The Night Riviera train run by GWR is England's only sleeper train, running from London Paddington station to Penzance, Cornwall, in western England. In this video I review the whole experience, from the GWR First Class Lounge, to the cafe car, to the sleeper cabin for one to two people. We also talk about how much the Night Riviera Sleeper Train costs and if it's worth it.

So glad to see this video! I recently drove to St. Ives & Penzance in Cornwall with my family, on a road trip through the entire west country... and OOF that was a long drive! Never again! When I learned about the history of the train from London, I thought Yep that's what we're doing next time! (Side note: I'm American, and one of my best train rides ever was the Coast Starlight train from San Diego all the way up to Seattle! I brought two books to read, but instead I just stared out the window or chatted with delightful fellow passengers the whole time... it was a great experience!)

Fun fact - if you're occupying a cabin on the "Night Riviera" (English) or "Koskador Ruvyer an Nos" (Cornish) then you're entitled to complimentary, unlimited shortbread biscuits and hot chocolate in the Lounge Car, which stays open throughout your eight-hour, 325 mile journey between England and Cornwall.

Exactly how I remembered my experience in the Sleeper from Paddington to Penzance back in August. Was a nightmare to book the cabin option given I had a Great Britain rail pass but I’m glad I persisted (and thanks to the Avanti West Coast customer service officer at Manchester for helping this clueless Australian.

I remember taking a overnight sleeper from Lisbon to Madrid in 2018. The difference is their was 3 other people in the same room. Nevertheless it was still worth it. Luckily I was able to sleep overnight and it got very cold 🥶 once the train 🚂 reached the mountains 🏔.

I thought that you might have seen, and remarked upon, the bilingual writing on the exterior of the Mark 3 Sleeper carriages - Night Riviera Sleeper in English and Koskador Ruvyer an Nos in Cornish! The last person raised from birth to speak Cornish as her first language was Dorothy "Dolly" Pentreath of Mousehole, who lived from 1692-1777. There is a Sleeper Lounge with complimentary refreshments and showers at Penzance/Pensans, which I've used on a few occasions. Unlike Serco Group plc's "Caledonian Sleeper" trains you don't need a First Class ticket to travel on GWR's "Night Riviera" as it's completely Standard Class, meaning that cheap Super Off-Peak Singla and Return tickets are valid on it. And, unlike the Caledonian Sleepers, the light breakfast served to your cabin in the morning is complimentary!
@loveandlondon
@loveandlondon Год назад
I'm pretty sure breakfast is complimentary on Caledonian too! Thanks for watching.

Sounds like you and John had a fun trip, personally at times it's better than traviling by bus. Sadly, they don't have greyhound buses in Canada anymore, and I can honesty say speanding over a 120 hours in a seat with a disscusting bathroom; never again. Did John enjoy the temp living accomodations?
