I know I've done it - I'm sure many of you have too - got to the train station with minutes to spare, seen the queue for the ticket machines and faced with the choice of waiting in line or missing the train - opted to jump on board. Well from now, beware! Do that on South West Trains and you will be treated as though you are nothing better than a fare dodger. Even if you go straight up to the guard on the train and ask to buy a ticket, even if the queues for the ticket machines are half a mile long, even if the machines decide not to take notes or cards just as you get up to them - it won't matter. Piers Hopkirk is going to be investigating how that's going down with passengers and if it gets you a little agitated too, or perhaps you think its perfectly fair, we want to hear from you.
Also on the programme an incredibly moving interview with a soldier's widow. Jane Little will be sharing with us the letter she hoped she would never read, the letter her boyfriend left her when he went to Afghanistan, with instructions that it should only be opened if he was killed in action. It's a heart breaking story - she's only nineteen - but what a brave and inspiring woman.
And then the family man who is in a coma after trying to stop a thief driving off in his car. The police are still looking for the car - a Honda Civic - we'll have the latest on that investigation and his condition.
Now we have reported before on the worrying shortage of bees this year, today we have the story of the bees who have built themselves a super nest, a bee mansion and who don't want to move home.
There's also what to look out for at the cinema, what not to miss this weekend AND what London looked like the night the lights went out.
See you at six,
Romilly and Al
