- We rode the Caledonian Sleeper from Inverness to Crew and this was our experience. We booked the Club Twin bunk bed room and we were moved into the Caledonian double bed room after an issue. The Caledonian Sleeper is a luxury British overnight train that takes you from Scotland to England and back. Is it worth it? Judging by our experience and the reviews of other passengers, I struggle to justify the price. This was our first time trying this first class British sleeper train and our experience could have been better.
Being one of the few UK sleeper trains, The Caledonian Sleeper offers a memorable experience of luxury. The bunk bed sleeper rooms and double compartment, double bed rooms include a shower and a toilet. There is a Club Car with a restaurant on board. This sleeper train also offers overnight seats, which are the cheapest way to travel on the Caledonian Sleeper. I am surprised at the number of extremely positive reviews on TH-cam, given that the reviews on other sites are extremely mixed. The Caledonian Sleeper does have the potential to be amazing but our experience was extremely mixed. When compared to other unique, British first class trains, the Caledonian Sleeper can definitely be better. If you want to travel overnight on the Caledonian Sleeper train, I recommend booking the trip up to Scotland rather than to England as you can wake up to the incredible views of the Scottish Highlands.

I've never done the sleeper but I'd like to one day - maybe if they have an offer or something.
Back in the 70s I used an overnight service from Edinburgh to London. It wasn't a sleeper service, and had quite cheap fares. It left at about 11pm, I think, just older normal stock pulled by a diesel loco as I recall, with some compartment coaches. There are no such services nowadays. It wasn't too busy and it was possible to doze off on the bench seats. The train also carried the mail, I think, because there were long stops at stations like Doncaster en route. It wasn't quiet and my sleep was a bit fitful, but the coach was warm and I arrived at Kings Cross refreshed, well before the rush hour just in time for a fry-up in a greasy spoon on the Caledonian Road. I'll never forget the experience of this night train.
Thanks for a detailed review. In truth as you were getting off at Crewe it would be better to take a daytime train(s) to enjoy the fabulous Highlands and Lake District scenery en route.
Nice video ma'am. I saw on of your another video about tourism in Scotland. Which was so impressive.
Thank you! 😊❤️
No question, it is worth to try if you have money and time to spare. Otherwise, it simply cannot be economic by any means... last year, we travelled to Inverness from Liverpool by airplane, and the expenditures were: £44/person, and 41 minutes. Bargain. Have a nice travel anyway,

I've never been on a train my whole life. But I love the sound of them at 3AM
And sleeping on one sounds so cozey
I love the sound of trains! Something nostalgic about it 💕
Yay Marianna is back❤❤
🥰🥰🥰
awesome vlog Mariana once again ❤🎉👌
Thank you ❤️
Wow 😮
From other videos I've seen, the Caledonian Sleeper gets mixed reviews, but I do think that it's an experience worth trying. Few reviewers get anything near a good night's sleep, but it would be more restful than sitting upright in a seat all night. For some people, the convenience of an ensuite is worth something extra.
Indeed. The seating option is grim. Seems the lighting on board is too bright to get a decent sleep whilst seated.
cool video
When will you update your vlog? I cannot wait!
Its expensive and has very mixed reviews. I've tried this and the Night Riviera from Paddington to Penzance. The NR is much better and £/mile more value for money.
Considering that the current cheapest price to get from Inverness to Crewe on a day time journey is £251 for two people the price isn't that bad.
Not if you book an advance fare
not to be rude but its Crewe
Take them God dam masks off
Richard, a therapist may be in order if you feel so triggered at the sight of a surgical mask. Perhaps some repressed, childhood trauma you need to deal with?
