Is the Caledonian Sleeper Expensive. The Caledonian Sleeper is an expensive train to ride, and the high cost is justified by luxury feel and updated train cars. While more expensive than other sleepers in Europe and the USA, it is the most updated experience you can get on a train and is worth the price.
The Caledonian Sleeper has been set by a catalogue of problems since its new fleet came into service last April on the Edinburgh and Glasgow-London Lowlander routes. They include damaged pipework affecting the new showers, technical glitches locking toilets out of use, poor room cleaning, staff shortages and strikes.
How long does the Caledonian Sleeper take? The Lowland Sleeper takes 7.5 hours to reach Glasgow and Edinburgh. It leaves London Euston at 11.50pm (11.28pm on Sundays) and arrives into Glasgow and Edinburgh around 7.20am.
