What is the Caledonian Sleeper Train really like?
An honest review, cost overview, and what to consider before your trip
“Caledonian Sleeper is a gateway to a world of possibilities with our overnight rail service bringing you the flavours of Scotland and comfort travelling between London and Scotland.” — Caledonian Sleeper
I’m a big fan of sleeper transport, especially trains. And with plush beds, elegant food carts and links to enviable destinations, taking the Caledonian Sleeper has been on my list for a number of years.
In November 2022, I took two trains: the first from London to Edinburgh, and the second (the Caledonian Sleeper) from Edinburgh to London. This is an honest review of the latter, and specifically of the sleeper facilities. I also hope to answer some of the frequently asked questions I’ve seen about the journey, such as:
- Do you get towels or blankets?
- Do the windows open?
- What facilities are there?
