Hi
I am planning on going on a all line rover in August and insted of going home every night we wanted to get the sleeper. Am wondering weather i could travel on the caledonian sleeper. How old do you have to be to travel on it?
Thanks.

Unaccompanied I think is 18. There is no limit if you are accompanied by an adult IIRC.

Not quite:

It is not recommended that children under 16 travel without an adult in either berth or seated accommodation. Where children under 16 travel in berth accommodation they must either share a twin berth cabin with another member of their travelling party or have sole occupancy of a twin or single berth cabin.

As far as I know, if you're using the Seated Sleeper then you may travel alone if under 16, but bookings must be made over the phone.

does that mean that a 15 year old could book a standard class ticket and get a solo birth for free?

I think you still need to pay the relevent (solo in this case) supplement.

Me and a "female friend" went on the seated sleeper, her 14 me 15. Was no problem. I am now 25.

Shame that I didn't have at that time my current legendary charm and wit. I did ask someone (honestly can't remember who now) if we could be upgraded to a bed if we did the dish washing. They grinned but didn't permit it...

Just realising now how wonderfully lax my upbringing was. Disappeared for three days and when I got back my parents were only "about" to call the police

Hi my freind emailed scotrail and they have said that we cannot go on the sleeper even if were just going in the seating coach.
Might see if i can go on the night rivera but i probably wont be allowed on that eather.

I work the Scotrail Sleeper.Unfortunately no unaccompanied children in the seated coach is correct but you can travel in a sleeper berth if the following apply:-

1) If you are on your own then both berths have to be booked in your name. ie you can't share with a stranger.

OR

2) You travel with someone known to you in the same compartment.
