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.

Club Room and Caledonian Double passengers have priority access when space is limited.

Can compartments be combined for families?

Are there seating cars?
