Some of the oldest trains in Britain are running on one

:00:17.:00:19.

of Scotland's most iconic routes, and could be harming

:00:20.:00:21.

That's according to the UK Government's Office

:00:22.:00:24.

The figures show that the Caledonian Sleeper,

:00:25.:00:27.

which takes passengers from Scotland to London, has carriages which are,

:00:28.:00:29.

But the operating company says improvements are just down the line.

:00:30.:00:33.

The Caledonian sleeper service between Scotland and London has run

:00:34.:00:49.

since at least 1900. The rolling stock has been updated since then,

:00:50.:00:53.

of course, but with an average age of 41 years, it operates the oldest

strike action over what they described as train defects which

:01:03.:01:05.

were a threat not just a comfort but to safety. Sir code, which took over

:01:06.:01:13.

the franchise in 2015, has promised to introduce new trains in 2018,

Meanwhile, figures show that ScotRail's average rolling stock

electric trains will soon take passengers between Edinburgh and

Ambitious plans are underway to restore an historic Fife theatre

:03:51.:03:52.

which has lain derelict for nearly two decades.

:03:53.:03:54.

Work is taking place to transform the King's Theatre in Kirkcaldy

:03:55.:03:57.

Following in the footsteps of generations of Fifers.

:03:58.:04:12.

In '77, they did a massive refurbishment of this room.

Stephen Barber tries to bring back the glory days and even in this

dilapidated state, it is still possible

:04:35.:04:36.

to imagine how grand this

:04:37.:04:37.

There is a lot of work to be done, definitely. It is a three-year

:04:38.:04:45.

project and we are taking our time, hoping to retain the essence of the

:04:46.:04:49.

building and that we don't damage some of the really historical,

:04:50.:04:54.

original stuff. Work on the theatre began in 1904, and it opened two

:04:55.:04:59.

years later. The plans for the theatre were big news in Kirkaldy.

showing the grandeur of the auditorium. This grainy photograph

:05:17.:05:20.

original grand interior of the building, but it closed in 2000 and

:05:21.:05:25.

quickly fell into disrepair. Now, the vision is to create a 2000-

:05:26.:05:30.

seater venue to attract touring bands. The stage is also big enough

:05:31.:05:35.

West End- style shows. A restaurant, bar and function suites are also

part of the plan. The team it could transform the town. The idea and

:05:43.:05:45.

concept is to have a unique landmark to bring people back into that. We

think that live entertainment would do that in the form of a place this

size. Right now, the priority is to get the roof back on to keep out the

rain and the pigeons. The hope is this theatre will be entertaining

generations to come. There were four games

in the Scottish Premiership tonight. Celtic stretched their lead

has the forecast. It is breezy in the north-west,

:06:15.:06:37.

meaning the temperatures shouldn't fall too far. South of the border,

:06:38.:06:44.

much like last night, mist and fog forming. Some disruption likely if

:06:45.:06:48.

you are travelling south of the border. Quite chilly here. For us,

:06:49.:06:53.

not quite as cold because of the cloud cover in the breeze. Tomorrow

:06:54.:07:05.

morning, a dry start. A touch of frost still holding on in some

:07:06.:07:09.

places. Breezy on the West Coast with some rain in the Western Isles.

:07:10.:07:16.

In the wins will be strong and south-westerly, gusting to gale

force later on. There will be brightness coming through, most

:07:20.:07:22.

likely around Moray and the north-east. South of the border,

:07:23.:07:30.

largely dry, but there could be stubborn mist and fog throughout the

:07:31.:07:35.

day, holding the temperature back. In Northern Ireland and the far

:07:36.:07:41.

south-west, 7-9 C. Similar for us in Scotland, perhaps 10 Celsius in any

:07:42.:07:45.

brightness. Windiest in the far north-west, with rain moving in as

:07:46.:07:51.

we head towards Friday. On Friday, the high-pressure slips away, but

:07:52.:07:55.

that weather front will let its presence be felt. Fairly wet through

:07:56.:07:59.

the far north-west over the course of the day. The rain moves to the

:08:00.:08:04.

south. A cloudy day four of many, brighter in the east. Temperatures

:08:05.:08:08.

perhaps into the teens. For Hogmanay, we expect rain to move

:08:09.:08:12.

south through the course of the day, and by the bells, it should be south

:08:13.:08:16.

of the border, leaving most areas dry. Behind it, cold air. The risk

:08:17.:08:22.

of a few wintry showers at times. New Year really does personify

everything that's great about us. MUSIC: I'm Gonna Be
