Which countries (or trains) do that? I've taken night trains in four different countries and none of them worked like that. I wish they did.

- TylerE 3y agoUK. They have a lot less sleepers than they did 30 or 40 years ago though, when most of the main lines were limited to 70-85mph, and not the 125 the majors ones are today. What they'd also do, on multi-stop routes, is arrange the passengers by destination, back to front, so when they hit the first stop they'd just uncouple the back car or two, then continue on.
- PaulDavisThe1st 3y ago> They have a lot less sleepers than they did 30 or 40 years ago though, I could be wrong, but I think you meant to write "they only have 1 sleeper" (Euston -> Fort William/Dundee) [ EDIT: ah, two routes. There's the one to Penzance as well ] It does not behave in the way previously described (at least, it did not when I took it in 2019).
- TylerE 3y agoThe Caledonian still runs London -> Edinburgh.
- PaulDavisThe1st 3y agoYeah, I mispoke with Dundee. The Caledonian runs to Fort William as its furthest extent, but also splits somewhere in Borders to get some carriages to Edinburgh.
