Mr Burge said they felt there was hope for a "long-term future" for the theatre but there were more immediate money problems.
Mark Cancian, a senior adviser with the Center for Strategic and International Studies' Defense and Security Department, says the costs of such retrofitting could easily run to $1bn (£750m).Justifying the transfer a week ago Trump said: "They're giving us a gift". The president has also said it would be "stupid" to turn down the plane.
The US Constitution has a provision known as the Emoluments Clause, which prohibits gifts to public officials from foreign governments without permission of Congress. The transfer has not received congressional approval.The president has argued that the plane transfer is legal because it is being given to the US defence department, and not to him personally. He also insisted he would not use it after leaving office.The current Air Force One fleet includes two 747-200 jets which have been in use since 1990, along with several smaller 757s.
Trump has expressed his displeasure at the aircraft manufacturer Boeing, which has been contracted to provide the White House with two 747-8s directly.His team negotiated to receive them during his first term in office, though there have been repeated delays and Boeing has cautioned that they will not be available for two or three more years.
Trump surreptitiously visited the Qatari plane in Palm Beach, near his Mar-a-Lago resort, just a few weeks after the start of his second term in office.
The president insists there is no quid-pro-quo involved and that the plane is a simple exchange between two allies.Margaret Mullane, MP for Dagenham and Rainham, said: "There are more than 30,000 out-of-hospital cardiac arrests in the UK each year, and currently less than one in 10 survive.
"It is great to see our local railway taking steps to protect our community in this way, and I would urge everyone to take a moment to find out where the defibrillator is at their local c2c station."All defibrillators were available on platforms during the station's opening times, alongside the operator's new Bleed Kits.
c2c's managing director, Rob Mullen, said: "Of course, our hope is that the people of our local communities never have the need to use these incredible pieces of equipment, but if they do, we are proud to be able to offer it."A council leader has survived a second attempt to oust her in as many years.
