Travelling by Caledonian Sleeper: I've got a standard seat while my bicycle lavishly soujourns in a 2-bed sleeper cabin with white bedlinen (where I was asked to put it).
You can't say they don't appriciate bicycles on this train.

@seatsixtyone Never had breakfast in my room, always going for the full Scottish in the Club Car! Why wouldn’t I take advantage of those big windows to see the sun rise over Scotland? 😍

This is great news, if the services are cheaper and they bring back bargain berths.

My new employer's HQ is just outside London, so this could mean I avoid having to fly, which is still cheaper and faster than any other option I've looked at.

Caledonian Sleeper rail service will be nationalised. An arm's length company of the government will take over the franchise from Serco on 25 June.

ft.william has announced there is no running water on the train due to technical stuff. This stuff happens, but combined with the also ‘broken boiler’ at ft.william since November meaning no showers this is turning into a PR disaster for folk visiting scotland . I know the sleeper is a private company and so is the station (that’s my point).

Am on board. Am feeling tired, but also (as per usual) feeling excited about travelling through the night. It just never gets old. I’ll be waking up in England.

Tá muid ag fanacht le dul ar an Caledonian Sleeper anocht. Mar is gnáth tá fadhbanna ann, ní bheidh uisce ag an doirteal ach táim ag súil go mbeidh sa chith folcadh. An trua ghéar nach mbeidh an dtraen seo ann sar i bhfad, tá gá leis.

Sitting on the train typing up my blog post.
The is by far and away the best train service in the UK. Staff are always super friendly and helpful.

I'm glad and feel very lucky that I took the Caledonian Sleeper that left Glasgow on Wednesday night. If I had taken it one day earlier, I wouldn't have arrived in London.

Man wakes up after night on Caledonian sleeper train to find it never left Glasgow
