :11:44. | |
damp and mouldy. There was a makeshift bathroom in a nearby shed, | :11:45. | :11:51. | |
whether toilet bowl in it, which was also foul smelling. As a result, | :11:52. | :11:56. | |
Mohammed Riaz, 63, and from Nelson, faces two counts of requiring the | :11:57. | :12:04. | |
couple to perform compulsory labour. His son, 27, faces the same two | :12:05. | :12:12. | |
counts. The dates vary but it is over a period between December 2014 | :12:13. | :12:20. | |
and April 2015. The prosecution opened its case today. What did they | :12:21. | :12:25. | |
say? The prosecution say that the couple who are unemployed had | :12:26. | :12:31. | |
nowhere to live, and their personal circumstances effectively put them | :12:32. | :12:34. | |
into the clutches of the defendants. They had to carry out paid work, | :12:35. | :12:45. | |
which earned them around ?4 a day, at the property and the family | :12:46. | :12:47. | |
business. They were paid very little, they were given little food, | :12:48. | :12:55. | |
and in return were given this promise inhumane conditions. Today, | :12:56. | :12:57. | |
the prosecution said, you may wonder why they didn't escape from the | :12:58. | :13:02. | |
clutches of the two defendants. Bearing in mind the psychological | :13:03. | :13:06. | |
trap, the invisible handcuffs, if you like. Have the defendants | :13:07. | :13:17. | |
offered an explanation? The defendants say they did not know | :13:18. | :13:21. | |
each other. The defendants say these were acts of goodwill they were | :13:22. | :13:25. | |
giving the couple, somewhere to live, some food at times, but they | :13:26. | :13:29. | |
denied forcing them to do everything, they deny the charges. | :13:30. | :13:32. | |
Thank you very much indeed. The northbound carriageway - | :13:33. | :13:40. | |

had to be closed during this Work to repair the damaged | :13:45. | :13:47. | |
carriageway took place this afternoon - and it reopened fully | :13:48. | :13:50. | |
at around four o'clock. The Liverpool musician | :13:51. | :13:53. | |
Rebecca Ferguson has said She will not perform at the | :13:54. | :13:54. | |
inauguration of President-elect Donald Trump - | :13:55. | :14:03. | |
because she wasn't comfortable with the song choice | :14:04. | :14:05. | |
made on her behalf. She had previously said she'd only | :14:06. | :14:07. | |
accept the invitation if she could sing a protest song | :14:08. | :14:09. | |

which is being prepared for drilling Protestors say they're planning | :14:34. | :14:36. | |
daily protests in Little Plumpton. The energy company Cuadrilla says | :14:37. | :14:39. | |
it's working with the police - to keep the area safe and ensure | :14:40. | :14:42. | |
the main road isn't blocked. Day five at the construction site | :14:43. | :14:45. | |
at Preston New Road in Fylde... Just another day for protestors | :14:46. | :14:51. | |
who say they want to delay fracking We have a human right to object to | :14:52. | :15:03. | |
this but we do not want to disrupt traffic or the areas, and this is a | :15:04. | :15:07. | |
borough fear for ambulances between major hospitals. There is a work | :15:08. | :15:12. | |
whenever they are, and we have ascertained that we may slow walk | :15:13. | :15:15. | |
the trucks for the distance here, which is 15 minutes per truck, which | :15:16. | :15:22. | |
does not sound a lot, but to an investor that sounds like people are | :15:23. | :15:26. | |
not going away and they will not allow this to happen and challenged. | :15:27. | :15:33. | |
-- unchallenged. Yesterday, protestors | :15:34. | :15:37. | |
claimed they were put Cuadrilla say they were | :15:38. | :15:39. | |
in the works area. They have got to build a roadway in, | :15:40. | :16:09. | |
so there is a considerable time. Also a lot of protests are happening | :16:10. | :16:19. | |
in Bolton, so rather haven't got so many here, other groups will try to | :16:20. | :16:20. | |
stop them leaving their sites. Protestors say they'll be | :16:21. | :16:25. | |
at the site for as long as it takes. Will Wayne Rooney surpass Bobby | :16:26. | :16:40. | |
Charlton to become the highest goal-scorer? And this couple tell us | :16:41. | :16:46. | |
their secret to manage. A collection auctioneers have | :16:47. | :17:07. | |
described as one of the rarest - and most incredible - | :17:08. | :17:09. | |
they've ever seen. It's being sold off over | :17:10. | :17:11. | |
the next two days in Beeston For a model train enthusiast this is | :17:12. | :17:15. | |
paradise. Rare pieces from around the world - | :17:16. | :17:25. | |
America, Italy, Switzerland. It's a collection 35 | :17:26. | :17:27. | |
years in the making. The work of this man - | :17:28. | :17:30. | |
Oldham solicitor and auctioneers couldn't | :17:31. | :17:32. | |
believe their eyes. It was the quantity of games that | :17:33. | :17:52. | |
there were. There were rooms with boxes and boxes of trains, and it | :17:53. | :17:55. | |
was mind blowing. It is the most amazing collection I have seen by a | :17:56. | :17:59. | |
long way. Virtually all of them were in original boxes and have never | :18:00. | :18:02. | |
been used, so they are in pristine condition. Anthony Adler was | :18:03. | :18:08. | |
inspired to start collecting while sheltering from the rain outside a | :18:09. | :18:14. | |
model train shop. What began as a hobby became an obsession. | :18:15. | :18:16. | |
So great was Mr Adler's collection, he had a separate house for it. | :18:17. | :18:21. | |
Latrines were all at Fleetwood, and he was at Oldham. I have never seen | :18:22. | :18:32. | |
anything like it. -- the trains. It is on track to raise around ?150,000 | :18:33. | :18:38. | |
for charity. I came to see this today, it is fantastic. I would have | :18:39. | :18:42. | |
loved to have met him. This is just mind blowing. When I was younger and | :18:43. | :18:48. | |
as a train spotter, this was the bees knees to see. When I saw | :18:49. | :19:12. | |
this I was guided. As I could afford one, that would be what I would buy. | :19:13. | :19:25. | |
I'm from London, and the wife won't be watching this, at least she won't | :19:26. | :19:31. | |
know how much I will send! I was wondering if that was large train, | :19:32. | :19:35. | |
but I'm not sure? I didn't want to say in case I wrong! | :19:36. | :19:45. | |
There'll be a big crowd at Old Trafford this evening | :19:46. | :19:48. | |
as Manchester United play Hull City in the first leg of their | :19:49. | :19:50. | |
Jose Mourinho's acknowledged his team's got an important | :19:51. | :19:53. | |
Premier League game against Liverpool at the weekend - | :19:54. | :19:55. | |
but he says he's taking the EFL Cup seriously. | :19:56. | :19:58. | |
Mark Edwardson's at Old Trafford for us. | :19:59. | :19:59. | |
So, he's likely to play a strong side is he? | :20:00. | :20:02. | |
Yes, he is. He's putting out a strong side because ahead he has | :20:03. | :20:06. | |
another tantalising tie, the possibility of a tantalising game | :20:07. | :20:10. | |
against Liverpool possibly in the football league final next month at | :20:11. | :20:14. | |
Wembley because Liverpool are in the other semifinal against Southampton. | :20:15. | :20:18. | |
If they get to it could be a Manchester United and Liverpool | :20:19. | :20:24. | |
final at Wembley. What a tantalising thought for anyone, including Jose | :20:25. | :20:27. | |
Mourinho. Tonight he has promised to put out a very strong team. This is | :20:28. | :20:33. | |
in the EFL semifinal cup against Hull. United have been on something | :20:34. | :20:41. | |
of a winning streak. Their last defeat was against thin Apache in | :20:42. | :20:49. | |
the Europa League, back in the beginning of November. I have asked | :20:50. | :20:52. | |
Manchester United fans what they think of the Portuguese progress. I | :20:53. | :21:09. | |
think he has been a great manager but I think they will do really well | :21:10. | :21:25. | |
here. They have won six games in a row, so hopefully they will wind | :21:26. | :21:27. | |
tonight. I think he is performing well after putting grounders. It | :21:28. | :21:33. | |
could be a big night for Wayne Rooney. Yes, it could indeed because | :21:34. | :21:37. | |
all eyes will be on him if he plays tonight because at the weekend when | :21:38. | :21:40. | |
and that he equalled Sir Bobby Charlton's record of 249 goals for | :21:41. | :21:42. | |
Manchester United, cheered on by the great man himself. It is simply a | :21:43. | :21:45. | |
matter of when, not if he breaks his record. Could it be tonight? I am | :21:46. | :21:48. | |
sure both of them are hoping it will. If you cannot get here for the | :21:49. | :21:50. | |
match tonight, is commentary on BBC radio five live, with kick-off at | :21:51. | :21:54. | |
eight o'clock. Do you think Sir Bobby is secretly thinking, do not | :21:55. | :21:57. | |
do it. It is going to happen. And | :21:58. | :22:11. | |
apparently it was, the Mallard trained. | :22:12. | :22:23. | |
What's the secret of a long and successful marriage? | :22:24. | :22:26. | |
If anybody should know, it's Trudy and Barclay Patoir from Manchester. | :22:27. | :22:28. | |
They've been together for more than seventy years. | :22:29. | :22:30. | |
They met when they worked together making Lancaster Bombers in | :22:31. | :22:33. | |
Merseyside during the Second World War. | :22:34. | :22:34. | |
But, as Stuart Flinders reports, it's not all been plain sailing. | :22:35. | :22:37. | |
Barclay was an apprentice engineer in British Guyana. | :22:38. | :22:43. | |
He's there on the bottom right joining a Carribean contingent | :22:44. | :22:46. | |
heading to England at the height of World War Two. | :22:47. | :22:48. | |
Here he is on the left, ready to join the war effort. | :22:49. | :22:51. | |
In 1942, he found himself in Liverpool. | :22:52. | :22:53. | |
What did you think of Liverpool when you first came here? It was freezing | :22:54. | :23:03. | |
cold. And the snow was an eye-opener. Had you ever seen it | :23:04. | :23:05. | |
before? Only in pictures. Barclay was put to work | :23:06. | :23:09. | |
making Lancaster Bombers Many people worked night and day to | :23:10. | :23:22. | |
produce these planes for Bomber Command. | :23:23. | :23:26. | |
His assistant on the production line was Trudy. | :23:27. | :23:40. | |
Barclay and Trudy took a shine to each other. | :23:41. | :23:42. | |
And a visit to the Empire Theatre to see star singer | :23:43. | :23:45. | |
Even now, Trudy is almost tearful when she remembers their song. | :23:46. | :26:14. | |
Turning much colder over the next couple of days this could kick in | :26:15. | :26:19. | |
from midnight tonight, we have a net office warning that the wind will be | :26:20. | :26:22. | |
very strong. The weather itself, patchy cloud, rain here and there, | :26:23. | :26:25. | |
not too much in the way of rain, some breaks in the cloud cover, but | :26:26. | :26:28. | |
the wind will be picking up and it could be touching even 60 mph by the | :26:29. | :26:34. | |
morning. Many down the Pennines, the top of the macro 62. This means that | :26:35. | :26:43. | |
damages will not be too low. But remember through the morning, and | :26:44. | :26:48. | |
again while the triangles are mainly around Pennine areas, not | :26:49. | :26:51. | |
exclusively so, it will be windy absolutely everywhere. In between | :26:52. | :26:57. | |
the showers there will be spelt of decent sunshine around, but the | :26:58. | :26:59. | |
breeze is the main feature all the way through the day. As we go | :27:00. | :27:05. | |
through the day, the number on the chart will say 7 degrees, but | :27:06. | :27:08. | |
temperatures will fall through the afternoon. Wintry showers will | :27:09. | :27:14. | |
continue through tomorrow night as the cold weather starts to bite. A | :27:15. | :27:19. | |
Met Office warning for snow on Thursday. There is a line of whether | :27:20. | :27:24. | |
just to the south of us which could cause all sorts of problems, so you | :27:25. | :27:27. | |
do has to watch the forecast over the next 12 hours. | :27:28. | :27:34. | |
We have a computer here which is going to kick, Tech. We were close. | :27:35. | :27:40. | |
And you were in good happening. Have a lovely evening. Goodbye. | :27:41. | :28:24. | |
It's back... Let's get ready to grumble. ..with more belligerence... | :28:25. | :28:27. | |
Can you imagine anything more diabolical? ..moaning... | :28:28. | :28:30. | |
..and nonsensical items... Don't send me a curve-ball, Nigel. | :28:31. | :28:37. | |
Every choice you've ever made, every path you've ever taken, | :28:38. | :28:48. | |
the man you are today is your memory of Eurus. | :28:49. | :28:52. |
