I was looking for a railway photo matching with the #ESPENG hashtag (⚽️🏃♀️) and finally found one: a Spanish-built #CAF Mk5 car for the #CaledonianSleeper from #London Euston, waiting to be loaded on a ship at #Bilbao Port.
Photo taken, from quite a distance, one morning in August 2018, after a ferry crossing from #Portsmouth.

@mahrko auch unabhängig vom aktuellen Bericht aus #Schottland und dem #CaledonianSleeper ist die #Zugpost sehr empfehlenswert!

Had this in the #CaledonianSleeper #diningCar going o Scotland two weeks ago and now here in London while trying to have fun the weekend before starting my journey (using train and ship #Interrail ) back home to Finland. Very good. #Achentoshan.

Sounds exactly like my kind of place. ”The Station House is accessible only by train or a twenty-mile walk”. Must stay there some time. Ping @lkr . Has direct night train (#CaledonianSleeper) connections with London, even. https://www.corrour.co.uk/station-house/
#Bahnzeit in Fort William. Is it just me or are the wheels of the #CaledonianSleeper carriages rather small?
You really realise how small the British loading gauge is when you notice that the driver’s cab on a locomotive is at platform height. #train A class 66 pulling the #CaledonianSleeper into Fort William this morning.
Occasionally sunshine even! Porridge for breakfast. #CaledonianSleeper #Interrail
Good Morning Scotland. #CaledonianSleeper Woke up between Dumbarton and Cardross, by the mouth of River Clyde. Slept well, even if the bed is a bit short, as can be expected in a British loading gauge sleeper. Shower is spacious and works nicely.
Apparently it is impossible to purchase on-line a sleeper supplement only (as an #Interrail holder) to the #NightRiviera (between London and Penzance)? But I guess these trains are clearly less popular than the #CaledonianSleeper, so it might be possible to do buy a reservation over the counter just a few days before travel, when in the UK? How well does that work, anybody have experience?
