I took #London-#Inverness #CaledonianSleeper 3 years ago.
Compared to ÖBB #nightjet in #Germany, I had much better sleep (and I'm not an easy sleeper...) : the track is noisier (tack-a-tack) but this actually is sufficiently monotonous to help rather than prevent sleep, and we had much fewer stop-and-goes (in Germany, train stops, reverses, re-reverses in fully lighted railway complexes, which woke me up a couple of times)

For the first time in my life, I'm aboard a #SleeperTrain, and I'm loving it! Maybe a steamboat could hold a candle to this experience, but I doubt it.
OBB #NightJet will take my friend and me to Rosenheim, where we'll transfer to a train to Salzburg in the morning. In the mean time, I'm wearing my NightJet branded slippers and drinking my complementary little bottle of Sekt.
What a life!
