'Underrated' UK seaside town gets train to London for first time in 30 years
A beloved UK seaside town could finally be reconnected to the capital after decades of being cut off from direct rail links. For the first time since 1992, direct trains could soon be running from Cleethorpes to London, reconnecting the Lincolnshire seaside town to the capital after more than 30 years. The last time direct services were running between the two destinations, John Major was Prime Minister, Whitney Houston was topping the charts, and the first text messages were being sent. However, that could soon change as rail operator Grand Central submitted an application to reintroduce services back in March. It hopes to connect Cleethorpes, Grimsby, Habrough, and Scunthorpe with London King's Cross as early as December 2026. If approved, there would be four return services a day, creating more than 775,000 additional seats each year and potentially unlocking £30.1 million annually for the region. 'This isn't just about attracting future investment into our town, it's about addressing missed economic and social opportunities due to current poor connectivity,' said Melanie Onn, the MP for Great Grimsby and Cleethorpes. After delays in getting plans underway, MPs met again in May to discuss the proposal, with Simon Lightwood, the parliamentary under-secretary of state for transport, saying the Department's view will be passed on 'in due course'. Paul Hutchings, managing director responsible for Grand Central, previously commented on the plans: 'If approved, these services will play a pivotal role in driving regional growth by linking underserved communities to key commercial opportunities, benefiting both local businesses and passengers.' Nothing is set in stone just yet, and there's no confirmation on how much tickets will cost if the direct service is approved. However, Grand Central said it hopes to have the trains running by December 2026. At the moment, getting to Cleethorpes from London requires multiple changes. Passengers typically have to take the train from Cleethorpes to Scunthorpe, to Scunthorpe to Doncaster and from there to King's Cross. The journey takes just under four hours in total, and that's assuming all trains run on time. It will set you back around £25 for a one-way ticket on Trainline. There's plenty to explore once you get to the seaside town, and, of course, the top activity is the beach. Expect arcades and fish and chip shops along the promenade and a Victorian-era pier to stroll along. The beach has a four-star rating on TripAdvisor, based on hundreds of reviews. One user, 'Roger B', said: 'Cleethorpes is so underrated. The promenade is clean with a lovely waterfall.' Others described it as a 'beautiful beach', boasting that the sand was 'soft' and 'clean'. Cleethorpes boating lake is another main attraction. Visitors can hire pedal boats, feed the ducks or enjoy a stroll around the water. There are also lots of independent shops, cafes and beachfront pubs to explore. And, if all goes to plan, it may be easier for Londoners to make a day trip there. More Trending If you're after visiting another underrated UK seaside town, why not take a trip to Treardurr Bay, which was named the UK's best coastal gem earlier this year. The beach lies just south of Holyhead in Wales and has been praised as one of the 'most prestigious beaches in Anglesey'. Not only does it have 'crystal clear waters,' but it's relatively quiet, so you won't find yourself competing with hundreds of other beachgoers for a spot. The research, conducted by Insure4Boats, analysed Met Office data, local attractions and social media comments across more than 250 coastal towns. It described the bay as the 'perfect playground for water sports enthusiasts with kayak and paddleboard rental available.' Do you have a story to share?

Only 84 songs have debuted at No. 1 in the history of the Billboard Hot 100 — here they all are
Only 84 songs have debuted atop the Billboard Hot 100 since the chart was launched in 1958. "What I Want" by Morgan Wallen and Tate McRae is the most recent song to achieve this feat. Drake has the most entries with nine. Listen to the complete playlist on Business Insider's Spotify. The Billboard Hot 100 is widely considered the definitive all-genre singles chart in the US. Although it was officially launched in 1958, Billboard began using modern airplay and sales data in 1991 — allowing for more time-sensitive calculations and accurate rankings. Well over 1,000 songs have reached the coveted No. 1 spot, but it's far more difficult for a song to debut in the top position; it typically means a much-promoted single has met high expectations, or at least that an artist is supported and beloved by a legion of fans. Keep reading for a complete list of instant chart-toppers throughout history. 1. "You Are Not Alone" by Michael Jackson Michael Jackson was the first artist to achieve this feat with "You Are Not Alone," which debuted at No. 1 on the chart dated September 2, 1995.

The Post Malone duet earned 76.2 million streams in its first week, breaking the record previously set by Rodrigo with "Drivers License" (76.1 million), according to Billboard. Swift is now tied with Grande for the second-most No. 1 debuts of any artist in history (seven apiece), while Drake holds the all-time record. 79. "Not Like Us" by Kendrick Lamar "Not Like Us" debuted at No. 1 on the chart dated May 18, 2024. The diss track was released amid Kendrick Lamar's heated feud with Drake, ignited by Lamar's verse on "Like That." Another of Lamar's anti-Drake songs, "Euphoria," peaked on the same chart at No. 3, while Drake's response, "Family Matters," debuted at No. 7. 80. "I Had Some Help" by Post Malone and Morgan Wallen "I Had Some Help" debuted at No. 1 on the chart dated May 25, 2024. The country duet is Malone's second song to arrive in the top spot after "Fortnight" — both within the same month — and his sixth No. 1 song overall. As for Wallen, "I Had Some Help" marks his second Hot 100 leader after "Last Night" charted at No. 1 for 16 weeks in 2023, setting a record for a solo song. (It has since been broken by Shaboozey's "A Bar Song.") 81. "Love Somebody" by Morgan Wallen "Love Somebody" debuted at No. 1 on the chart dated November 2, 2024. 82.

Lamar joins Swift, Drake, and The Beatles as the only artists to blanket the entire top five with songs debuting in those positions. 83.

Whitney Houston, Mike Myers and Mariah Carey are a few A-list stars who came up during testimony in the third week of Diddy's sex trafficking and racketeering trial. The testimony in the 55-year-old music producer's trial began May 12. The disgraced music mogul appeared in court to sit through testimony from another alleged victim, "Mia," his former assistant Capricorn Clark and celebrity stylist Deonte Nash. Here's a look at the celebrities mentioned in court this week. Diddy's former executive assistant, Capricorn Clark, mentioned both Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey during her testimony in the sex trafficking trial. Capricorn claimed she thought Cassie was talented but was more of a studio artist. "Why do you think she just had talent as opposed to being very talented?" Diddy's lawyer asked the ex-assistant. "Um, talented to me is Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey," Capricorn said. "Very talented is that level of performer, entertainer. Cassie was more of a studio artist." Capricorn described a studio artist as "a little bit more comfortable in the vocal booth to have a little bit of things equalized for you and, you know, engineered properly. Less of a live performer." Diddy's alleged victim, who has been allowed to testify under the pseudonym "Mia," testified she previously worked for Mike Myers. "What did you do for Mike Myers?" the prosecution asked in court. "I was his personal assistant," Mia replied. Myers was also a celebrity name mentioned during jury questioning ahead of the trial. Myers' "Austin Powers" features a joke about the disgraced rapper. Prior to working with Mike Meyers, "Mia," the alleged victim who worked for Diddy from 2009 until 2017, also worked as a personal assistant for fashion designer Georgina Chapman. "Who were Georgina's Chapman's clients?" the prosecution asked during direct examination. Mia answered, "It was all like red-carpet celebrity dressing." Chapman was previously married to Harvey Weinstein, who is facing a rape retrial in New York, from 2007 until 2021. Chapman filed for divorce in 2017 after multiple women came forward accusing Weinstein of sexual misconduct. Chapman is the co-founder of the fashion brand Marchesa and has been dating actor Adrien Brody since 2020. Musicians Nas and Kelis were mentioned during Diddy's ex-assistant's testimony. Capricorn Clark claimed Diddy took her to Central Park and threatened to kill her after he learned she had previously worked for Suge Knight. "Did you ever walk in Central Park other than that one time with Mr. Combs?" Diddy's defense asked during the cross-examination. "Earlier that day," she said. "We, he was giving me the run of the, you know, run of show, what the job would be like. And we walked from the east side of the park to the west side of the park, and we ran into Nas and Kelis in the middle of the park." Diddy's former stylist, Deonte Nash, mentioned rapper French Montana during his cross-examination. When asked who was signed by Bad Boy Records while he worked for Diddy, Nash replied, "Um French Montana." "Wait. French Montana, the hip-hop person, rap star?" Diddy's defense lawyer asked. "Yes. I mean, and Puff. That's all I can really remember right now," Nash added. During celebrity stylist Deonte Nash's cross-examination, he told the jury about a mixtape he helped Cassie Ventura produce in 2013, "RockaByeBaby." Nash testified there was a team behind the mixtape. He confirmed that he did not get paid to work on the tape. "No one got paid for the mixtape," he said. Nash testified that A-list rappers were on Cassie's mixtape. Rick Ross, Wiz Khalifa, Meek Mill and other well-known artists were featured, according to Diddy's former stylist. The celebrity stylist, who also worked with Cassie, told the jury Diddy threatened not to release the "Me & U" singer's mixtape. "He told her that one time if she keep — if she keeps having a smart-a - mouth, her little mixtape won't be coming out," Nash testified.

Jessie J sends fans wild as she drops brand-new single - and unveils stunning artwork
Jessie J has sent fans into a frenzy after dropping a brand-new single and unveiling the stunning official artwork for the track on Friday. Following the release of her deeply personal and reflective song No Secrets last month, the singer, 37, has returned with Living My Best Life - a vibrant, feel-good anthem bursting with positivity. Produced by GRAMMY-winning hitmaker Ryan Tedder, the new single is a celebration of joy and self-expression, serving as the perfect yin to No Secrets yang. The exuberant throwback track came to Jessie while driving through LA, with the best of Whitney Houston and Prince blaring from her Jeep. Speaking about the song, Jessie said: 'I love the sense of moving upwards, so Living My Best Life has that same feeling. It feels timeless, classic, 80s. It makes you want to dance.' In the newly released artwork, Jessie stuns in nothing but a brown blazer and oversized tortoiseshell sunglasses. Beaming during the shoot, she styled her brunette tresses in voluminous waves and accessorised with chunky gold hoop earrings. Following the announcement, fans flocked to her Instagram to express their excitement. One fan wrote: 'FAVORITE SONG!!! the voice! the attitude! the vibe! the lyric video! THE OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO!!!! it's all sooo goood! ❤️.'; 'Happy release day!! It's on repeat.'; 'You are EVERYTHING! ❤️'; 'LIVING MY BEST LIFE is an epic feel good anthem soo hyped for this seeing live 2nd time at Wembley Stadium!!' This comes after Jessie dazzled audiences at the BAFTA Television Awards with a sensational performance of power-ballad The Award Goes To - marking her first television performance in six years. However, the star doesn't plan on slowing down anytime soon as she is also set to headline an intimate acoustic show at London's Union Chapel on May 20. This sold-out performance will give fans their first chance to hear her new material live, alongside a selection of fan favourites. She'll also return to the stage at Capital's Summertime Ball on June 15, performing at Wembley Stadium for the first time in 11 years. Despite not releasing new music in 2023, Jessie reportedly earned a staggering £7.6 million - equivalent to nearly £28,000 per day - following her decision to cut ties with record label Republic and manage her own career. In September 2023, she announced her departure from Republic after 17 years, sharing the news in a heartfelt Instagram video. Dressed casually in a hoodie and baseball cap, she told fans: 'My lawyer said that I need to make a statement about the decision that I have made. I don't want it to feel like a huge, big thing.' She continued: 'After 17 years, I have decided to leave Republic Records. I was about six months pregnant when I made this decision. 'Monte and Avery Lipman, and Jason Flomm have been so gracious and kind in supporting my decision and letting me go. It's been the most amazing high and low ride of my life. 'I just feel so grateful to have been signed to the best record label in the world. I have to just be honest with who I am and what I want from my career now. 'There's no negative spin, it's not dramatic. I just didn't feel right being signed, and it hasn't for years. So, I need to stop just trusting my instincts and ask for them... so now I am unemployed. 'I am now in the process of doing all the legalities and sorting out the music so I can put out new music and do it my way. On my time and my terms. 'Now I have had a baby, there is just no stopping me. Something happens when you have a baby and just start giving zero f**ks. But there is nothing but good vibes. Captioning the post, she added: 'Not me looking like Johnny Depp from Charlie and the chocolate factory for my big statement. 'Thank you Monte and Avery Lipman, Jason Flomm, and everyone who I've worked with at Republic for the past 17 years. What a rollercoaster. Mic drop.' Jessie welcomed her first child, a son named Sky, in May 2023 with her partner, basketball player Chanan Safir Colman. The couple, who began dating in 2021, announced the pregnancy in January 2023.
