A high-profile campaign in Fife to raise awareness of the region's direct rail links to London was launched by ScotRail on 9 March.
Staff - dressed in pyjamas, sleeping gowns and night caps - greeted morning commuters at Kirkcaldy and Inverkeithing stations.

They then took to the streets of both towns to distribute hundreds of leaflets about the benefits of the Caledonian Sleeper service.

Willie Cowan, 56, ScotRail station staff member at Inverkeithing, said: 'It was great fun dressing up and we got a fantastic reaction from people here.

'Many were surprised to hear they could catch the Caledonian Sleeper in Fife, rather than from Glasgow or Edinburgh.'

New posters will be put up at Leuchars, Kirkcaldy and Inverkeithing stations as a further reminder that Fife is just one night's sleep away
from central London.

The ScotRail campaign follows feedback suggesting many customers are unaware they can board the Caledonian Sleeper from more than 40 locations
across Scotland.
