First Group has been chosen by the government to take over running trains on the West Coast mainline. We look at why their plans are being welcomed in four towns in the west Midlands and the north-west. Also - the government hasn't made up its mind yet about new runways in the south of England, but one of the ideas being mooted is the so-called "Boris Island" airport in the Thames Estuary. But it's an idea that's been floated before. So what happened last time this was suggested and what lessons can be learned for today? How relying on automatic car insurance renewal from your credit card, could land you in court. And - we'll hear from a victim of locked-in syndrome. That's when every muscle in the body is paralysed except your eyelids. It's unusual to survive and very rare indeed to make a full recovery from the condition. We'll be hearing from a man who did. Presented by Julian Worricker Produced by Paul Waters.
