🇬🇧Trying the British First Class Sleeper Train from England to Scotland | The Caledonian Sleeper 

Thanks for watching as always! You can easily support me by "Super Thanks" button. "Super Thanks" is to the right of LIKE button. Your support will help me to continue and improve my video.🤝

I love to watch your videos after I get home from my 12 hour night shift. I find them really relaxing and interesting to watch. It's become a little early morning bedtime ritual of mine

Thanks for releasing this video on my birthday Kuga! Hope your trip on the Caledonian sleeper goes well.

Dear Mr. Kuga. Thank you for taking us on your Journey on the Caledonian Sleeper. You made me happy and most of all you made Japan Happy.. may you have good journeys and stories to tell in the future. 👍👍👍

I traveled on the old train back in 2014, I felt like a Zombie in the morning, I didn’t have a room as money was tight, but I managed, loved my time in Glasgow, I was a volunteer at the Commonwealth games.

I always find your videos relaxing and joyful. The comments are interesting and sometimes funny. It is very comforting to watch. Welcome to Scotland.

"Interview with the Seagull".... 😂 This was such a lovely journey. Thank you for taking us along. Hope you will really enjoy Scotland

Your videos are THE best at helping me get into a nice, chill mindset before going to bed. Thanks for all your hard work and for taking us along on your trips!

I visited Scotland in March which was a dream trip for me. I still can't really believe I was there! I spent a lot of time on the train as a solo traveler not confident about driving on the other side and it was a very peaceful and beautiful experience. I've been really excited for you to get to travel farther afield again and do so many iconic train trips, it's very cool to see people do stuff you know means a lot to them Edit: I just saw the end! There are so many seagulls everywhere there!

I am so pleased you came to Scotland! I am also very interested to know how you felt it compared with Japanese trains. Many thanks for uploading Kuga!

I like the concept of the captions he puts on this video. Even though there’s no voice it’s very intimate and mindful. Relaxing to watch too.

At least you understand that we use different dialects over here in Britain. I understand that the gap between American English (which I think might be the one you are used to, please correct me if I am wrong) and British English is about the same size as the one between Kansai Japanese and Tokyo Japanese. The reason it says "31% Cocoa" on the chocolate bar label is due to a law that food sold in Britain must contain at least 20% cocoa solids before it can be sold as chocolate. The train also stops at Watford Junction to pick up passengers. Preston is pretty much the last English station before the Sleeper heads to Scotland. That's some real Scotch Mist. Scotland is the coldest home nation of the United Kingdom. Of course it is as clean as a bullet train. Both our sleeper trains are luxury trains. The shoe polisher is because some people actually ride the Sleeper on business, and it helps to look your best before a big meeting. Yes, it is pretty common to mix sugar or honey or golden syrup into porridge to give it some taste, you are doing it right. And the whole warming effect is why porridge is a popular hot breakfast in Britain, especially during winter. That porridge oat bar is useful if you are "on the go". Motherwell is one of the first Scottish stations you see on the Sleeper route. And there is no jetlag when riding a train.

I cannot believe it wasn’t raining in Glasgow. It’s almost always raining 😂

Thank you for the amazing movie and amazing experience. I felt like I was traveling with you. I am waiting for the next railway films. Take care, greetings from Poland.

As someone who lives in Scotland, I'm glad you got to try out the new Sleeper trains. They only just replaced the old stock a couple of years back. Compared to the old tired stock from the (early 90s?), this new sleeper is clean, slick, modern and has a lot of up to date facilities to cater to todays passengers. You never got a shower/ toilet in your room in the past, or USB ports or anything else for that matter. On the plus side, great to see they provide food, drink and toiletries from Scottish Suppliers! Mackies make brilliant chocolate, and our water is ace too. (Personal note: Shame they didn't supply Strathmore water!) The menu with a Scottish-y theme is good, and porridge and a hot drink never goes wrong.

what i like about your videos is the fact that you are so polite & always THANKFUL :) this is nice

Thanks for my first visit to your channel. I loved the overnight train ride from London to Glasgow. Hope to see more of your travels. Thanks for the subtitles as I am deaf. Cheers from Australia.

I had been following up your videos and quit surprised that you'd come to the UK. As a Chinese living in the UK, your videos in Japan brought me the exotic sensation yet a bit familiar (for sharing some common ground culturally) But this video is the other way around, it is familiar to me but exotic for you being in it.

Great video, I watch all your ones on Japan's trains - glad you enjoyed your trip on the sleeper. There is also a daily Caledonian Sleeper which runs from Euston to Aberdeen / Inverness / Fort William that I often use (but not in the most expensive room!) The Fort William one is the one I like best - it leaves London about 21:00 and gets to Fort William about 10:00, and goes through some beautiful mountain scenery in the morning.

I stay just outside of Glasgow! Was a surprise when I seen your video with Glasgow in the name. I hope you love Scotland as much as I do living here! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿❤️

Great seeing you come to my home country after watching you travel around your home country. I hope you enjoyed your visit to the UK

It's so great to see you traveling outside Japan now!

Thank you so much. I live in a village not too far from London , but I don’t travel there unless I’ve been kidnapped 😊 . Scotland is an absolutely beautiful place. Loved this 😘

There is a strange soothing feel when I watch your videos. Thank you Kuga.

Thanks Kuga for letting the world that us British can do train travel properly.... a good video.

Fantastic!! A really big bed for one person. Have never seen before. That's a great idea for the future. Other countries may have a look of this concept.

I hope you enjoyed your time in Glasgow, Scotland; I was stationed in Dunoon, Scotland which was around 36 miles/58 kilometers west of it. Took the trains (especially the sleeper but they weren’t nice back in the late 80’s to early 90’s, as they are now), buses, ferries and some planes, everywhere, when I was there. Loved Edinburgh and Inverness too; shame I didn’t see Nessie (The Lochness monster) when I was there but I tried. The Scottish people left a good feeling to my time there in my soul and yeah, there seagulls everywhere there, like in Florida (where I Live). 😅 Thank you for sharing your time with us all and stay safe in your overseas travels. 🥰😇

Always a pleasure to watch your calm travel videos. So thank you as well!

My dad used to use this train once a week and I always wondered what it was like. So glad you made it to the uk

With the Club Car not serving meals you should have got a little bit of money back on your ticket, you can claim from the Sleeper offices if you haven't :)

$382 is not bad given what a hotel room and a train would cost.

My favorite part were the beautiful morning countryside landscapes. I saw heather growing near the track’s side! Also, I like the souvenir amenity bag’s artwork.

There is also a daily night sleeper service to Fort William in the Western Highlands. It leaves London Euston at about 9 pm. The scenery after passing through Glasgow is awesome! In the Summer season you can connect at Fort William with the steam train service to Mallaig, also a very scenic train journey which passes over the Glenfinnan Viaduct, made famous in the Harry Potter films. And as well as the Glasgow service shown in this video, there are sleeper services to Edinburgh, Kirkcaldy, Dundee, Montrose, Stonehaven and Aberdeen on the east coast of Scotland.

Sleeper Train Window The darkness and the hints of light make it feel like I’m a photon traveling through the never-ending universe (Beautiful poetry and my favorite part) 🎇⚛️

Being familiar with sleeper trains in Britain, will entirely recommend the Cornish Riviera, I was interested in knowing your thoughts as a tourist. A brilliant video.

Whilst you were asleep , this train halted in between stations for a few hours prior to commencing its journey 😂.

Dear witty loveable Kuga. Mind you, it boggled my mind to have paid so much for such a short journey with hardly any sleep involved. Still, it seemed a fairly smooth ride and, yes, the Scottish scenery was lovely. I wait to see where you go next! Robert, UK.

I'm now officially homesick! Soar Alba!

Greetings from Canada 🇨🇦 thanks for the presentation about the train trip from England to Scotland

I'm so happy to see you visit Scotland! I hope you got to see the Highlands during your visit. St. Pancras is one of my favourite stations, it is so beautiful...Euston, not so much! I did the Caledonian Sleeper 17 years ago, so I should really do it again. I usually end up getting the day train when I visit London (you can sometimes be lucky and get first class cheaper than a normal seat on that train!). The Caledonian Sleeper can be pricey which is one reason I haven't done it in so long. I'm hoping the next video is you doing the day train up into the Highlands as the trip to Fort William or Mallaig is beautiful. I like that the sleeper uses the Arran Aromatics brand for its toiletries - they do really nice products. I think they have the shoe cleaner because the train is popular with hillwalkers. I hope you enjoyed your visit to Glasgow!

Ooh, you stopped in Preston briefly overnight! That's very close to where I live. 😊 I hope you enjoyed your experience visiting the UK and on the Caledonian Sleeper!

Scotland is beautiful, Ireland also,you must have enjoyed your travel on Caledonian sleeper train 🚃👍♥️ Waiting for more travels from Europe ☺️

So muss ein Nachtzug aussehen. Keine Betten übereinander und viel Platz. Alleine die Ausstattung ist schon toll. Da haben die europäischen Züge noch viel nachzuholen Asmus aus Schweden 🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪💯

I'm 49 years old and have never had reason to travel on a sleeper train before now. I should put it on my bucket list.

Can't wait to watch more videos of your trips

Happy to see you back my friend, I missed your videos !

I would like to have a sleeper train on a day ride. Would be a perfect time to spend in a comfy bed with beautiful view outside during the ride.

I like your videos in Europe! Hope you had a good time!

Thanks for the ride folk !!! 🇺🇾

I’m so glad your first trip to Scotland was smooth and the weather was nice for you! Hope you had a lovely time in my country 😊

Ohh my God. My memories become fresh of thus journey. Very scenic track

Thanks for sharing this video! I enjoyed watching.

Wow so exciting beautiful I wish I could experience this myself

A very good presentation. Thank you

The double decker buses 🚌 look very fancy👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Thanks for sharing your journey. Narrow hallway would make this train difficult for someone using a walker (I use it about 50% of the time).

Next time, you must try the Intercity Night Train from Milan to Syracuse accross the Italy, in deluxe excelsior night sleeper coach, for a 19 hours of ride from north italy to south italy 💪🏼

Thanks for sharing this experience

Glad to see you visiting the UK. Hope you had a nice holiday

lol. so many videos of westerners trying to navigate japan. and here you are managing a porridge

as someone from glasgow. its a beautiful city with lots to do. :) hope you enjoyed your visit

Good reviews, the sleeper looked great,. Definitely try the night Rivera sleeper to Penzance., That's excellent too ☺️, Edinburgh is a beautiful city to visit then Newcastle too

Dream trip! Thank you for the video!

I’ve lived in the UK for over 20 years but I never knew about this sleeper train. How fascinating.

Watch out for those Glasgow bin chickens. They'll have ye.

Thanks for taking me along on your journey. I enjoyed watching!😊

Thanks for the ride and that first class sleeper looked very posh.

What a wonderful video. Thank you..

Yay! Glad to see you back in my watchlist Kuga san! Hope you're having fun and looking forward to watching your adventures in Europe! Come to Australia sometime but don't travel on our XPT service, you'll be very sad I think!

It was fun watching. I felt like I was there!

impressive porridge eating skills; and, I like your snazzy jacket ✌

30年ほど前にこれに乗って父とエジンバラに行ったことがあります。上下寝台の二人部屋でしたが体の小さめな日本人には余裕のある広さで心地よかったのを覚えています。朝は係の人がポットに入った熱い紅茶とビスケットをトレーにのせて持ってきてくれました。たまたま私がアーセナルのポロシャツを着ていてアーセナルサポーターの彼はニコニコご機嫌で親切にしてくれました。今も通勤でユーストン駅を使うので、カレドニアンスリーパーを時々見かけるとまた乗りたいなぁと思いますが値段がめちゃくちゃ高いんですね。何年か前に改装したんだなと外から見て気が付きましたが車内とてもきれいですね。ただこの国は素晴らしい設備を導入してもメンテナンスが行き届かなくてしばらくすると故障で動かなくなってる、ということがよくあります。色んなボタンを押したり自動靴磨き機を試すシーンではちゃんと動くかなとドキドキして見てました(笑)　グラスゴーはどうでしたか？私もグラスゴーには行ったことがないのでサッカーを見に是非行ってみたい場所の一つです。寝台車ではとても行けなさそうですが(笑)　これからもがんばってください。

The "breakfast" looks like a complete joke. The bed looked fantastic though.

Thanks for this wonderful video. I lived in Scotland way back in the 60’s so great to see the modernization of Glasgow central Station. Warm memories 🙏🏻🇨🇦🙏🏻 28:15

This journey seemed so calming & beautiful. Some British trains can be so luxurious and would be as good as the ones in Japan 👍 Thank you Kuga!

That's a lot of money for 2 hours sleep. Much better price and nicer than US Amtrak sleeper.

Excellent.

The bathroom is called a Wet room, there is a drain for the water in the floor. I thought Japan had wet rooms as well ? It’s very covenant to have a bathroom & shower in your room. Most of the time , it’s located in the hall , and you must share with many people. You also have a limited amount of time to shower.

Welcome to the UK and I hope you have fun exploring.

Very exciting trip I love the room just like the hotel I like to have a trip like that lovely

These stations are way better then the ones in the US!

Welcome to the UK enjoy your stay

BEST UPLOAD 🎉❤❤

Love ❤️ the video thank you 🙏 and the seagull!

Hi Kuga! It was worth waiting for this, one of my dream train rides. Btw, it's past 3.00a.m. per my time zone. Surprised you chose this timing for the premiere! Thanks a lot for sharing this ride with us! Can we know what's next? More train rides? Or plane? 😉

thankyou. You showed this train journey very well.

This is the first time I am seeing your beautiful face Kuga! So handsome! Can't wait to see the video now!

What a fantastic and amazing video you made! With wonderful sub-titles and comments. It is great to see 'our' train through the eyes of someone from the Land of the Rising Sun! Usually, I watch videos of YOUR trains in Japan and want to travel on them. Your English is better than mine so thank you! (You mention another train which runs during the night; I think there is also a train from London to somewhere on the east coast of Scotland too!) Is your phone Japanese? I hope so!

I'll definitely like to do this with my kids 12 and 20, as they also want to go to Scotland and sleeping trains are a lot of fun

I am watching your fantastic train journey. Super nice.

A positive outlook, uk presenters have said how The corridor is a little narrow, this gentleman from Japan, remarks , 'more room to sleep in' . Thank you. Patrick, Northamptonshire

thank you for showing us this great trip from london to glasgow. the room looked great, i too would love to have a personal toilet/shower . back in 2019 i travelled to the Baltics, and there was a shower over the toilet like in your room. i found out that you MUST close the toilet lid and then shower, as it got absolutely soaked with water. i dont like this idea, but if your in desperate need of a shower... it will do. look forward to more of your travel vids

Wow beautiful sharing

The room looks like a hospital room.😊

Hi, I'm from England, but I've travelled to Japan many times. (Actually, I live near the station for the Harry Potter tour.) I'm glad to see you enjoyed your journey. Everything looks very nice on that train, but the price is absolutely inexcusable. I'm sure you would pay half of that for the same experience in Japan - and that was only a one-way ticket. Anyway, I subscribed. Enjoy your time in Scotland, it's a beautiful place!

yeap. stirring in the honey when the porridge (oats) is hot is the right way to eat

This is a great video. I have travelled in the standard cabin on this train before. It has bunk beds and no shower or toilet (but you can use the shared toilet cubicle, and the shoe shiner, as shown in this video). There is a shower block at Glasgow Central Station where I think it costs £5 for a hot shower in a large space that's not moving, so really worth it after a night on the sleeper!

I live in Japan now, so it's funny to see you in the UK. I'm from Edinburgh and most of my experiences of trains in the UK have been bad lol, but Japan is always fantastic for trains!

Hope you enjoy your time in Scotland, I’m super jealous!

Justin seagull at da end..😅
