i'm in contact this morning with andy burnham, and i am absolutely resolute that mark harper has gots too dependent on rest day working. in the north of ringwood, we don't have that at the moment. i'm all for moving towards a more regular and sensible approach to trade union relations within the rail industry. but at the moment, we don't have what the rest of the country has, the ability for drivers to be trained on rest days. on trans pennine express, hit by the pandemic, more drivers than ever before, but it is taking six months longer to train every single driver, because they don't have that rest day work agreement. i am focused that although there is a national issue around the rail industry and strikes, this particular problem, which is as bad on a non—strike day, try to get across the pennines as it is on a strike day, has got to be resolved by the government. and those wide talks with mick lynch and the need for the garment to work on relations with the trade unions, it cannot overwhelm and subsume the fact that even on a non—strike day, the trains are the north are not good

here at 5pm to carry you through the reaction, including from the mayor of greater manchester andy burnham

the labour mayor of greater manchester, andy burnham, has urged the government to end what he callede reached the highest level since records began eight years ago. here's our transport correspondent katy austin. delays, crowds and cancellations have become a fact of life for many rail passengers — and not only when there's a strike. commuters in manchester told us they were fed up. well, i had that random cancellation on friday and it absolutely wrecked my day. my train out of euston was just cancelled. that was it. and then all the trains after that were sold out. so i end up getting on a train late, late in the evening. so you'd like to think that that's an irregular occurrence, but it isn't. it's every day i wake up and check the app and it's sort of, you know, hit or miss, whether it's going to run that day, whether it's going to be on time. forjenna, getting to herjob as a vet has become increasingly stressful. when i'm at this branch anyway, it should be chester, manchester, and just change at warrington — so it should be a fairly easy kind of within an hour — nice, nice and s

the greater manchester combined authority, the one that answers to and in —— andy burnham, a pilot has. you might remember the secretary of state said he could not understand how that gentleman was still in hisjob. he still is in the job, but hisjob is being taken away from him because that part responsibility for social housing, will now be in the hands of independent commissioners with the long—term intention of returning all of the social housing in rochdale back into the control of the local authority. we will have more on that in the next half hour or at five when ben brown will be here. here is a look at the weather now. flooding is causing major disruption. we have had some enormous falls of rain and the rain is still coming down as well. you can see the amber weather warning has been extended till nine o'clock this evening. hundred and 40 mm of rain have fallen across parts of aberdeen ensures. is causing big problems. we have seven severe flood warnings and forced to make this is where flooding is expected and flooding brings a significant threat to life. overnight tonight, th
