I do like the Caledonian Sleeper as their trains are so modern and very clean and comfortable.

@simondavey7787 Год назад

Thanks for a very comprehensive review. I am a huge fan of the Caledonian Sleeper; I would thoroughly recommend the Highlander in to Fort William for a longer journey and some of the most stunning views from any sleeper train in the world.

@LonestarTrips Год назад

I definitely want to take the Caledonian again, but sometime in the summer with longer days so I can really appreciate the gorgeous landscapes.

Dunsmuir late at night, on the southbound Coast Starlight…. Woke up from sleeping, and looked right out of the Roomette window. There it *Was!* That trip made me a train-nut.

I'm doing the night sleeper to fort William in August next year

@stephenkeever6029 Год назад

Glad you did a trip report on this train and I appreciate that you have info and get shots of the stations at both ends of the trip! Too bad that breakfast seemed worst than you get on Amtrak. At least Amtrak has brewed coffee.

@LonestarTrips Год назад

I'm so glad you enjoyed! The breakfast really was something of an afterthought, and in all honesty, it may have been just that. My bet is that the original services did not offer breakfast because of the early arrivals, but they decided to add it after the fact, likely after passenger complains/suggestions.

@samtrak1204 Год назад

I rode the Caledonian sleeper in May, 2018 and - other than the scenery - it was nothing to write home about. Looks like things have improved with the introduction of new equipment. Thanks for the review.

@LonestarTrips Год назад

Glad you enjoyed! I have to say the new coaches are a welcome change from their past fleet.

@dennisyoung4631 Год назад

Good that these have electrical outlets. (Needed when you have breathing problems you were mostly born with.)

@TutorialesDePiano2024 Год назад

Nice video

@TutorialesDePiano2024 Год назад

Keep up the fantastic work

@LonestarTrips Год назад

Thanks for the kind words! It's comments like these that really keep me going.

@SirKenchalot Год назад

Thanks for the support, and safe travels!

I'm still to try this new Caley Sleeper, but it certainly is far more pricey than the old one, which was operated by ScotRail and had the delightfully quaint Mark 2 restaurant. this one, whilst plush is just too expensive and that breakfast is just stodgy. Better to head up to Rabbie's Cafe Bar (from which there are a multitude of tours on their minibuses; the 'local's' cafe- Snax Cafe; or the upmarket Burr & Co. just off St. Andrews Sq. Also lots of chain restaurants next door in the Waverley Market (McD's, Greggs etc). I recommend the Deerstalker (Fort William Highlander), but do it in summer, if London bound best to do on a Sunday evening, as the train departs earlier.

@samtrak1204 Год назад

A 5-star hotel on rails would never serve a mediocre breakfast bag with instant coffee. I would definitely complain to management.

At first I thought he was saying Houston.

@LonestarTrips Год назад

Haha yeah, it's a confusing one!

@superhussein Год назад

are there any junkies in euston station?

Aberdeen. That's near Croydon right? ;o)

No it isn't , they're around 571 miles apart !

The Window disappointed me. Amtrak does Windows right.

@ngchikit Год назад

Could you tell me how much did you pay?

@LonestarTrips Год назад

I believe it was £210.00 for the night.

@chasemartin4450 Год назад

@@LonestarTrips ...that's half the price of a roomette on a 1-night Amtrak journey!

@samtrak1204 Год назад

Unlike most of your previous videos, this one is blurry and lacks definition and sharpness.

@LonestarTrips Год назад

Not sure what could be causing that, as I exported the video in 4K at 120 Mbps. I think it probably has to do with the low-light filming conditions and the use of the wide angle lens, both of which introduce noise to the footage.

@chalayan Год назад

Nah, there is no 5-star sleeper train in the UK and their first class is pretty mediocre and basic. If you want to see 5-star sleeper train, the Japanese sleeper train is way nicer and more luxurious. UK should really up their game for their business and first class train.
