through Micheldever is blocked and say nothing about SWT?

Local radio reporting takes a local focus. A Yorkshire-based station
will only report about CC because only CC trains pass through their
area.

It is, of course, short-sighted - but if every local bulletin included
all possible ramifications, there wouldn't be any time to broadcast
anything non-news.
