I didn't get much sleep, but this beat a flight. I'd do it again, but only under a few conditions. In my opinion, there's something alluring about the idea of an overnight train ride -"

"watching picturesque scenery while winding down with a dram of whisky, then being rocked to sleep by the motion of the carriage, resting until you wake up at your destination. At least, that's what I envisioned when my partner and I booked our tickets on the Caledonian Sleeper, a famous train that links London with several destinations in Scotland.

A couple rode the Caledonian Sleeper overnight from London Euston to Glasgow in a Caledonian double en-suite that included a shower, a toilet, and a bed. The trip lasted about eight hours. Sleep was limited, but the overnight journey was preferable to flying. The experience combined expectations of scenic views, whisky, and being rocked to sleep with the reality of modest rest. The train connects London with multiple Scottish destinations. The suite was the most expensive option. The traveler would take the train again, but only if certain conditions were met.
