  1. County council to debate devolution plans

    Plans for East Anglian devolution will be discussed by members of Norfolk County Council today.

    Papers for the East Anglia Devolution agreement

    It's the first chance that members have had to discuss plans that would see Norfolk, Suffolk and Cambridgeshire get a directly-elected mayor  who would have new powers over transport and strategic planning.

    There's growing opposition to the plans, with some saying it will simply be another layer of bureaucracy. 

  2. Travel: Level crossing failure causes delays in Brandon

  3. Investigation begins into train and tractor crash

    An investigation has begun into how a train and a tractor crashed at an unmanned level crossing near Thetford yesterday.

    The damaged tractor, and emergency services

    The Abellio Greater Anglia train, carrying more than 130 passengers, was travelling from Norwich to Cambridge at high speed when the crash happened at Roudham at around 12:30.

    The 31-year-old driver of the tractor is said to have suffered serious injuries, and believed to have been flown to the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital.  The train driver and four passengers were also taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries. Several other passengers were treated at the trackside.

    Abellio Greater Anglia and East Midlands Trains say that services are running normally this morning.
