Rolls-Royce vs. the sleeper train: a race from London to Edinburgh [Motoring Research]
Date: 11/04/2020
The Caledonian Sleeper is a reminder of the golden age of long-distance travel. A time before cheap flights and high-speed rail lines, when the journey was almost as important as the destination.
It all sounds so delightful, with the operator promising a nightcap in the onboard bar, a menu filled with fine Scottish produce, a cosy cabin and breakfast in bed as the sun rises over the Scottish countryside.
We arrived at the less evocative Euston Station and made our way to the platform where the train was ready for its 23:50 departure. Only we werent there to board the train, we were there to race it.
