Sink or save? Group starts petition to fight against SS United States from becoming artificial reef
MOBILE, Ala. (WKRG) — It's been three weeks since the SS United States was towed to Mobile where work continues to prepare the ship for sinking off the coast of Northwest Florida, but not everyone is on board with the plan. Jason Wade, with the New York Coalition to Save the SS United States, started a petition to stop the ship from going underwater. Testimony for 2021 Toulminville double murder trial raises question of who shot first 'This is truly her last shot before we lose her forever,' Wade pleaded. He said the goal is to turn the historic Ocean Liner into a museum ship. 'Our vision is to have her in New York as a static floating attraction that will be a incubator for small business,' Wade explained. 'It'll be an educational hub. You know, there's hundreds of years' worth of maritime history that we feel needs to be taught, and the future generation needs to understand the importance of these super liners.' Wade said they've gathered 7,500 signatures so far, and once they hit 10,000, they hope to get the attention of lawmakers. 'We're seeking assistance from the federal government,' Wade said. 'So executive branch, President Trump, Secretary of Commerce, Secretary of Interior, the people that are in power and have the control over what happens with the fate of this ship, so the petition is aimed directly at getting awareness to them.'

North East's first dementia-friendly train offers music and stunning scenery
Live music, picnics and massages were on board a 'special' train service, which has started in the North East. Northern Trains ran a 'Forget-Me-Not' service between Whitby and Middlesbrough this week with more to come. Passengers were treated to live music, picnics and soothing hand massages on a 'very special trip' on Wednesday (March 19) as Northern Trains launched their first ever dementia-friendly service. The journey is the first of many designed to give people living with dementia and their carers a safe and calming environment to socialise in and enjoy a relaxing day out while taking in the North East's stunning scenery. The new dementia-friendly services are the brainchild of Lisa Williams, General Manager of Esk valley Railway Development Company. She said: 'It is so important to offer an opportunity to those living with dementia and their carers the chance to meet with others going through a similar experience. 'We discovered that both live music and massages are important to them and offering these on board is a very rewarding experience.' (Image: Northern Trains) Volunteers onboard handed out homemade biscuits, while members of the Friends of Nunthorpe Station group - whose knitted wonders have previously celebrated Royal weddings and Radio 1's Big Weekend - put their needles together to create twiddle muffs. More 'Forget-Me-Not' services are planned throughout the summer months, with the next taking place on May 21, with two more planned for July 16 and September 17. Jason Wade, Regional Director for Northern Trains, welcomed the new services. He said: 'There was a fantastic atmosphere on board and our staff are already looking forward to the next service.

People with a Disabled Railcard can buy tickets for the service at a discount for them and a carer. To travel on a 'Forget-Me-Not' train this summer, tickets can be purchased at ticket vending machines, station ticket offices or the Northern Trains website.
