LUXURY TRAIN COMPARISON: BED vs SEAT on the Caledonian Sleeper

Published 2021-08-19
Have you ever seen a train like this before? For our latest comparison video we ditched the sky for railroads and took the Caledonian Sleeper train from Aberdeen to London.

The Caledonian Sleeper is the overnight rail service operating between Scotland and London. Liam bagged the Double Room with a bed and Nicky bunkered down in a regular seat.

Double Room: £395 ($544)

    I love how the sleeper class literally has a bed rather than a seat that becomes a bed.
  • @trainlagged
    Price is still a bit of a stretch considering Liam paid 400 quid and was still charged for dinner. Awesome video!
  • The food should be included in the price especially in the double room
  • Definitely judging Nicky for wearing jeans on a 10hr train journey. Also, it's sad that didn't dim the lights for seat passengers.

    You could have touched on the fact that there are cheaper rooms that being classic (just a bunk bed with washbasin priced at £150) and club rooms (bunk bed, shower, lounge access at either end, free breakfast, priced at: £215)

    I really enjoy taking a sleep on the Caledonia Sleeper. It's like a hotel on rail
  • @GregCurtin45
    Outstanding. Nice to see Liam back... and even nicer of Nicky to take the cheap seat. Well done lads. Thanks for the amazing video experience. Stay safe!
  • The old Caley Sleeper seats were better with First class seats with a good recline, curtains and a reading lamp

    With prices like this you can understand why people most people will fly. A flight from Heathrow or Gatwick to Aberdeen is <£100 and takes 1hr 40. Rail travel needs to be heavily subsidised if the Gov wants people to opt for greener modes of transport

    So happy to see a new video. Can’t wait for the next one!! Great to see Nick and Liam.
  • @TheSerdySailor
    I love how even during this pandemic these good people are getting us travel videos ❤️
  • @iMeyrick
    Great video! It's also worth noting for those who don't know the sleeper well. There are also club rooms and classic rooms, they come with bunk beds (you can have one to yourself or share with a partner).
  • Glad to see you guys cover this. Fell in love with your channel during COVID and been planning a Scotland trip for 2+ years. Eventually we'll get there. I really wanted to see something current about the new CS double rooms so thanks for the review Liam. Also, poor Nicky. Way to survive!
  • Glad to see you guys back and yeah on a train and not in the air!
