Wreckage of Pan Am plane that shaped aviation safety found 74 years on

The wreckage of a Pan American Airways plane has been found 74 years after it plunged into the Atlantic Ocean in a crash that prompted mandatory airline safety briefings.

The Clipper Endeavor was found 2,000ft (610m) below sea level off the coast of Puerto Rico with a sonar-equipped drone. It went down on 11 April 1952 following multiple-engine failure shortly after take-off.

Everyone onboard survived the impact - but passengers struggled to locate life vests and rafts as the plane rapidly sank. Of the 69 passengers and crew onboard, just 17 survived.

The disaster led to sweeping reforms in aviation safety, including compulsory pre-flight safety briefings on every commercial flight.

Thank you.  What about a train fare cap, or is that different?

Three boys have been arrested on suspicion of arson following a major fire that tore through Paignton railway station.
British Transport Police said the boys, aged 13, 15 and 16, were arrested in the Paignton area on Tuesday evening and taken into custody to be questioned by detectives. They were later released on conditional bail while inquiries continued, officers said

Here we go again.  It's a populist move but a very coarse approach that does little for anyone who needs to change buses during a journey.  It doesn't take any account of significantly different types of journey, whether short in-town or longer distance, or help operators launch new routes/buy larger buses to cope with extra demand.

Very unlike the RMT to threaten a strike?   

A trial train service that will enable passengers from Bewdley to connect onto services to and from Birmingham or Worcester has been announced.  The trial will run for eight weeks on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 1 September.  A heritage DMU will leave Bewdley at 0640 and 0740 for Kidderminster Town station to enable passengers to transfer to Kidderminster station for onward travel on the main line.  In the evening, the heritage DMU will leave Kidderminster Town at 1745 and 1850 for Bewdley.

If this is successful, a submission will be made to DfTO to operate a regular service to and from Bewdley.  West Midlands Safari Park has expressed an interest in providing links from these services to the Safari Park if the trial proves successful
