Ever since then, it’s been downhill all the way, and today it feels like a con and a ripoff. We booked, for £800, a double cabin on the Caledonian Sleeper, London Euston to Edinburgh, return. Not easy. The website is a nightmare. The menus, which I looked up online, talk about the company’s passion for Scottish food culture, blah blah blah.
But the illustrations on the “club” menu, which look delicious, bear no relation to any of the items on offer. And the actual food on the plate, or in its plastic tub, bears no relation to the description. I suspect it is all made in advance and reheated in a microwave. We ate in a soulless dining car, bereft of linen, silver, nice lighting, friendly staff – all that makes dining out a treat. Breakfast is included, but I wouldn’t recommend it.
We’d been pleased, of course, to hear that each cabin had its own loo and shower. But the design is laughable. The towels are stored in a drawstring bag hanging in the corner of the loo/shower, which makes opening and closing the door a struggle.
The reason they are in a bag, and not on a shelf or rail, is presumably because you need to remove them from the room to stop them getting wet if you want a shower. This is because the shower is directly over the loo, which has a heavy hinged shelf that drops down over it. You sit on this to take the shower.
