@dalecharmantravels8057 did you get a seat? The only time I ever upgraded to first class from KGX to NCL with my wife last year, all the trains were to pot & we were full & standing until York. No sign of any staff though I think they'd have struggled to get through the train. It was a shame but we did get a full refund eventually.

Thanks again for a video which is different to the many others reporting on Cal Sleeper. The product is expensive and now aimed at wealthy travellers and especially overseas visitors. The latter save a fortune on accommodation in either London or Edinburgh. Personally I can't sleep on overnight trains so would prefer a daytime train.

I had wondered about taking the sleeper at some point - just for the experience, really - but I thought that I mightn't like it and may struggle to sleep. Your experience has helped make up my mind against that idea, mainly because the older I get, the more I like to be quiet and comfortable.

Nice one Dale. Last time I did the Sleeper, it left over 2 hrs late & couldn't access 1st Class lounge, as closed! Like you, I'm a bad sleeper and those cabins are warm! Did well trying out the top bunk and shower! When lived in Glasgow, I used to travel by sleeper, so I'd have the full day to enjoy London. Now live near Alnmouth, so be good to hear about your Edinburgh to London journey! Your face(I'd be the same) when you didn't get your bacon and egg roll! Yes, I'd probably do the Sleeper again in the future, but now tend to travel during the day. Looking fine, all the best, thanks for sharing! 😊 👍

Loved this video Dale! I'm fascinated by the sleeper trains. Nearest I get to it though is when I see the southbound sleeper running very late at Crewe. It looks quite luxurious, compact and well designed use of the space. I had a feeling noise would be a problem when trying to sleep though. Cost isn't exactly cheap but it's a premium way of traveling a long distance.

Out of all the video reviews of this train, yours is simply the best. Why? Because it consists solely of raw footage where you directly talk to the camera, with no text, voiceovers or annoying background music that are present in so many other videos. Above that, I like how open & honest you are about your experience onboard. Sorry to hear about your lack of sleep, hope it goes better next time. Thanks for producing awesome content dale, looking forward to seeing your future travel videos. Cheers.

At one time on standard class sleepers, U could share a cabin with a stranger and if unfortunate circumstances crop up, not necessary with the same sex(obviously would be sorted) but has been known to happen. Unfortunately you were in first room in carriage right above the bogie, anyone else going on sleeper should ask to be relocated to a cabin more in centre of the coach.

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?

Abrassively pleasant and funny videography there ; Dale! Id really appreciate if train maintainers could give the actual costs of this because am pretty sure; 300+gbp is way overpriced honest and accurate summation. To me 50pounds might be okay for all that. Editor tip: if you use the x264 codec make sure it is set to crf=16 constant rate factor and the resolutions are as big as possible when uploading; you should get lossless seeming videos.

Dale, really enjoyed this video and your other videos. I do like that you used a wireless mic; however, did you use it with the noise cancellation? The audio sounds a bit off (like you're in a tunnel or something). Either way, keep them coming! Also, not sure I would do this journey myself. I think you said it was ~£300 for you, would it be double that for 2 people? If so, that might be worth it if I was traveling that way, but I don't think I'd go out of my way to do this train.

Very watchable, amusing that a train driver jumps on a train for his holiday xD Would love to do the Caledonian sleeper one day, it's not cheap but very low-stress way to get to Scotland and back which is appealing for me.

Have to agree, maybe I've got unrealistic expectations, but when dale said he'd do it again, I'm sitting there going why? So it was uncomfortable, noisy and your food was wrong... and I don't think I'm a snob, if anything I'm the opposite, I'd feel cheated out if my money. If I spend money I want value from it.

Well Dale first time we have slept and showers together but the experience was all together favourable now as for Caledonian sleeper I must agree with all that you said, did you ever travel on the old mk3 sleeper coaches because i found they were much more comfortable compared to the new ones, but as I find none of the new age rolling stock can compare to the mk3 design, anyway great video and nice legs sexy ha ha thanks mate happy travels I'll be watching you, mark d

Not worth the money dale, unless you get the “romance” of it all, ie a long journey where you have time to sit in the lounge at the start, like Inverness Fort William cause you won’t sleep for five hours, so absolutely pointless. A day trip, same number of hours, a decent sleep in a hotel and a pub breakfast far better.

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.

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.
