If I suggested that the government spend £60 million on revamping a train service so that passengers can travel slower and still pay more than double the cost of a plane ticket to the same destination, you would probably say, “No thanks.” And yet, from a purely selfish point of view, I’m also delighted that the Scottish government has wasted such a massive sum on subsidising the revival of the Caledonian Sleeper train.
I traveled on the Caledonian Sleeper train three years ago. When I bordered the train I swore that I was in the same sleeper carriage that I booked in 1974. Same carriage same service, but a welcome simile!
still a better investment than HS2
This is great news. My wife and I took the Sleeper from Edinburgh to London last fall and the smelly, cramped plastic boxes were quite an unpleasant experience. We look forward to trying it again.
