You're being warned to watch out for criminals posing as BT workers after a telephone exchange in Lincolnshire was raided by thieves.
Four jackets like the one pictured below were stolen when thieves climbed over the fence and broke into two vans at the building on Scawby Road in Brigg overnight on Monday.

We still haven't had official confirmation - but Realtime Trains, external which tracks the movments of trains across the country - says the run may be cancelled.
Apparently it's because of a "problem with the traction equipment" - I'm guessing that means the locomotive but I'm not an expert.
Image source, Realtime TrainsIf we get official word from the National Railway Museum, which runs Flying Scotsman - we'll let you know here.

Here are some pictures from Metheringham, between Lincoln and Sleaford, where people are waiting to see the famous locomotive.
It's still not clear if or when it will pass through though. The National Railway Museum, which runs the locomotive, isn't responding to requests for information.

In Lincolnshire we're all too aware of the dangers of rural roads, but a road safety charity says not enough drivers have the skills to drive in the countryside.
Jason Wakeford, from the road safety charity Brake, has told BBC Radio Lincolnshire more needs to be done to train particularly young drivers on what they need to know.
Image source, Getty ImagesThe government says our roads are among the safest in the world and it's not practical to make everyone learn to drive on rural roads because of geographical restrictions.
Quote MessageHigh speeds, sharp bends, narrow lanes, risky overtaking and the presence of vulnerable road users like cyclists, make rural roads the most dangerous by far."

You might expect plans to more than double the size of a solar park to go down badly with the neighbours.
But in one village near Lincoln, a scheme which would see around 20 acres of panels being set up around an existing solar farm is being welcomed.
People in Branston, south of Lincoln, say they don't mind the existing solar farm, and are happy to see the extension, which will increase the area covered by panels by two-and-a-half times.

I was telling you earlier that Flying Scotsman's due in the county this morning. Well, make that this afternoon because it looks like the loco hasn't even set off yet.
It was due to leave York more than two hours ago - but we've been told it's still at the station.
We'll keep you informed here, and on BBC Radio Lincolnshire, on any movements.

It'll pass through Gainsborough at around 10.05. Then it'll carry on through Saxilby, Lincoln, Metheringham, Ruskington and Sleaford.
I'm heading out this morning to try and catch the loco in steam - so check back later to see how I get on!

More now on the two people saved from drowning off Ingoldmells beach by lifeguards yesterday.
The pair, a man and an 11-year-old boy, were caught in a rip current whilst swimming near a rocky outcrop.
Image source, Visit LincolnshireOne of the lifeguards who helped saved them, Tom Harrop, says it can be a dangerous stretch of sea:
Quote MessageThey didn't have much technique and they were just sort of flapping around in the water, really struggling. Even strong swimmers can struggle out there when they get caught by currents like that.
Tom Harrop, Lifeguard
