Luxury British Train Experience on the Caledonian Sleeper in 11 Hours

[@frothycoffee]

Great video! I think you missed it but there's a fold out table under the sink if you ever travel on the caledonian again, so you can have a proper sit down meal and drink in your room 😂 looks like you had a lot of fun, I'm looking forward to traveling on the caledonian with my dog later this year

[@chloeandludvig]

Thank you!! Ahhhh I think I may have missed the fold out table! Haha, good to know for next time because I'll definitely be back on here! That's super exciting you're doing it with your dog - how awesome :)

[@somdrum]

I've just discovered your channel, and I'm so glad that I did! I LOVED what you were saying about enjoying traveling with your partner, but that he simply doesn't appreciate some of it the same way you do. My partner is the exact same, and sometimes I feel sad that we don't do more travel together. This was such a great reminder that I can totally book things in for myself and enjoy the solo adventure!

[@chloeandludvig]

Aw I'm sp happy you discovered the channel too! Welcome :D And 100% - if there's something you want to do... and you know you'll appreciate it more by yourself, go for it I say! ;)

[@SuperCurious]

You are like a traveling Lorelai Gilmore. The highest of complements coming from me. Absolutely loving this ❤

[@chloeandludvig]

Whoa, I just looked her up and WOW we look alike haha. Thanks for joining me!!

[@ladysky2883]

That is soooooooo coooooool. Yes I would travel up to Aberdeen just for that sleeper. Worth it for the bathroom alone. I love how you don't edit out the figuring out how things work. It's what I would do. Love the toiletries bag.

[@chloeandludvig]

It was soooo coooool 😆 glad you would also do the same! Cheers for watching - thanks for the lovely comment!😃

[@bedlam8159]

@@chloeandludvig hate your youtube compliance in the shower, total OTT cleavage modesty, which I suspect you don't give a s**t about lol

[@Glitzzzkrieg]

I loved what you said about traveling solo! I have weird anxiety about doing stuff alone (especially getting out of my safety zone by traveling) so I'm really working towards getting to the point where I can just, like, do all of this leisure traveling alone and actually enjoy the journey rather than feeling anxious. You make it look SO fun and liberating!

[@chloeandludvig]

Ohh it’s a work in progress! It feels very strange when you first do it but after a while you realise there are so many positives to traveling solo! I’m addicted now 😆

[@glimylove1]

Seems like Ludwig is holding you back! Enjoy your travels

[@adamjennings8853]

I think you are my travel twin,, i love it so much and can not understand why so many people hate it. I also love staying in hotels, are you a big fan of that as well

[@chloeandludvig]

Haha love that!!! Huge fan of hotels 😎

[@traveler320ak7]

Staying in hotels is one of my favorite things!!

[@jello3456543]

I've actually taken a ski bag with me as a sleeper passenger on Amtrak since the California Zephyr goes right past Winter Park Resort and stops in Frasier (I imagine it isn't hard to get from Truckee to the Tahoe area resorts either, but I've not done that trip). They either put the bag in an external compartment or occasionally toss them into unused rooms. They'll also take ski bags as checked baggage, but they don't do checked bags in Frasier or Truckee. Don't know how well it would work as a coach passenger at a non-checked baggage stop, but I've never had a problem as a sleeper passenger.

[@chloeandludvig]

That's super helpful info, thanks for sharing!

[@hatchsp]

This is totally something I would do and I actually have done something similar. In 2016, I traveled with a friend from Bath to Paddington on GWR on a Sunday afternoon. I then spent the evening in the lounge and boarded the Night Riviera to Penzance, overshooting my final destination of Fowey (that isn’t on the rail line). I did all this on purpose so I could experience the Night Riviera, have a nice morning walk along the coast in Penzance, then train to St. Austell to hire a car for 4 days in Cornwall with a home base in Fowey. People thought my itinerary was crazy, but I totally loved it.

[@chloeandludvig]

This does sound awesome!! What a lovely trip! (Totally with ya haha). The night riviera is on our list of trains! How was it?!?

[@hatchsp]

@@chloeandludvig I loved the Night Riviera. Very comfortable and pleasant experience. The only issue was that I traveled in November and there was an issue of wet leaves on the rails. That delayed us somewhat between Exeter and Penzance.

[@danaoltmanns1777]

I would definitely do the same thing and re-route for the cool experience of a double bed on.a train 🙂

[@chloeandludvig]

Oh yay! I’ve got a few people saying this now! Good to know there are others who love train experiences that much )

[@cherisepatterson6961]

My dream is to sleep overnight on a train! I love your videos! 🙂

[@chloeandludvig]

You can do it too!! Thank you :)

[@Rentheflower]

Oh 100% I just booked a train to catch the new night train to Vienna I get it!!!

[@cawfeedawg]

I love how much joy food gives you. ♥

[@chloeandludvig]

It sure does! It’s my second favourite thing in the world 😆 first is coffee

[@kymhorner]

Just discovered your channel while looking for decent vids of the Caledonian Sleeper. Love this video - great quality and content, plus you are soooo funny and entertaining! Look forward to checking out more of your channel 😃

[@chloeandludvig]

Hey Kym! Yay - that’s great news. You should totally book a trip yourself, it was a unique experience for sure. Ps. thanks for enjoying my humour haha

[@AussieInUS]

Enjoying your content and especially your solo travel. I'm an Aussie living in the US, missing downunder, and a cruise fanatic. Keep up the great work!! Such fun to watch and addictive.

[@chloeandludvig]

Thanks for leaving such a nice comment! So glad I can provide you with some entertainment and travel inspiration. I do enjoy my solo travel - lots more to come this year ;)

[@GLeeFleming]

You are such a great commentator! Brava! You and Lucky Ludvig would also enjoy business class on Virgin Atlantic, called Upper Class, with a great lounge at LHR! Possibly a ride in a large car from London is included at an extra charge!

[@chloeandludvig]

Thank you! I'd love to try Virgin Atlantic!

[@BethanyWalker04]

Absolutely love your vids!!!! Xx

[@chloeandludvig]

Yay thanks Bethany!!!🥳🥳

[@Olbear040]

double the snacks!!! love you.. so much fun

[@mgarringerkcify]

Thanks for posting, I want to start traveling alone. I watched your videos on traveling across the USA on Amtrak.

[@chloeandludvig]

Oh I’m so glad to hear you enjoyed the solo adventures! Travelling alone is so much fun! But definitely takes some getting used to 😁

[@SuperCurious]

I prefer your solo trips. They are so inspirational and your enthusiasim is so authentic and infectious.

[@chloeandludvig]

So nice to hear that!!

[@gaylepolovitch1951]

Such fun to travel with you😂😂😂😂😂

[@COMEINTOMYWORLD]

Great entertaining video. xx

[@chloeandludvig]

Thank you so much!! 😍

[@traveler320ak7]

I would travel up to Aberdeen to get that awesome room for the trip south!!

[@chloeandludvig]

Ahh yay!! Good to know! I say, it was definitely worth it ;)

[@Stacey721]

That bed looks so comfy!

[@chloeandludvig]

It was suuuuper comfortable 😊

[@chriswood1811]

I absolutely would do the same too! Loving all your travel videos, great work!

[@chloeandludvig]

Yass! I have a few people who'd also do this -- glad I'm not alone there, haha.

[@kellinomnom]

Would totally do this

[@chloeandludvig]

Wooo! :)

[@Charlie_Waffles83]

Hey!! Thanks for the videos!! Me and the wife just found you a few days ago.. feels like we traveling via you.

[@chloeandludvig]

Yay! Thanks for joining us! Excited to have you join us for the travels 😆

[@titanbengal]

Many thanks for making and sharing your video. Really enjoyed this.

[@chloeandludvig]

So glad you enjoyed it! 😁

[@joydawg]

I booked my trip months ago and all of the doubles were taken already. I booked the club room instead Edinburgh to London. I will take it in mid-September. It looks like the Waverly Station lounge is still closed, but they have a nearby lounge set up at a hotel.

[@chloeandludvig]

I had the same issue when trying to book my double room! The seem to sell out very quickly!! Hence why I opted for a last minute change to a more inconvenient location haha. I’m sure the club room will be awesome (photos look cool!)

[@T3CHGY007]

I have never been on a train! We actually don't have any trains where i live anymore for they got rid of the railway system here along time ago!

[@chloeandludvig]

No way! Do you hope you hope to go on one someday?! :D

[@erinejones3567]

Just found you, loved your video ✌️

[@chloeandludvig]

Yay! Thanks for watching and welcome to the channel!😁😁

[@dazzypops]

It's got to be something to do with those curtains behind that bike, for sure.

[@patriciadubosky718]

Would totally do that itinerary! Odd though at that price point that there isn't a small desk and/or additional seating in the room as having to dine on the bed is verboten to me!

[@chloeandludvig]

Yes great point! We’ll I guess they do offer their beautiful restaurant cart to sit properly and eat a meal at a table, however I chose to stay in my room😊 great to know you’d also take the same route as I did!

[@patriciadubosky718]

@@chloeandludvig Ah, I was wondering about a restaurant car so yes, that's good to know as an option!

[@chloeandludvig]

@@patriciadubosky718 Yeah absolutely, I popped a few snips of it in the video, it was really nice and super quiet! :)

[@gabbymcclymont3563]

Love it 'you'l be having Irn Brew then' so wonderfuly Scottish 'yeh see yar bum Coke'.

[@chloeandludvig]

Haha, I didn't actually try one in the end, but I wish I had! We can't wait to discover more of Scotland :D

[@Erica_Brenda]

if you want to wake up feeling more rested, sleep in intervals of Three hours. You will feel more rested after three hours than four hours. More rested in 6 hours than in seven hours.

[@chloeandludvig]

Oooh hadn't tried that - I'm usually terrible at napping and short sleeps - the longer the better usually ;)

[@timomarkson]

Your ticket was so expensive because you’re paying technically for two people to share that one room you’re in. If you took an extra person with you, it would’ve cost you zero more pounds

[@chloeandludvig]

Yep - that's a great thing about travelling in a pair, but I was still determined to do it solo ;D

[@timomarkson]

@@chloeandludvig I do understand because when I go on it for my birthday in August, I will be going on my own and I’m still getting the double room that you got because of my wheelchair

[@The_Farwall]

you're so fluffy, very cute

Tell me your in Scotland without telling me your in Scotland.: A whole fridge of Irn Bru😂

[@chloeandludvig]

Hahaha exactly 😜

[@luciamaclean5891]

Don’t you have a window on the Caledonian Sleeper?

[@chloeandludvig]

I sure did!

I did londoñ to Inverness in a seat

Oh wow how was that?!

@@chloeandludvig great i was doing a tour of Scotland and Northern England

Wait! what? There is a real life Diagon Alley???

[@chloeandludvig]

There sure is! I didn't know until my friend took me there in Edinburgh!! Very cool :D

[@Erica_Brenda]

OMG Something for my bucket list! hehehe

[@cawfeedawg]

I wonder how many people in the world were conceived on those mattresses? Best not to think about that.

Oh now that I would love to know! What a unique way to pop into this world

[@miko362]

What’s your thoughts on Irn bru 😂

[@chloeandludvig]

Haha I didn’t actually try it 😆

[@Veiled_Lepidoptera]

As much as I love the idea of a double bed on a train, I'd sleep in a coffin if it meant I could have a window. ... that sounds weird....

[@harrisonmeyers2928]

I don’t see aaan elephant/s

[@drewgilmour3489]

Ok I am sold The Great USA s Amtrak is third world compared to this, I hearCanada is good 👍

[@chloeandludvig]

Yay! Glad I've talked you into it! You'll love this experience!

[@Stacey721]

Third world is a stretch. The views are more accessible in Amtrak roomette or bedroom with the big windows and you have seat and table in room. You get your food on real china now, all three meals included with sleepers, plus salad and dessert with dinner, complimentary water, coffee, soft drinks, plus a complimentary alcoholic beverage everyday. Plus, a Hot shower! Lol Her doible bed does look so comfy though on this trip.

[@GLeeFleming]

Yes, the “Canadian” is great Toronto-Vancouver. “Prestige” class is very pricy, though

[@GLeeFleming]

Regular sleeper is fine!!
