As a Londoner, I couldn't help but be amused at the idea of the reverse trip: falling asleep in the gorgeous Scottish Highlands and waking up to dreary old London, preferrably in the rain 😂

@michaelm1153

It’s £30 London to Edinburgh if you book about 6 weeks in advance for a seat

Which makes it one of the cheapest aswell!

@HyperCat72

American here, I'm willing to bet only about 64% of the students at my school would not fit in that corridor

@Fitaed

in Ukraine bunk beds on trains are the cheapest way to travel by train. In other countries - the most expensive

@russguthrie232

Thoroughly enjoyed my night on the Caledonian Sleeper.

@alexispaterson814

Most people don't realise that the tickets for the Caledonian sleeper are being subsidised by the Scottish government by £95 price per ticket.(Telegraph 12.1.2023).

@katrenawilkie2761

Fort William, please……

@Rumade

We did the Penzance sleeper last year. Great for the experience but I wouldn't do it again- tickets for the 2 of us was around £500! And you don't get much sleep as the train leaves Paddington past 11pm and gets into Penzance at about 6am. I found it really hard to sleep, but pregnancy probably didn't help. Had light vertigo the whole way!

@menaleo7872

Had that in South Africa decades ago. I would travel in the school holidays to see my family in Mozambique. It took 14 hrs, and was a steam train. The dining room was beautiful with porcelain white plates and genuine silver cutlery. The food to die for, and served by university students to earn extra money,  dressed in white jackets and bow ties. That was ordinary class, and the ticket was affordable. Today you pay through your nose for that same comfort and service, and there's only a couple left that do that, and mostly for tourists. Wish my children had had that experience.

@MarkSlater-d5x

It's Fort William, not Williams...
I was there last year. I looked at this option it was like to get me back home I can't remember the price but £1,300 comes to mind as you said its 13 hours the normal journey back on the would like 10 hours and about 200 quid. Yes, I'm sure it's an amazing one-time experience. But I got the impression ppl were doing it regularly ppl really do just burn money

Bro went from curing cancer to this

@ARandom_Toad

“I am not referring to the London Underground” is hilarious

@nonchalantdreadheadfr

Fort Williams 😂 in all seriousness tho as a Scot this is on my bucket list

@dizwell

Fort William is singular, not plural. And knowing how much that cost might be useful.

@marklauzon186

I had a BRIT-RAIL PASS. Left Paddington Station, headed to Edinburgh. Slept in a seat. Thereby saving the price of a BandB. Upon arrival I walked up and there was the castle in front of me. Took my breath away. Slept many nights on trains and saved good money that way!!!

@joel.65

Really want to do this one day, looks lovely

@Isaidwhatisaiddear

My husband who was my boyfriend at the time spontaneously took us on this from London just for the experience and we had great time. I barely remember Scotland. We spent most of our time plastered but it was great. I remember we bought some new clothes after our bender and flew from Scotland straight to Italy to see his family 😅🤷🏾‍♀️. 

Sidenote: this guy looks great as a baldy. 👌🏾

@Kluox

As an Australian, I can confirm that 98% of my school would not be able to fit through that corridor.

@DreadFern741

Hey James. I got a buzz cut to raise money for a kid at my school, and its amazing. ( My hair drys in like 10 seconds)

@GT2TCh

In Europe this is not expensive at all, plus in Russia same trains even 100 times better u can go for 1/3k miles for 1000times less money, in Uk 🇬🇧 prices is ridiculous unjustified high !
