Creator's Key Takeaways

I'm traveling on board the UK's most luxurious sleeper train, the Caledonian Sleeper, from Edinburgh down to London.

The shower is the weakest shower in the world. It's keeps a good temperature, but it is a very weak shower.

I would struggle to recommend it. Obviously, the delay isn't great.

I do think people in that situation, it makes a lot of sense.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book the latest breakfast time possible to maximize sleep.
Consider the Caledonian Sleeper for tourists traveling between expensive cities to save on accommodation and sightseeing time.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Comfort of the bedThe bed is narrow and short; taller individuals may need to bend their knees to fit.
Space limitationsThe room is very tight; sharing with a partner would be a struggle.
Sleep qualityIt may take a while to wind down; earplugs are provided and recommended.
