Overnight Sleeper Train Across England - The Night Riviera

[@ruadhagainagaidheal9398]

I used that train for 10 years, every sunday night until 2015 , home to St.Ives after a weekend of 18 hour days working in London. I wasn’t alone, I knew quite a few Cornish lads who did the same. We’d meet up at Paddington - sleeper passengers had the use of the First Class lounge from 4pm, with complimentary food and drink. It’s best if you can get a berth in the low numbers, after 10 years I knew a lot of the staff and always managed this. The higher 20 something number berths are too close to the toilets and their drainage tanks for comfort. And like the very low numbered berths, are over the wheels, making for a bumpy, pitching ride. Best if you can get a cabin in the low teen numbers in the middle of the carriage and as far away from the wheels as you can. The glorious , sweet scent in the air when I used to open the window riding through Cornwall in the early morning was the most uplifting thing I’ve ever known.

A little bit of nostalgia for me here. 50 years ago (almost to the day), my father drove us across London and we caught the old sleeper service to Penzance to start a new chapter of our lives. Despite being very young I still remember being super excited about the prospect of sleeping on the train. I also remember falling asleep immediately and waking up in Penzance. Lovely to see the refurbished carriages. Thank you!

As a Cornishman, I was interested to watch this and it didn’t disappoint. Just one gripe: until it is eventually renamed after years of population displacement from the South East, what you called “Hayes South” is actually a town called Hayle.

The locomotive that's hauling your train is a Class 57 diesel. They were originally built as Class 47's back in the 60's, and a handful were reengined in the late-90's/early-00's and were reclassified Class 57. The carriages are Mark 3 sleeper coaches, and are the only such coaches still in service after the Caledonian Sleeper retired theirs.

I remember back in the early eighties getting the sleeper train from Bristol to Edinburgh two or three times a year when I was based in South Wales, my military travel warrant covered the cost of the journey and it only cost me an additional ten or twelve pounds to get a sleeper compartment, it was great getting your head down around eleven at night and being woken up around five in the morning on the approach to Edinburgh.

TY for this video. I am an American, but a strong part of my heritage is from Redruth, Cornwall. At the top of my bucket list is visiting Cornwall one day. I knew that a train would be involved from London, but did not know it took this long. Lol, I have never been on a train. Quite simply, even though we have only a few in Miami, Fl. almost none use it. I have fond memories of my Cornish influence, especially the Cornish pasties. I think if I made this trip, would be tucking one aside in lieu of "train food." The stories from my grandfather would make Cornwall scenery seem like a bit of a heavenly storybook to me. The stories of his briefly doing harsh child labor in the tin mines there, before coming to the USA remind me of a time in many countries that should make us grateful for the protections we have today.

[@theblobmaster332]

If anyone is considering to take this method of travel, here's a few things to bear in mind as I've been on this before. If you're on a tighter budget, I do not recommend booking the coach car for the entire night, the seats if you want to sleep are extremely uncomfortable and I feel that GWR does this so you book the cabin and spend the extra money next time. When being on the train for an excessive amount of time, if you're alone in your carriage or there are very few people, try walking down the carriage for a few laps to stretch your legs, I did this and it worked quite well.

[@adamlea6339]

If you are on a tighter budget, I wouldn't recommend using the sleeper at all. Take a day train and try to find advance tickets, and stay overnight in a cheap B&B, which will give you a much better night's sleep.

[@Huwberts_Emporium]

This video was recommended about 2 months ago and inspired me to take a return sleeper, I spent the day in Penzance today and on the sleeper back now, thoroughly enjoyable.

Watching this as an American is astounding. I live 245 miles from a mall and we do this trip regularly once or twice a month as a “day trip”. I know the US is MUCH larger than most other countries but it never quite hits me until I hear what Europeans consider a ling trip.

[@lilykep]

My sister lives around 350 miles away from us and we drive to go see her regularly and don't really consider it that strenuous of a drive. Of course American roads are built for big cars and interstate travel and British roads are built for horses and wagons, so they're narrower and more curvy which could be more treacherous to drive for a long time.

[@bertgerry2945]

I used this Night Riviera sleeper to get from St Ives/St Erth Cornwall to London Padd in mid June. Very impressed. Relaxing, friendly service and enjoyable 24 hour lounge. The bed is narrow [it needs an extra 2 inches I think] but the mattress very soft. I'd advise anyone using this service to get ear plugs because the ambient noise from the train when you're trying to sleep can be intrusive. The bacon roll was very nice. No fat on the bacon, just lean rasher. I hope to get back to Cornwall this year and use the sleeper again. i found this service by accident. I'm glad I dropped on it.

I once camped in Newquay, Cornwall. I needed to see my girlfriend (now wifey) in sheffield on the second Saturday. I picked up the train in Newquay, changed at Par and then three times more. Sheffield is “up north” but for benefit of US readers, actually it’s not far at all - it’s in the middle of England. This journey took 10 HOURS. I reflected in the fact that I could have travelled across the pond and still had time for breakfast or a drink. This was 2 years after privatisation and the services have deteriorated further since. £96 SINGLE in 1998. future govts need rail investment DESPERATELY.

I caught The Canadian across Canada a few years back. Not only did my travel agent have no idea it even existed, it's also quite a rough ride with plenty of stops thanks to CN's monopoly of the rails and the importance of freight trains (which earns CN money). It's like a hotel on wheels though, 4 nights total with restaurant quality meals 3 times a day. Plenty of on-board entertainment such as live musicians, and you've got the skyline cars to look out from. (It's Canada, expect some good sights.) 5/7 though, would definitely recommend. Long distance train travel doesn't get the appreciation it deserves.

Great Western Railway's "Night Riviera" Sleeper train is a Standard Class product on which cheap Super Off-Peak travel tickets are valid but passengers occupying a cabin nonetheless enjoy access to the First Class customer lounges (with their free hot showers) in London and Penzance/Penzans.

My aunt lives in Penzance and I normally fly into London from Dubai stay overnight in Paddington and then take an early morning train or I fly into Amsterdam from Dubai, stay at Schiphol for the night and fly either to Newquay or Exeter where my aunt picks me up. This might actually save money and for sure will save time. Might try this next time I visit Cornwall.

I love sleeper trains. Me and my mum used to take them from Stockholm to Storlien in northern Sweden. I've never been on one here in England and I'd like to take the sleeper train with my kids

Great video! I tried the Capetown -> Pretoria on the Rovos Rail, it was an amazing experience with sightseeing at Kimberley (diamond mine), great food and bar in the observation carriage. You should give it a try!
