Some of the oldest trains in Britain are running on one

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

That's according to the UK Government's Office

The figures show that the Caledonian Sleeper,

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

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

The Caledonian sleeper service between Scotland and London has run

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

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

carriages in Britain. Last Christmas, staff on the service took

strike action over what they described as train defects which

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

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

demonstrating a prototype earlier this year. A spokesman told the BBC:

Meanwhile, figures show that ScotRail's average rolling stock

ages 20 years, making it slightly younger than the national average.

They too are undergoing a new modernisation programme. These

electric trains will soon take passengers between Edinburgh and

Glasgow. Virgin's fleet, with an average age of 30 years, says it

will begin using new trains in 2020. Women who binge drink are portrayed

more negatively by the media Researchers at Glasgow

and Glasgow Caledonian universities claim that news stories about women

drinking excessively are given more than double the amount of coverage

than men and are stigmatised. It is pictures like these

not as much as you have Images of women binge drinking

appear more often in the media, even though

men drink more. Things may happen on nights

of binge drinking such as ripped clothing and a scraped knee,

frequently for women. There is language

more than the argues used to but men drink

twice as much twice as often, and twice as many

alcohol-related illnesses. Why does women's behaviour hogged

the headlines? A picture of a guy lying gutter in a sweatshop, says it

all. A picture of a woman dressing up with someone holding her hair as

she vomits, that is a fantastic picture. This festive season,

perhaps the only way to avoid embarrassing pictures is to drink

responsibly, regardless of your gender.

which has lain derelict for nearly two decades.

Ambitious plans are underway to restore an historic Fife theatre

which has lain derelict for nearly two decades.

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

Following in the footsteps of generations of Fifers.

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

to imagine how grand this

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

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

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

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

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

Here we have a copy of the local theatre were big news in Kirkaldy.

free press, with a couple of illustrations, one in particular

showing the grandeur of the auditorium. This grainy photograph

of the main stairway is one of the few images remaining which shows the

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

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

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

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

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

at the top of the table Partick Thistle beat Dundee 2-0,

and it was a 1-1 draw Lets get the weather. Christopher

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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