i know back when i used to do sleepers no one cared about who got on or off but has anyone tried boarding the caledonian sleeper at set down only points for example Crewe or Preston southbound?
Technically, since it's not a booked stop, they probably would take a dim view to it.So if i had a ticket from Inverkeithing to Euston and got on at Edinburgh it would be hard for them to stop me because i have a valid ticket for that train just got on a stop later

It would depend largely on the goodwill (or not) of said RPI. I think one would have a stronger case with a season than a normal ticket, but either way I don't think the NRCoC makes a distinction.What happened if you got on a train and got RPI'd with a ticket for a pick up only station?

With the sleeper, are the doors released at Edinburgh? Given it's not an advertised stop there's no need for them to be.
Aye, they go silently from bed to bed at 3am checking everyone's wallets for a valid ticketRPI on a sleeper?
But if you look at some of the routes, such as Edinburgh - Carlisle, the sleeper franchise will get no cash so may not be too keen (unless you drink in the bar )
North of Edinburgh, it is a pity that dwell times don't allow it to be used by passengers wanting a late service from Inverness - Edinburgh for example.
