Caledonian Sleeper carriages get off to bumpy start

A NEW FLEET HAS begun to roll out on the Scotland-London night rail service. The carriages herald a significant upgrade for the Caledonian Sleeper, with features including hotel-style keycards, en suites and a Club Car serving Scottish dishes. However, issues have been reported – from understaffing to low water pressure in the bathrooms. Services have also been delayed or cancelled owing to technical problems. Said one BT reader: “Caledonian Sleeper markets a hotel on wheels, but right now it’s Fawlty Towers.”
