Train departing from platform 15 so headed to platform just after half past eight.
Coach G is right at the front of a very long train; should have used a trolley but eventually got there and checked in with the attendant. Ordered a bacon Panini breakfast for 8:45. My original reservation was for cabin 5 but this has been changed to 23, a bonuis as this is at the nearer end so a shorter distance to walk!
Train set off on time (21:45) so once we were moving I headed down to the lounge car to get a bite to eat. A Wexford cheese ploughman’s sandwich and a coffee. The lounge was very warm and busy so went back to air conditioned, quieter compartment. http://www.scotrail.co.uk/caledoniansleeper/about-the-sleeper.html
A short stop at Watford Junction and now we are off again.
As for the compartment, it comprises a single bed (with another that folds down for dual occupancy, a wash basin, towel, various hangers for clothes, shelf space. However my bags are a bit bulky and won’t go under the bed. There is a complimentary wash kit and bottle of Strathmore spring water.
The weather forecast for Scotland is looking very wet with some bright spells so waterproofs are likely to be in demand. Still it may mean some dramatic clouds to photograph!
