The image above, taken at about 15:30 on Sunday, shows the group in between the tracks on the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway (KWVR), the line which featured in the 1970 classic film The Railway Children.

The line is closed for passengers until 17 April due to coronavirus restrictions, but is still in regular use for training and engineering services, KWVR said.

Noel Hartley, KWVR operations manager, said: "It's incredibly frustrating and disheartening to see people doing this regardless of the risks involved.

"We've been running engineering trains throughout all of this, the public perception has been there's no risk because we're closed and that just isn't the case."

The line had been used "intensively" for training over the Easter bank holiday, Mr Hartley added, with a train passing every 40 minutes between Wednesday and Friday.

Mr Hartley said: "Taking kids for a walk on the railway is really silly. It starts to instil the idea in children that it's OK to trespass on the railway property."

The news that the government needs more time to consider Leeds Bradford Airport's £150m expansion plans matters because seven other airports as well as Leeds Bradford also want to expand their operations.

They will all be less optimistic about their proposals, following today’s decision.

To be clear, the Leeds plan isn’t dead - but it doesn’t bode well for the airport that housing, communities and local government secretary Robert Jenrick says he needs more time to decide whether to kill it or not.

His note to the airport didn’t spell out his reasoning, but it’s reasonable to assume Mr Jenrick wanted to avoid another bruising like the one he suffered recently after tacitly approving a plan for a coal mine in Cumbria. He was forced into a U-turn on that issue.

So when will we get a final ruling? The government won’t say. But my guess is we’ll have to wait for the government’s transport decarbonation strategy due in coming months that will show how all emissions from transport can be reduced.

A plan to expand Leeds Bradford Airport could still be called in by the government, with housing, communities and local government secretary Robert Jenrick now saying he needs more time to consider his final decision.

The £150m expansion plans - to demolish existing buildings and create a new terminal - were approved in February by Leeds City Council, despite local opposition.

At the time, airport chairman Andy Clarke said the expansion would provide "significant improvements, benefits to the regional economy and an improved passenger experience."

But objectors, including the Group for Action on Leeds Bradford Airport, said the plans would contribute to climate change.

A date for the decision has not been set, but the government has put in place an order which prevents Leeds City Council from granting planning permission without special authorisation.

Closing the Humber Bridge's footpaths was a response to recent "troubling" events, its board says.

The government’s move to get people testing twice a week for Covid-19 was expected and welcomed but people should not "think you’re scot-free” if it comes back as a negative result, Lincolnshire's health bosses have warned.

Prof Derek Ward, Lincolnshire County Council’s director for public health, said the move was “another tool in the toolbox”.

However, he added the “primary line of defence” was to carry on with social distancing, hands, face, space and fresh air.

Under the planned new measures, people can pick up home testing kits from any of the lateral flow testing centres in the county as well as the PCR testing sites in the afternoons. They can also order tests online.

Prof Ward said: “It’s another line in our defence, it’s another tool in the toolbox, so that’s a good thing. But it’s really important everybody remembers even if you are testing yourself twice a week, a negative doesn’t mean definitely you don’t have Covid.

"It just means the test didn’t pick it up, and we know with lateral flow tests, they’re not perfect. So it’s great if you test yourself, but that doesn’t mean if you get a negative, you can go back and do whatever you want."

He added false negatives were of higher concern to health bosses than false positives, as anyone who tests positive is given a complimentary PCR test, which can be done within a couple of days, to confirm the diagnosis – though they must self-isolate in the meantime.

A white Volkswagon Golf left the M1 northbound carriageway between junctions 30 and 31 near Woodhall, at about 19:30 BST on Saturday, according to South Yorkshire Police.

A police spokesperson said: "We are asking any witnesses to the collision, or anyone who witnessed the Golf prior, to get in touch.

The town was busy over the bank holiday with visitors heading to the coast during the good weather.

Gabrielle Naptali helps run a Scarborough-based Facebook page called No More Trash.

She said: "The litter situation is appalling. We're witnessing a wholesale offensive of contamination.

"It's people dumping really, littering doesn't really say it.

"As No More Trash we're gathering together an army of local litter pickers, people who really care and want to make a change."

Ms Napatali said people need to "take responsibility" for their rubbish. She added that part of the process of raising awareness is litter pickers talking to people, so offenders see the human impact.

She said so far that's been "the most successful tactic, because it humanises the process."

The family of Captain Sir Tom Moore have encouraged people to take on their own "100" challenge on what would have been his 101st birthday weekend.

The Army veteran, who was originally from Keighley, West Yorkshire, raised almost £33m for NHS charities by walking 100 laps of his Bedfordshire garden before he turned 100. He died with coronavirus at Bedford Hospital on 2 February.

His daughter Hannah Ingram-Moore urged people to create their own challenge to raise money for the Captain Tom Foundation or a charity of their choice.

She said: "We want people to go crazy and create their own 100 - a challenge around the number 100.

"We thought of whether it should be 101, but it's definitely 100 because that year he lived being 100 was the best year of his life, almost certainly."

Ideas suggested include walking 100 steps, scoring 100 goals, baking 100 cakes or writing a 100-word poem - adhering to social distancing guidelines.

Ms Ingram-Moore said the challenge "feels like the perfect way to celebrate the hope and joy we know he inspired in so many" and her father "would have loved the idea that everyone could get involved".

Any challenges would take place on the 30 April - 3 May bank holiday weekend.

Officers were called to the Lincoln Arboretum on Monks Road shortly after 17:30 on Sunday, according to Lincolnshire Police.

Three local men aged 18, 19 and 22 were arrested on suspicion of affray, police said. All have since been released on bail.

Insp Julia Baker said: "At least 15 teenagers were involved in scuffles in and around the arboretum.

"We received reports one male was armed with a machete so taser armed officers and the dog unit were dispatched. It was a group of youths that were known to each other.

"We had to lockdown the arboretum to protect people, so that innocent members of the public weren't injured."

Insp Sarah Edwards added: “It’s such a shame we saw an incident like this, where a large group of young people were essentially fighting, shouting, and generally causing worry and upset to others in the area.

"Especially at a time when other members of the public are just starting to enjoy a little more freedom in outdoor spaces because some Covid restrictions have started to lift.

"We will make sure those involved are held to account."
