Comfy bed, drink and food provided. Noisy train, so I couldn’t get much sleep.
“Worth it for the experience “ but don’t expect to sleep… on reflection probably better to train during the day, enjoy the view and the journey then arrive in the evening and get a good nights sleep… it took a couple of days to recover from the lost nights sleep…
