Editorial Summary

A family travels from London to the Scottish Highlands via an overnight sleeper train. The journey begins with a tour of their London rental near Soho and a visit to various landmarks including Big Ben and Buckingham Palace. After taking a traditional London taxi to Euston Station, the family boards the Caledonian Sleeper. The creator provides a detailed look at the train experience, including the Family Club Suite, the narrow pathways, the dining car menu, and the challenges of managing luggage in small cabins. They discuss the cost of the trip, noting it was approximately $258 per person. Upon arriving in Inverness, the family explores the city, visits their new rental apartment, and enjoys a meal at a local restaurant overlooking the River Ness. The creator concludes by reflecting on the benefits of the sleeper train experience and preparing for their next leg of the trip to Edinburgh via a high speed rail service.
