It's terrifying stuff. I bet most of you commute to work if you're reading this .. And I bet a fair amount of you fight every morning and evening to get a seat on the train. Well, new research today shows you're right to. Unbelievably, 8 years on from Ladbroke Grove, our sister documentary show, The London Programme, has commissioned the first research into what actually happens to passengers in train crashes. And that research, using clever simulations of crash test dummies, finds that if you're standing on a train, you're much more likely to be injured or killed. And this at a time when even with new carriages, more people than ever will find there's standing room only. We'll have all the details for you at 6.
Crime figures out today .. And as usual, the devil is in the detail. Headine figures are pretty postitive, but dig a little deeper, and you find that black on black homicide is up 20 percent. We've been to the communities most affected to get reaction, and Ronke's taken their thoughts right to the top - Sir Ian Blair.
We think there might be funny goings on at Arsenal. As rumours fly about David Dein's departure and boardroom splits, we've sent Marcus Powell, a committed Gunner, to investigate. Could Arsenal be about to become the next US owned football club?
And Steve Hargrave's been out in the sunshine, catching a few gigs and drinking beer. And he calls it work! It's the Camden Crawl, and he hooked up with Travis .... It's a hard life.
The gorgeous Robin is with us with the weather ("why does it always rain on him," asked Alastair at the meeting .. Which I thought was really quite witty!)
See you at 6.
