:00:11. > :00:13.Good evening. A transport expert says the likelihood of a second
:00:14. > :00:17.train line into the South Wdst remains very small despite the
:00:18. > :00:20.problems at Dawlish. The man, who set up the model which ministers use
:00:21. > :00:23.when deciding which rail schemes get the go`ahead, says any alternative
:00:24. > :00:27.to the existing railway would need to be cheaper than maintainhng the
:00:28. > :00:31.coastal route. Scott Binghal reports.
:00:32. > :00:36.The storm in early February left the rail line at Dawlish hanging by a
:00:37. > :00:39.thread. The vulnerability of this stretch of track has promptdd calls
:00:40. > :00:43.for an alternative route. Btt the expert who set up the model used by
:00:44. > :00:47.ministers to decide which schemes get the go`ahead says gaining
:00:48. > :00:51.approval will be difficult. New railways are very expensive. More
:00:52. > :00:55.land would have to be bought and there would also be issues `bout the
:00:56. > :01:01.stations that the new route would serve and whether particular towns
:01:02. > :01:04.were bypassed by it. Transport spending in the South West hs the
:01:05. > :01:07.lowest of any English region, largely due to the relatively low
:01:08. > :01:10.numbers of rail users here, while easing overcrowding on commtter
:01:11. > :01:16.trains in the South East will always be a vote winner. Dawlish m`y have
:01:17. > :01:19.the government's attention for now, but with engineers working round the
:01:20. > :01:23.clock, the line could be up and running by Easter. That is when
:01:24. > :01:35.politicians and council leaders will need to sharpen their elbows.
:01:36. > :01:39.A work man is recovering in hospital after the digger he was operating
:01:40. > :01:44.toppled into the sea off Portland in Dorset. The coastguard helicopter
:01:45. > :01:47.crew winched the man to safdty from the water at Castletown. It is
:01:48. > :01:51.believed the digger fell from a 20 foot wall. His injuries are serious
:01:52. > :01:55.but not life`threatening. A family whose home and cars were
:01:56. > :01:57.hit by an articulated lorry are today assessing the damage. The
:01:58. > :02:00.emergency services were called to Old Newton Road in Bovey Tr`cey
:02:01. > :02:02.early yesterday after the supermarket truck crashed into the
:02:03. > :02:07.property and hit five vehicles. The householder said he and his wife
:02:08. > :02:10.woke up to a trail of destrtction. The 40 tonne truck has taken all
:02:11. > :02:14.three vehicles right the wax along the road and written them all off
:02:15. > :02:17.and then it's taken out the next door neighbour's car, wrote that
:02:18. > :02:20.off, and then it's pushed another vehicle right the way down the road,
:02:21. > :02:24.into the next door neighbour's garden, and taken all their conifer
:02:25. > :02:26.hedge out. Cornwall has been celebrating the
:02:27. > :02:31.life of St Piran with the traditional outdoor play about the
:02:32. > :02:34.patron saint of tinners. Thd annual event involves a cast of local
:02:35. > :02:41.actors, schoolchildren and lusicians and moves across the dunes `t
:02:42. > :02:44.Penhale Sands. This year, for the first time, those taking part were
:02:45. > :02:46.able to see the remains of the saint's oratory, which is now being
:02:47. > :02:49.excavated. I think it gives the Cornish a sense
:02:50. > :02:53.of identity, wanting to know more about our saint, and so the fact his
:02:54. > :03:01.oratory was covered up has really been quite sad for many people, and
:03:02. > :03:03.now finally we are uncovering it. Haggis, spicy meatballs and Thai
:03:04. > :03:08.chicken were among the ingrddients this weekend at the World P`sty
:03:09. > :03:12.Championships. A record number of people competed in the third year of
:03:13. > :03:16.the event at the Eden Project in Cornwall. Chris Lyddon has the
:03:17. > :03:21.story. Baked to perfection, but will it be
:03:22. > :03:24.success on a plate? The judges have the best job here. They givd marks
:03:25. > :03:31.for crimping and texture, and then just get stuck in. Salmon and
:03:32. > :03:34.monkfish in this one. I've had a lot of pasties today and a lot of
:03:35. > :03:38.pasties in my life, and that blew us away, I have to say, really by the
:03:39. > :03:41.taste. It looked great, it smelt lovely, the pastry was amazhng, and
:03:42. > :03:45.then the fish really worked, a real surprise.
:03:46. > :03:48.It is a pasty`lover's idea of heaven. The culinary creations of
:03:49. > :03:56.150 bakers, an Olympics of the humble oggy. It is something which
:03:57. > :04:00.is deceptively simple, the pasty, and everybody has an opinion, but a
:04:01. > :04:03.great pasty as opposed to jtst a good everyday pasty, is somdthing
:04:04. > :04:09.that is a gourmet food for the common man. Lucy Bennett is just
:04:10. > :04:15.two, but it's her second tile in the competition. They are going to get
:04:16. > :04:19.cooked and then you can havd it later! So what is the secret of a
:04:20. > :04:26.world`class crimper? It is `ll about this, but for me, I'm going to
:04:27. > :04:29.cheat. That is the only way to win. I have got machines with me to make
:04:30. > :04:33.pasties. I'm going to cheat. He s basically going to do a Wallace and
:04:34. > :04:36.Gromit and try to come up whth a new way of doing something a pahr of
:04:37. > :04:40.hands can do more simply. Along the winners, aptly named Simon Cornish,
:04:41. > :04:42.the new winner of the Junior Cornish Pasty World Champion. The
:04:43. > :04:45.12`year`old's brother and hhs dad are both previous World Chalpions.
:04:46. > :04:50.But it was the Cornish pastx which was the real winner here.
:04:51. > :04:53.On to rugby, and in the Championship, the Cornish Phrates
:04:54. > :04:59.beat Jersey 19`15 in a very wet game at the Mennaye Field this afternoon.
:05:00. > :05:02.Onto the weather now, and there are several flood warnings in force
:05:03. > :05:07.tonight. Here's Holly with the forecast.
:05:08. > :05:13.This afternoon's rain has bden replaced by heavy `` thundery
:05:14. > :05:19.showers tonight and tomorrow they could bring the risk of snow. There
:05:20. > :05:22.is a risk of hail and thunddr through tonight, but we havd got
:05:23. > :05:28.some clear spells around as well, which means that we could gdt quite
:05:29. > :05:32.chilly, perhaps with a touch of Frost and I swear temperatures get
:05:33. > :05:37.low enough. There could be ` few centimetres of snow above 300
:05:38. > :05:42.metres, but the showers of rain will be heavy and organised, so we could
:05:43. > :05:47.see a fair bit of surface w`ter on the roads. In the Channel Islands,
:05:48. > :05:52.the combination of swells and strong winds also leads to the risk of
:05:53. > :05:55.coastal flooding. Next week, we have got some bright conditions `round at
:05:56. > :06:00.times, but we have also got some continued rain and showers.
:06:01. > :06:07.That is all from us now good evening.
:06:08. > :06:11.will be back. Good evening. The chances are, you
:06:12. > :06:16.are enjoying your evening on a nice warm sofa while it rains outside.
:06:17. > :06:20.Pretty heavy rain in parts of the country and for tomorrow morning,
:06:21. > :06:24.wrap up warmly, it will be a cheap upstart right across the country.
:06:25. > :06:27.This is where the rain is right now from Portsmouth to London across to
:06:28. > :06:31.the north-east and the east of the country and it will push out into
:06:32. > :06:39.the North Sea. Not all of the rain will clear away but it will be cold
:06:40. > :06:41.enough for some icy stretches across parts of Northern Ireland, the
:06:42. > :06:46.Northwest of England, too, but everywhere will have a chilly start.
:06:47. > :06:51.Not exclusively snow to higher ground, maybe to some lower land,
:06:52. > :06:55.too, but in the south-east, rain showers and pretty grey and
:06:56. > :06:59.unpleasant, but other parts will be enjoying some sunshine, but Swales,
:07:00. > :07:03.parts of Yorkshire. North-east Scotland looks like staying grey,
:07:04. > :07:10.wet and cold. Not so bad on Tuesday for the bulk of country but if it
:07:11. > :07:11.does rain, it will be in Cornwall and maybe Devon, but this
