A new trial to overhaul rail fares on selected routes will begin in May after train operators in the UK admitted that buying the right ticket can be baffling.

The system will make sure that passengers pay the cheapest possible fares and can avoid the need to split their tickets on longer journeys.

Dave Walford, an independent rail consultant based in Driffield, has been speaking to Radio Humberside:

Daniel Edwards, 22, stabbed Fiona Southwell to death at Grange Farm near Seaton in July last year, and was earlier today sentenced to life with a minimum of 24 years.

On sentencing Edwards, the judge had this to say:

Here's the forecast for the rest of the day.

The CPS has responded to the sentencing of Daniel Edwards to life with a minumum of 24 years.

The jury heard that Edwards, 22, probably harboured a resentment against Miss Southwell, who had been employed to look after horses at Grange Farm following his own dismissal from the position due to his unreliability.

Daniel Edwards, earlier today found guilty for the murder of Fiona Southwell, has been given a life sentence with a minimum term of 24 years.

On sentencing at Hull Crown Court the judge took into account Edwards' learning difficulties.

A former Yorkshire and Humber MEP has told the BBC that he thinks it's only a matter of time before the European Union collapses. 

Speaking this afternoon on Radio Humberside, Godfrey Bloom says other countries will be watching closely and could follow suit.

In the last hour Daniel Edwards has been found guilty of murdering Fiona Southwell at a farm near Hornsea last July.
