Following this article, I wondered how close you could get to replicating the idea in the UK and the cost? I know there are no Saturday night sleepers.

I've tried without railcard and it doesn't make any difference. I'm surprised at the cost of the fares 3 months in advance, even given that it's the summer holidays.
I'm looking to buy tickets for 2 adults and 3 children with a family railcard to travel from York - London on Sunday 6th August, departing some time between 17.00 and 20.00 and returning on Wednesday 9th August departing some time between 15.00 and 18.00. I can see some advance LNER tickets...
I have some sleeper berth tickets to collect. The email says to collect at the station. I assumed I could collect from York. But I get the following message. The information desk said just show the photo of the screen to the guard. Will this work?
I received a voicemail from GWR yesterday to tell me that the sleeper is cancelled. The news today says strikes are suspended. Does that mean that the sleeper will be reinstated? Thanks
Thanks. That's surprising as the person in the ticket office, who has worked there for at least 20 years that I know of, said there were limited numbers. Is there something I can show to prove otherwise?
I have off peak tickets valid for this journey, with a family railcard, for 2 adults and 3 children. Please can someone give an idea when I will be able to reserve seats? Also, are there likely to be weekend first tickets available to book in advance for this train? I tried to reserve at the...
I’m just at York station buying the tickets but the system won’t let them book the berths. It says reservation successful but doesn’t give any berths or anything.
I’m tryin
Thanks for all the advice. I’m trying to book on GWR for 31st March but it seems to think the sleeper is only from Plymouth to Penzance. Am I doing something wrong?
I'd like a bit of fares advice please. It's for 2 adults, 1 x 16 year old and 2 under 16s. We have 1 family railcard and 1 x 16-25 railcard.
We are looking to book travel York - Penzance.
Outward 31st March to arrive in time for the Scillonian sailing on 1st April, say 08.00.

Not planned for now, but what would happen if I tried to board the Caledonian Sleeper at an unmanned station without a seat reservation and the train was fully booked? Would I be allowed to board?
I am currently on the Night Riviera sleeper on the way into Paddington. I have a ticket bought on the GWR app for this train. It’s running late. So I’ll miss my train from Kings Cross to Doncaster on my advance ticket bought on the LNER app. Should I amend my LNER ticket on the app and pay the...
I missed it by 1 minute. Then rushed over to Victoria for the back up plan of coach to Bristol and onwards. Coach was fully booked. So spending the night in Paddington waiting for the first train of the day down to Cornwall.

I can see big delays on the board for trains to and from...
I'm rushing to get to Camborne to see a relative who is very ill. So, I've jumped on the first train from Doncaster to London which was the 21.42. There's a 23.45 to Camborne from Paddington. Is there any chance of me making it to Paddington in time? Is tube the quickest way? If so, what's the...
Does anyone know if the strike on 30th July is likely to have any impact on 1S45 0927 Plymouth to Aberdeen Departing on 31st July 2022? Travelling between Tiverton Parkway and York.
I'm looking to buy 2 tickets (adults with senior railcards), from Exeter / Tiverton to York / Leeds. It's for 3 nights either from 31st July - 3rd August or 1st August - 4th. I'm looking for the cheapest fare, within reason, so excluding overnight / long stops and departing after say 07.00 and...
