Caledonian Sleeper

The Caledonian Sleeper connects London with various destinations in Scotland and offers a comfortable overnight travel option. The train provides comfortable sleeper cars, but also seats for budget-conscious travelers. There are basically two lines: the Lowlander and the Highlander. The Highlander travels further into northern Scotland while the Lowlander serves destinations including the Scottish metropolis of Glasgow.

What sleeper classes are available?

There are three different sleeper car options: the Classic Room with bunk beds and washbasin (toilets at the end of the car), the Club Room with identical layout but with an additional private bathroom with toilet and shower, and the luxurious Caledonian Double with a proper double bed and private bathroom. Seating cars are also available for smaller budgets.

Is there a restaurant car and what about breakfast?

Yes, the Club Car is a full-service restaurant car. You can dine there in the evening and have breakfast in the morning. Choices range from snacks to the traditional Scottish breakfast with eggs, bacon, baked beans, haggis, and black pudding. Club Room and Caledonian Double passengers have priority access when space is limited.

Can compartments be combined for families?

Yes, in the Classic Room, adjacent compartments can be connected by a connecting door to form a sort of suite. This is particularly convenient for families with children. Additionally, each part of the train typically includes an accessible sleeper car with wheelchair-friendly compartments.

Are there seating cars?

For smaller budgets, the train also includes seating cars, which provide an economical alternative to the sleeper cars. Tickets are available from less than 100 euros. The seating cars also offer space for bicycles.

How are the washing facilities equipped?

The sanitary facilities vary depending on the compartment type. Classic Rooms have a washbasin in the compartment, while toilets can be found at the end of the car. Club Rooms and Caledonian Doubles offer the additional comfort of a private bathroom with toilet and shower. For guests with reduced mobility, each section of the train includes accessible compartments with appropriately equipped sanitary facilities.
