Caledonian Sleeper

We had to go straight from there onto a fucking, a, a night train.

We did the Caledonian Sleeper on that.

Actually, yeah, remember that?

Yeah.

Mm-hmm.

So much fun And, um, and then I'm, I'm getting the Caledonian Sleeper back.

Not a cabin, I don't have the budget.

I'm in a seat.

Those sleeping cars would allow for passengers to purchase the required tickets to board the train on Wednesday evening, rest overnight as they made their way north and emerge from the station in Glasgow on Thursday morning, rested and ready for whatever the day had in store for them.

Sleepers are a rarity now, with your options limited to either the Night Riviera from Paddington to Penzance or the Caledonian Sleeper, which operates a fairly similar service to that of 1 Sierra 1-8, Euston up to Glasgow, Edinburgh and the Highlands.

But there were still a decent number of sleeper trains available at the start of the 80s.

In 1975, for example, sleepers were available from London to Leeds, Newcastle, Liverpool, Manchester, Holyhead, Barrow, as well as the South West and Scotland.
