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 () connections with London, even. corrour.co.uk/station-house/

in Fort William. Is it just me or are the wheels of the 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. A class 66 pulling the into Fort William this morning.

Good Morning Scotland. 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 holder) to the (between London and Penzance)? But I guess these trains are clearly less popular than the , 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?
