London to Scotland by Night

The Caledonian Sleeper is more than a train — it's a Scottish institution. Running nightly between London Euston and five Scottish destinations, it offers a genuine overnight experience where passengers board in the evening and wake refreshed in Scotland, ready to explore.

The service operates on two main routes: the Lowland Sleeper to Glasgow and Edinburgh, and the Highland Sleeper to Aberdeen, Inverness and Fort William. The Highland Sleeper splits en route, making it a fascinating operation to witness at Crewe station in the small hours.

The train features private en-suite rooms with proper beds, a Club Car restaurant, and comfortable reclining seats for budget travellers. After a £150 million fleet upgrade, the Caledonian Sleeper is the most modern sleeper service in the UK.
