Does anyone know if the Caledonian Sleeper is fitted with WiFi or any other entertainment systems for seated passengers.

No, it is not.
However the whisky in the evening and scenery in the morning is all you need (if travelling north)

Mostly Glasgow-ish. Mostly.

Absolutely. Depending on the timing and carriage you're sat in, 60 inch widescreen views of the Highlands are available, beautifully 3D-rendered in real time and at 4k resolution.

As said, no. There's also no 230V sockets in the cabins- there's a small number for public use in the lounge car.

Smaller & less power-consuming electrical devices, such as phone chargers, can often be used with a UK-to-Continental Europe adapter plugged into the shaver sockets in the cabins. Whilst this is not officially noted, it appears to be a very well-known trick and by no means forbidden (though doubtless at one's own risk!).

In which case, it'll have to be the whisky and the scenery in the evening - all in one go! :p


Unless you don't/can't drink whisky/beer/wine and you fall asleep before leaving Inverness. ;)

Or just use a euro-usb socket. Can usually pick them up for a few £ on Amazon.

I gave up carrying adapaters a few years ago after I'd bought a supply of various plugs and cables (eg US - cloverleaf or US to Kettle) for the countries I visit.
