Thanks Dale. It's great to see a less "polished" video and review of the Caledonian Sleeper. Somehow "us lot " being swung around in the go-pro makes it seem more real and less like a commercial. So many other KZbinrs have only good things to say and this (or pretty much any other) service but you highlight some of the problems instead of just saying everything is amazing. The Cornish Riviera sleeper is supposed to be much better in just about every way so I hope to see you try that next (unless you already have - I'll check). For me, I wouldn't pay that much for what you had. In fact, I wouldn't pay half that! A sleeper train where it's almost impossible to sleep (it's not just you) isn't really worth it, is it?

You understand why I refuse to pay the premium to fly first class to see my sibling in New Zealand. I stop off at Dubai, get a good night's sleep, then have myself ready for the other parts of the journey. At the very least if nothing, I'd buy lounge and shower access.

Great video Dale. Personally, I don't think it's worth the money. Like you, I sleep appallingly when I'm travelling. I think I'd prefer to get an easyJet flight up to Scotland.

I’m sorry to hear that. I hope you start to feel better soon.

No! £305 seems way too much. I’d say about £180 would be reasonable value.

It wasn’t cheap and not some thing I would do as a regular thing. Still a nice experience if you like trains

I have done the night riviera. I might see if I can do it again next year. Although I really want to get on the Amtrak sleeper train

For that price, I would have taken a plane. Much quicker, and if you find a cheap ticket, save that for a nice hotel if you need that, instead of spending so much on the train. I mean if it were one the long haul trains like what you find in the US, or other places, paying the price is usually worth it, unless offcourse you take the Orient Express, but the price there is a bit different to say the least.

I agree the plane is cheaper and quicker. But where is the fun in that 🤣

Dale, have you tried melatonin for your lack of sleep when travelling? Might be worth a try and unlike sleeping tablets won’t leave you feeling drowsy.

Crikey ! 300 quid for THAT ? Glad to have seen it, but now that I have, definitely not for me. Any average height person would be unable to get comfortable in such a short bed, and the whole thing seems oppressive and quite claustrophobic. You're definitely a glutton for punishment, Dale. 😂
@dalecharmantravels80573 ай бұрын
It’s better than travelling in a standard seat. At least you have your own space and loo 🤣
@thenflywjaz69173 ай бұрын
Yeah, still, for £300 you could get return flights, have a nite in a hotel with a decent bed, and maybe enough left over for a show or a nice meal. Love that u suffer for your art.😂.😂😂.😂😂😂

I think it was only about £55 extra for the second person. So makes more sense with 2 people

Hey Dale, you are certainly right about Euston, It really is a butt ugly station.
