I thought that

In East Africa we had East African Railways which was first class luxury. I have not found trains or service that good anywhere in the world so far. We used to travel first class two days to reach the coast. We looked forward to train ride rather than destinations. First class service was superb. Beddings were spotless, dining cars were luxurious. The smell of food was intoxicating throughout the first class. Food was delicious quality food. Tea service was pure silver, china and silver cutlery. The staff wore proper uniforms. I guess those days are gone and cannot find it anymore. Now the Chinese built speed trains replaced those luxury trains and the journey is cut short so no overnight journeys. It is like riding in a bus.

Please do the Scotland train. It is refreshing to see a train review from a non train person, who still present it professionally,

£55 add on for the sleeper is a bargain given you get snacks and breakfast which is worth at least £20. Great idea for a trip some day.

​@@sarahcarter9061 Yeah, I'm similarly finding life a challenge, just as you and the guys posting above are, Sarah. I have terrible insomnia due to one reason or another, and although the "sleep hygiene" advice is to not watch screens, I actually find watching a channel like Tim's genuinely helps me relax. Not sleeping is bad enough, but to then start to feel anxious _because_ you can't sleep is a viscous circle, so having something like Tim's travels to concentrate on really does help me mentally, which in turn makes me feel better physically. I hope you, the OP, and everyone replying, finds the strength to keep on pushing through all of the pain, anxiety, uncertainty and frustration, and emerge the other side able to live your best lives, because all of you deserve it so much. All the best from a wide awake Yorkshireman!

I don't know if feeling sleep-deprived the following day would be worth it to me, and for first class there was a lot wrong with it. Why was there no power? Why was there no running water to your room? Why did the lights fail to turn off when you returned to the toilet? Even so, I was surprised it wasn't a lot more expensive. Thank you for sharing your experience, Tim, I absolutely loved it, the train looked magnificent, and Paddington Station is a special place. Of course I'd love to see the Scottish sleeper experience. I have a feeling it might be better with proper food rather than packets of snacks.

I was so excited to see this video. I used to work on the railway in London and regularly take the sleeper service from London Euston to Aberdeen (which you should definitely try and do). It was good to see a travel perspective rather than a train lover perspective. the Caledonian sleeper service has been quite recently upgraded too! I have also been on overnight trains in Thailand, Vietnam and Russia! it is one of my favourite ways to travel.

Can't wait for this 👍👍👍

The new Spanish-built Mark 5 carriages used by Serco Group plc for its Anglo-Scottish "Caledonian Sleeper" services have tiny wheels and inside-frame bogies, which give a lousy ride. In the "Club Rooms" (ie en-suite cabins with toilet and shower) waste water sloshes around in the underfloor retention tanks. There's very little room to store bulky items of luggage in the Classic or Club cabins because the washbasin isn't covered by a hinged lid and there's no shelf above the window. Yes, the Scottish scenery is fantastic on all of the three "Highlander" routes (Aberdeen, Inverness and Fort William) but you only get to see it in high Summer because (of course) you're travelling overnight. Personally I believe that Great Western Railway's Standard-class "Night Riviera" Sleeper is a superior product at a cheaper price, but you need to try both to make a valid comparison,

I'm off on the train to Cornwall myself on Saturday. Bham New Street to down to St Erth, then I'm taking the famous branch line into St Ives! I can't wait!!!

I'm looking forward to watching this one! I looked into taking this train, only problem I found, was that the average price of a hotel in Cornwall was £250 a night (high season)! I go to Spain, for a week, for the same price,

I have done the sleeper to Penzance, Fort William, Inverness, Aberdeen, Glasgow, Edinburgh, and even Stranraer Harbour in 1984, plus Oslo to Stavanger, Leon to Barcelona, Copenhagen to Hobro, Rheinfelden to Paris Est, but the best was Vancouver to Toronto (4 days, with breakfast, bunch, lunch, afternoon tea, dinner and supper included). I have done every railway line in Britain, Ireland, Norway, Portugal, Canada, Alaska, most of Europe and some other bits of America. It can get quite additive !

Unless you are going all the way to Penzance (more likely Exeter or Plymouth) then surely the sleeper is not really worth it especially as you can't rely on getting a decent length of sleep time.

Many years since I did sleepers to Penzance and Scotland, so was very interesting to see what the current day offers. Would be great to see a comparison with the East Coast sleeper. The advantage of using the sleeper is that by travelling overnight you gain a day at your destination outward and a further day before you return.

Can sometimes get the fare a bit cheaper if you book in advance. Not sure if you found, but the bottom bunk has a fold down tray on it and can convert to a sofa if you're not using it.

When I lived in Penzance I used this service a couple of times. It was comforting to be able to sleep and not worry about your suitcase and bags. Being woken up with a tasty breakfast and freshen up in your room. It's a great way to travel. The first class lounge was shelter in the evening, before the trip and you can board early and get settled before the other passengers. Highly recommended.

Im glad you showed the lounge aa I'd booked first class to bath one year and the lounge was closed. Also you could've given the lady who brought your breakfast a visual treat by not wearing a top.

I live in Penzance and walk past the sleeper, waiting during the day very often. It seems great value for a first class experience plus a bed. It takes nearly six hours during the day to get to Paddington, because even the high speed links stop at local stations (think stopping at Reading x 10).

Definitely do the Scotland sleeper train! Great video.

I really like this train, but for two things: 1) The bed doesn't need to be that narrow. There's a back rest thing they could remove. A small thing, but very frustrating when it only runs at night. 2) The journey is too short. It doesn't depart London until midnight and they wake you up for breakfast at 6:30.
