:03:20. > :03:22.assaults has fallen since the year 2,000. They say they are trying to

:04:02. > :04:07.believe that this is all dying to staff cuts and reforms. They said
:04:08. > :04:12.they had seen the increase in the number of serious assaults on their
:04:13. > :04:16.members, and Eric are `` there are concerns that the kid the other

:04:39. > :04:41.highlight the dangers of jumping the lights at level crossings in
:04:42. > :04:45.Crawley, there was an incident almost every week in the last year
:04:46. > :04:49.where people put their lives at risk trying to cross as the barriers were
:04:50. > :04:52.coming down. The town's MP has branded their behaviour as stupid.
:04:53. > :04:55.Mark Sanders reports. In a moment: this motorist was convicted of
:04:56. > :05:01.dangerous driving after swerving around the barriers at this level
:05:02. > :05:05.crossing in Crawley. No new evidence of people disregarding their own
:05:06. > :05:10.safety for the sake of a short wait. Four people have died here in recent
:05:11. > :05:16.years. The emergency services say this level crossing is one of the
:05:17. > :05:19.worst in Sussex for a miss use with pedestrians and motorists splitting
:05:20. > :05:23.their lives in danger. British transport police said that in the
:05:24. > :05:27.last 12 months 50 offences were committed by people jumping the
:05:28. > :05:32.lights at the two level crossings in the time. Most were at this one.
:05:33. > :05:36.People trying to cross when the gates are coming down and the lights
:05:37. > :05:40.have been flashing, it is stupidity. It is unfair, not only to
:05:41. > :05:47.themselves, but the emergency services, the train drivers and
:05:48. > :05:54.everyone else. This is another example of recklessness at one of
:05:55. > :06:00.the crossings. Look what the trap doors behind this speaker. Some
:06:01. > :06:11.people do try to go when the barrier is going down. There is no bridge.
:06:12. > :06:18.At the Ridge would stop a lot of pedestrians trying to jump it. They
:06:19. > :06:26.would rather jump the lights rather than wait the two minutes it takes.
:06:27. > :06:34.The emphasis is on warning people not to chant their luck.
:06:35. > :06:37.50 years on from the opening of the Dartford Tunnel, we look at the
:06:38. > :06:50.impact of the busiest crossing point in the country.
:06:51. > :06:56.Well, he helped raise more than ?46 million last year and now Pudsey is
:06:57. > :06:59.back for this year's Children in Need. It's all about fundraising
:07:00. > :07:02.heroes, people who have gone above and beyond to raise money for
:07:03. > :07:06.charities that help young people throughout the UK. Here in the South
:07:07. > :07:09.East, we're hosting a party at the Bluebell Railway in West Sussex.
:07:10. > :07:20.Natalie Graham is there now. Natalie, there is a special arrival
:07:21. > :07:25.expected at any moment? There is a very special arrival in
:07:26. > :07:30.deed coming to the station, the Pudsey Express. There will be 130
:07:31. > :07:35.passengers on board, fundraising heroes. We will have a word with
:07:36. > :07:41.them when they get here. Steve has the job of bringing them in. I am
:07:42. > :07:45.going to ring the bell once because the train is coming into platform
:07:46. > :07:54.one. That warns the station staff to get ready to take care of it. Let's
:07:55. > :07:57.see what is happening out on the platform. We should have some people
:07:58. > :08:01.who have been raising money for Children in Need today. You have
:08:02. > :08:07.been working in Sussex, baking cakes? Yes, we are from East Sussex
:08:08. > :08:11.county council and we have been baking cakes and had a rabble. They
:08:12. > :08:23.are apparently cakes, but with a twist. I made Patsy hosts. ``
:08:24. > :08:30.ghosts. A lot of cakes have been baked. It will be seeing a lot more
:08:31. > :08:33.people later the programme. Roy is the chairman of the Bluebell
:08:34. > :08:37.Railway, so thank you very much for letting us take over your station
:08:38. > :08:42.and your track today. It is an important year for you, isn't it?
:08:43. > :08:50.After 30 years we achieved our goal of getting back to where we are now.
:08:51. > :08:57.The British real close this line in 1955. He got it running pretty
:08:58. > :09:06.quickly. They started restoring the line. All the way through ) you have
:09:07. > :09:10.been waiting to get the line to East Grinstead. That's right. We couldn't
:09:11. > :09:16.do it all, we have to do it in stages. We finally got back in
:09:17. > :09:22.March, after 30 years of hard work. It has been a huge success. It has
:09:23. > :09:26.been, thank you. They have had a lot more passengers
:09:27. > :10:06.I like the noise and the fire. And all the steam puffing out of the
:10:07. > :10:09.funnel. And the whistle! A bit further down the line there was a
:10:10. > :10:13.tunnel that we went through and all the smoke coming out was fun. They
:10:14. > :10:20.are much more interesting than the modern ones. They make a lot of
:10:21. > :10:25.noise. I feel excited by them. This has been an especially exciting year
:10:26. > :10:31.for the Bluebell Railway. It has opened a two mile stretch linking up
:10:32. > :10:37.to East Grinstead. It took four years and links the commuter line
:10:38. > :10:40.with the Heritage line. We have started to attract a lot more people
:10:41. > :10:46.to come and see the railway line from the London area. They are
:10:47. > :10:49.arriving by train and travelling on our services. Overall, our numbers
:10:50. > :10:55.have almost doubled this year compared with radius years. It has
:10:56. > :11:01.helped businesses in East Grinstead to, even if they accept that more
:11:02. > :11:06.needs to be done to get visitors from the platform into the town
:11:07. > :11:16.centre. Some of the trains, but her soul, and people don't get off them
:11:17. > :11:24.always. We want to encourage people to get off the train and get into
:11:25. > :11:31.the time. `` into the Tyne. `` town.
:11:32. > :11:38.This is the first`class carriage, almost 100 years old, riding on a
:11:39. > :11:44.piece of track that has not been used for 55 years. It is like
:11:45. > :11:45.travelling through history. It is a story with plenty more chapters to
:11:46. > :12:00.come. Here she comes, the Pudsey Express!
:12:01. > :12:02.We have been waiting for her to arrive and here she is! You can see
:12:03. > :12:09.lots of important passengers on board. All of them are fundraising
:12:10. > :12:12.heroes. History and is one of the smaller ones of the Bluebell
:12:13. > :12:16.Railway, and one of the first ones they bought when they opened the
:12:17. > :12:20.line back in the 1950s. In a moment I am hoping some of these passengers
:12:21. > :12:24.will get out of their third class carriages and we will be able to
:12:25. > :12:29.have a word with some of them and find out what they have been doing
:12:30. > :12:34.today. Perhaps he can't even get his head out of the window! Hello,
:12:35. > :12:42.there! I was your journey? Very nice, Chile. Very comfortable. Tell
:12:43. > :12:55.me why you got to be special passengers? Because we raised ?62 at
:12:56. > :13:06.a church by selling cake 's. My friends mums company doubled that.
:13:07. > :13:12.What kind of cakes? Little cupcakes. They always sell, don't they? We are
:13:13. > :13:18.going to move down along the platform. Hello, guys! Why are you a
:13:19. > :13:24.fundraising hero? The children have been dressed in their onesies all
:13:25. > :13:30.day at school, so the school raised lots of money! I like your spotty
:13:31. > :13:41.onesie. Would you very warm and school? Yes, I was. What was the
:13:42. > :13:50.train like? They were really warm. What are they like compared to
:13:51. > :13:56.modern trends? Better. Have you enjoyed your journey? Yes. There are
:13:57. > :14:02.lots of people here who have raising money all day, lots of onesies worn
:14:03. > :14:20.and cakes baked, lots of people your team `` who are keen to talk to
:14:21. > :14:23.Pudsey. Back to the studio. Dreamland is opening to the public
:14:24. > :14:27.for the first time in years tomorrow. The trust is inviting
:14:28. > :14:36.people to walk round the derelict farm Park. It is due to open in 2015
:14:37. > :14:43.as a Heritage Park, and they hope it will enjoy the same kind of success
:14:44. > :14:47.it had in the 1960s and 1970s. It is one of our best`known brand
:14:48. > :14:50.names ` Airfix. Production has returned to Britain for the first
:14:51. > :14:53.time in 20 years. Airfix is now owned by Thanet`based Hornby, who
:14:54. > :14:56.have moved the contract to create more than 250,000 kits, including
:14:57. > :15:03.Spitfires and Messerschmidts, from China to Newhaven in Sussex. Piers
:15:04. > :15:06.Hopkirk reports. At this London factory, PowerBook scale models of
:15:07. > :15:13.the real thing, production is at its peak. It is a brand as British as a
:15:14. > :15:17.bulldog. After an absence of 20 years, Airfix is returning
:15:18. > :15:22.production to our shores. This company in New Haven caste with
:15:23. > :15:29.creating a new kind of clueless model kit. The aeroplanes made here
:15:30. > :15:33.are ready to fly off the shelves this Christmas. Airfix is a
:15:34. > :15:41.traditional UK brand. In recent years, the workers moved away and
:15:42. > :15:46.not been onshore. It is now being brought back to the UK and we are
:15:47. > :15:52.glad that Hornby has chosen us to represent them as its manufacturer.
:15:53. > :15:57.With labour costs increasing in China, Hornby has decided to make
:15:58. > :16:03.these models in Sussex. They are manufacturing 40,000 separate
:16:04. > :16:10.component today, 1800 complete kits. More than 250,000 a year.
:16:11. > :16:14.Traditionally, a large amount of factories have left New Haven and
:16:15. > :16:17.left an excess supply of workers, so we are happy to be able to put
:16:18. > :16:25.something back into the local economy. This is a trend that we
:16:26. > :16:31.have been picking up, companies choosing to ring back production
:16:32. > :16:37.from a low labour cost economy back to the UK. It is great when we see
:16:38. > :16:44.companies choosing to bring business activity back to the UK. So while
:16:45. > :16:49.the return of Airfix has given a lift locally, there is hope that
:16:50. > :16:58.this model could persuade other manufacturers to return to our
:16:59. > :17:01.region. It caused a transport revolution
:17:02. > :17:05.when it opened 50 years ago, allowing motorists to drive direct
:17:06. > :17:08.from Kent to Essex without having to go all the way into London first. Of
:17:09. > :17:12.course, it is the Dartford Tunnel. The first bore opened in November
:17:13. > :17:16.1963 with a toll of two shillings and six pence, around 12p for a car.
:17:17. > :17:19.That's the equivalent of ?2 in real terms now. Then an average of nearly
:17:20. > :17:22.12,500 people used it daily. Now 140,000 drivers use the crossing
:17:23. > :17:33.over a 24`hour period. Our correspondent Yvette Austen reports.
:17:34. > :17:38.They are digging the biggest role `` will tunnel to be built in Britain
:17:39. > :17:44.since 1934. Digging under the Thames, they considered the work has
:17:45. > :17:50.been recognised back then, digging by hand from both sides. They have
:17:51. > :17:55.nearly have a mile to go before the linkup. Five years later, the first
:17:56. > :18:02.art tunnel opened. It was six shillings for lorries, have to grind
:18:03. > :18:13.for powers. `` hath a crime for Carters. I was 13 when the tunnel
:18:14. > :18:17.opens. It was so exciting. It was the first tunnel I had ever driven
:18:18. > :18:22.through. Of course, the crossing was popular and the traffic built up, so
:18:23. > :18:29.much so that a second tunnel was opened in 1980 and 1991 the QE2
:18:30. > :18:33.bridge. The crossing designed to handle 135,000 vehicles a day, that
:18:34. > :18:40.night it is used by more. Every weekday morning there will be a two
:18:41. > :18:44.or three mile tailback each way. You tend to forget that my days. In the
:18:45. > :18:52.opened the bridge it was marvellous for a period of time. Now we are
:18:53. > :18:56.back to work was then. To ease the congestion, the tools will soon go,
:18:57. > :19:01.but not the charges. They will mostly be paid online. In eight
:19:02. > :19:07.years so there is a plan for another tunnel or bridge to give us that era
:19:08. > :19:12.rude, like in the past. One way or another, we are starting to get the
:19:13. > :19:16.road system that Britain needs. That's all from the studio. Let's go
:19:17. > :19:19.back to the Children In Need celebrations at the Bluebell Railway
:19:20. > :19:32.with Natalie and, of course, Pudsey Bear.
:19:33. > :19:38.Welcome back to the Bluebell Railway. I am on board the blue Bell
:19:39. > :19:43.herself. It has been turned into the Pudsey Express. This is one of the
:19:44. > :19:48.first trains that the Bluebell Railway acquired when they reopened
:19:49. > :19:54.after the closure of the line in the 1950s. She is a small engine. Hello,
:19:55. > :20:00.Pudsey! Lets talk to some of the people who have been raising money
:20:01. > :20:04.today. Hello! You have some beautiful children here. They are
:20:05. > :20:12.the reason you have been raising money. Yes, we have always been
:20:13. > :20:16.fundraising since they were born. We have gone for Children in Need this
:20:17. > :20:24.year. What did you pay for school this year? Kicks. What was in your
:20:25. > :20:29.cake? Pudsey Bear cakes. Did you check them out with your friends?
:20:30. > :20:38.Yes. We had a raffle, didn't we? Yes! We have had cake baking and
:20:39. > :20:43.some onesie wearing, you have been holding Astley at auction at your
:20:44. > :20:50.school, haven't you? Yes. You managed to get some year 12 study
:20:51. > :20:56.jobs for you. They are the slaves. We have to do the vetting for them.
:20:57. > :21:00.Thank you for everyone who has been raising money. Let's take a look at
:21:01. > :22:17.what the rest of you have been doing for Children in Need today.
:22:18. > :22:23.Thank you to everyone who has been raising money today. We do
:22:24. > :22:28.appreciate it, however big or small. It all goes to worthy causes from
:22:29. > :22:33.across the South East. All of them helping the children who really are
:22:34. > :22:49.in need. Let's talk to some of our fundraising heroes. ?1137! We've
:22:50. > :22:55.raised it by doing a pyjama day. Cake sale. And a raffle. Where was
:22:56. > :23:01.this? At her primary school in Carshalton. Thank you very much.
:23:02. > :23:11.What have you been doing, supporting this lot Westerman we made is things
:23:12. > :23:21.to raffle. We made lots of cakes, didn't we? It was all the effort
:23:22. > :23:25.from the kids. They organised it all. We have never celebrated
:23:26. > :23:31.Children in Need before, and they wanted to raise the money. Their
:23:32. > :23:35.target was ?500, and they have raised a fantastic in mind. You have
:23:36. > :23:41.some very generous people at your school. I did you manage to raise
:23:42. > :23:47.much money? I don't know how much we raised. It is probably because we
:23:48. > :23:55.wanted to do it for a change, and it is something that is going to help
:23:56. > :24:03.disadvantaged children across the UK. Did parents give money or just
:24:04. > :24:06.the pupils? Parents as well. When we did the nursery, the kids couldn't
:24:07. > :24:13.do it, so the parents did it for them. That's the thing, you have to
:24:14. > :24:16.yes the parents for the money! We have lots of happy faces here
:24:17. > :24:26.tonight, people who have done a lot of hard work. It has been a
:24:27. > :24:31.fantastic day weather`wise for fundraising. It has been bright and
:24:32. > :24:38.sunny, but also fairly colt, and getting colder here at Sheffield
:24:39. > :24:39.Park railway station! We will be here throughout the evening. Let's
:24:40. > :24:56.see what's the forecast is. I am with the station master here.
:24:57. > :25:01.Lem, these are magnificent. The two locomotives behind you have been
:25:02. > :25:06.kept in their pre`1st World War delivery. They look absolutely
:25:07. > :25:11.brilliant. I hope they don't mind getting to call, because it will get
:25:12. > :25:19.cold tonight! Temperatures are about four degrees, and with 12 and a half
:25:20. > :25:23.hours to come before the sun rises again, it will only go one way,
:25:24. > :25:30.dine. It'll get down to freezing for many of us. There will be an air
:25:31. > :25:36.frost, as well as a ground frost. There will be fun patches, as well.
:25:37. > :25:40.At least it will be staying dry. The will be some hazy midnight in the
:25:41. > :25:46.sky, and temperatures dropping away before they get down to freezing. I
:25:47. > :25:51.think many of us will wake up to a ground frost, and some air frost and
:25:52. > :26:05.shallow fog patches, as well. It'll be a beautiful day through
:26:06. > :26:08.tomorrow with lovely sunshine. Cabbages tomorrow will only get up
:26:09. > :26:13.to or nine degrees, similar to what we have today, but with the less
:26:14. > :26:19.biting wind. A lovely day for Saturday. I would say it is going to
:26:20. > :26:23.be the nice day of the weekend. Sunday will be an ugly sister of the
:26:24. > :26:27.weekend. It will be much cloudier with temperatures only up to give
:26:28. > :26:31.degrees. Things get much more exciting as we go into the next
:26:32. > :26:38.week. Monday will turn wetter. Not a great start to the new week, but a
:26:39. > :26:41.wet day for Monday. It is Tuesday when things will turn much colder.
:26:42. > :26:45.Tuesday will tickle our goose bumps of it with cabbage is only getting
:26:46. > :26:52.up to about four degrees as a top cabbage. Cold enough for a snow, but
:26:53. > :26:57.they don't think we will have the showers to produce the snowflakes.
:26:58. > :27:05.So, beautiful weekend. Monday will be wet, but choose DS when things
:27:06. > :27:13.turn so much colder. I have done my bit and made it sunny for Children
:27:14. > :27:28.in Need, nighters at to you to donate some money! `` `` now it is
:27:29. > :27:32.up to you to donate some money. They will stay here, whatever the
:27:33. > :27:38.weather, for the rest of the evening. Join us throughout the
:27:39. > :27:41.night at the Sheffield Park station on the Bluebell Railway.
