About the sleeper

ScotRail’s Caledonian Sleeper service operates six nights a week, Sunday to Friday. It gives you the chance to travel overnight - and arrive at your destination refreshed and ready to start your day.

Travel overnight in comfort

Our service links London Euston, North West England and over 40 locations in Scotland. And even before you set off, we make sure that you’re taken care of. As you board the train, our friendly hosts will greet you, show you to your comfortable cabin and make sure you have everything you need.

Enjoy a range of services

• ScotRail’s Caledonian Sleeper offers
• Air-conditioned single or twin berth cabins, as well as seated accommodation.
• Cabins with soft beds and comfortable duvets, bedside lighting, washbasin and shaver point. 
• Our Lounge Car has a pleasant atmosphere where you can stretch your legs before bed, enjoy a light snack, hot or cold drink or even a nightcap from our well stocked bar.
• Light snacks, available from our room service selection.

All Caledonian Sleeper services are non-smoking, including Lounge Cars. To find out more about the route, take a look at our Caledonian Sleeper map.

If you’re travelling with children

All children under 16 must travel in a twin berth cabin with another member of their group, or have sole occupancy of a cabin. If you’ve chosen seated sleeper accommodation, remember that an adult must accompany children under 16.

Children under 5 travel free, but please note that there is no separate berth or seat allocated to them, and cots cannot be set up due to lack of available space within the cabin. Passengers travelling with children under 5 must have sole occupancy of their cabin.

If you’re travelling with a pet

We only allow pets in sleeper berths where the owner has exclusive use of the berth and pays a cleaning charge for each single journey, and pets cannot be taken in the seated sleeper coach.

If you wish to travel with your pet, you need to book your ticket through ScotRail Telesales on 08457 55 00 33 or at a staffed station – no less than 48 hours in advance of travel (72 hours if travelling on a Sunday). Failure to do this, or to present your letter of authority to travel, will mean your pet won’t be able to travel.

If you’re travelling with an Assistance Dog

Assistance Dogs are allowed to travel in sleeper berths free of charge. They are not allowed in the Seated Sleeper section - however, a free berth upgrade would be provided to someone wanting to travel in the Seated Sleeper section, with no further charge for cleaning.
