The Caledonian sleeper is hell on earth. I did it once. The only worse experience I had was a rotten old YHA hostel in the 90s where I stayed in a bunk room with three people with bowel disorders. And it wasn’t much worse.
- eynsham 4y agoWas that on the new trains?
- gw99 4y agoWas 2019 so I expect so unless they replaced them since.
- eynsham 4y agoHm, the Mark 5 carriages were introduced in April and October 2019, so it could have been either just from the year.
- petesergeant 4y agoI've done both, both were equally miserable tbh
- ghaff 4y agoI did it in about 2019. I shared a sleeper with a friend. Yeah, the sleeper was tight and the dining car was crowded. But getting on after dinner in London and arriving in Edinburgh certainly beat flying IMO (as a tourist).
- Symbiote 4y agoWhat was wrong? I only used it twice, and it was fine. Only fine -- it's a train, not a 5 star hotel. But the bed was comfy enough, I slept OK, and the scenery in the morning was really nice.
