London Sleeper

Well last night I hopped on the Caledonian Sleeper train around 11pm. Check-in was nice and easy, there is a steward at each carriage marking your arrival and preferred breakfast drink for the morning. I made my way to my cabin, not long after I arrived my room mate arrived (I purchased a ticket where you double up with a another female ). We both decided to remake our beds, as they like to tuck the duvet and bottom sheet in together so when you pull the duvet out the sheet came with it, why not use fitted sheets!!!....anyway.....my room mate decided to head for the bar, me, I was off to bed, I figured it might be a long night. Well I have to say I don't remember the train leaving Edinburgh, sometime around 2am I woke up, train must have stopped suddenly or something, and then not again until 5.30am. All in all great way to travel to London, beds are a good size, and I would say the bed is long enough for even Mike to sleep in. Will definitely be the way we travel to London from now on. The train arrives around 6.45am, but you don't need to leave until 8am. With breakfast included it is a better option than a flight with bed berths starting @ £19 if you book well in advance, standard price is £49 still a bargain if you ask me.
