Sleeper to Fort William with a disabled friend

[adrianboult]

Hello.
I wonder if anyone can help me?
I have a friend who is disabled and has a disabled railcard.

I would like to take him from Euston to Fort William on the sleeper in May and if possible use their adapted cabin on the train.

Could anyone please help me with the discount available to him (and myself if I am travelling as his carer?).

Also is there a second bunk in the adapted cabin - or would I have to share a double with someone else during the journey?
I am a member of the Scotrail advance club and know that they have the £99 per person first class return offer on until May, but didn't know if this may be the easiest (and cheapest) way to do the journey. At the moment he is not in a wheelchair, but may well be by May, hence my enquiry about the adapted cabin.
This is probably blindingly obvious to regular users of this forum - but not to me!

I have been trying to get through to the Scotrail accessible travel line all day, but am not having a lot of luck.

Thanks in anticipation.

AFAIAA There are two berths in the disabled adapted compartment - you will get the upper berth.

See here for some more general info. and here for a panoramic view of the train.

Sorry to hijack your thread, but where did you get the details regarding £99 return for the sleeper ??

Yes, that offer I actually took up last year, 1 first class return London to Inverness, I'm an Advance club member, but I can't actually see the offer available now.

Is it available now or has it been offered & I've missed it?

I've been looking each week since the start of the year to see if it had become available again but not seen this offer. I'm hoping it will be on offer again this Spring as it was last year.
