    Simon Blevins, 26, Richard Roberts, 36, and Rich Loizou, 31, became the first UK anti-fracking protesters to be sent to prison, after climbing on lorries at Cuadrilla's site in Lancashire.

    Court of Appeal judges ruled they should be released from prison and instead imposed two-year conditional discharges.

    The judgement was met with applause and singing from supporters in the court.

    Blevins, from Sheffield, Loizou, from Devon, and Roberts, of London, were jailed after being convicted of public nuisance at Preston Crown Court in September.

    Lord Chief Justice Lord Burnett said to jail them immediately was "manifestly excessive".

    Quote Message

    In our judgment, the appropriate sentence which should have been imposed... was a community order with a significant requirement of unpaid work.

    Quote Message

    But these appellants have been in prison for six weeks. As a result, and only for that reason, we have concluded that the appropriate sentence now is a conditional discharge for two years.

  13. Paddington station: 'New Hitachi train on test responsible for disruption'published at 10:19 British Summer Time 17 October 2018

    Paul Clifton
    Transport correspondent, BBC South Today

    A new class 802 Hitachi train, on test, ripped into the overhead wires at Hanwell in west London.

    It has torn down 500m of power cables.

    It would be a surprise if Network Rail can get that repaired in less than a day, and it might well be longer.

    The train, running overnight, was driven by GB Railfreight, which provides test drivers. It will eventually be handed to Great Western but is not theirs at present.
