00:00Hello, my name is Luke Patrick, I'm a reporter for the Lancashire Post and the Blackpool
00:04Gazette. Here is the Daily Bulletin. Rail firm Northern offering trainee train conductor
00:10job, here's how much you get paid. If you're looking to get on track with a new career,
00:15train operator Northern is advertising a new vacancy for trainee train conductor based
00:20in Blackpool. The company's 12 month level 2 conductor apprenticeship offers the latest
00:25virtual, immersive and augmented reality training, as well as lots of practical and
00:30classroom based learning. Northern says there's far more to the role currently being advertised
00:36at Blackpool than simply check-in tickets and travel documents. The travel company,
00:43which operates commuter and medium distance in-city trains across the north of England,
00:47says crucially it's about creating rapport with passengers and being the public face
00:53of Northern. A long-established fruit and veg shop in Cleveley is up for sale. A long-established
00:59fruit and veg shop in Cleveley's town centre is up for sale. The Fleetwood Produce shop
01:04on the corner of Victoria Road West and Bisbon Road has been a familiar feature of the high
01:10street for decades. Now a new operator has the chance to take over this well-run business.
01:17It has been offered for sale at £130,000 through the agent's Kays Peak Property Services.
01:24The business trades five days a week with an average turnover over the past three years
01:29of £10,000 a week, producing substantial profits. New Preston Secondary School hangs
01:35in the balance amid risk of time running out. There is still no guarantee a new Preston
01:41Secondary School can be built on the site where politicians and education bosses believe
01:46it belongs, with barely a month to go until they have to plump for a plan B. Land between
01:53Tappaney Lane and Sandy Lane in Hyde Bartle was reserved for the 600-pupil facility as
01:58part of the new housing estate that was granted permission more than three years ago. Lancashire
02:04County Council has previously said delays in acquiring the plot meant it would have
02:08to look for an alternative site elsewhere, and in 2022-23 the authority turned their
02:14attention to the former home of the now-defunct Talketh High School in Ingle.
02:19Everything we know about the new series of The Bay is set in Lancashire. The Bay, ICB's
02:24hit crime drama set in Lancashire, is returning for its fifth series soon, and below is everything
02:29you need to know. What is The Bay? The Bay is a British crime drama television series
02:35which first aired in 2019 and has had four series air so far. Co-created and written

02:49Morecambe Bay, which is where all the series have been set. In its show information, ICB
02:55said The Bay has been praised for its gritty storytelling, strong character development
