A newspaper published 11,000 copies of an edition which included instructions to writers on the front page instead of a headline, it has revealed.

The Cambridge News apologised yesterday for a "technical error", but the paper's owner Trinity Mirror has since refused to say what the error was or how it went unnoticed.
A spokesman said 11,000 copies had the erroneous headline, but 3,000 of the Cambourne edition ran the correct headline.
He said: "The company will be saying nothing further on this matter other than to reiterate the apology issued by the Cambridge News yesterday."

Fuel leak train stuck for more than 4 hourspublished at 16:10 GMT 7 December 2017
Passengers have been tweeting and calling the BBC after the Hull Trains service which got stuck earlier this morning still remains stuck.
The train struck an object on the track which ruptured fuel tanks leaving it at a standstill between Peterborough and Grantham.
Passengers are now getting frustrated:
Quote MessageThere's no heat, there's no light, all the toilets are full. The crew have been absolutely fantastic but passengers are now starting to get fed up. They've sent people from Hull to fix it. The train's too badly damaged to be towed so we're having to evacuate the train. It's been awful it really has."
Barry Green, Passenger
Quote MessageThe facilities have all run out. The toilets were full a while ago. I've heard secondhand that people have been told they can use a cup or something and dispose of it down the sink."
Paul Hopton, Passenger
