The Caledonian sleeper is a funny one because the trains got to fast so the train now just stops in a siding near Edinburgh for a few hours to let people sleep and continues a little later in the morning
- joking 6y agoBarcelona - Seville did the same, as it went through the high speed rail network, and I couldn’t sleep during the stop because the absolute silence, meanwhile while it was moving I sleeped very well. shame that they closed the line, I recall boarding at 9, having a nice dinner on the restaurant, and sharing the bunk with my girlfriend. Then, waking up, taking a shower in the smallest posible bathroom and be ready to visit the city.

- AndyMcConachie 6y agoThey do this on the ferry ride from Rotterdam to Hull as well. I think the ferry just goes really really slow to make sure it arrives at 7am. I bet they save on fuel doing this as well. If you ever want to go between Britain and The Netherlands this has to be the most relaxing way to travel. Get on the boat around dinner, eat dinner on the boat, have a beer, go to your room and sleep, wake up in your destination. It's even better than night trains.
