Sleeper seated isn't too terrible. It is a reclining seat like an airplane. Better than a normal train seat by far.
Usual direction is S. to Glasgow.

I've been thinking about doing a Friday night out reclining sleeper seat, Sunday night back, just to get a bit more Scottish cycling time. You can cancel up to the last minute at the moment so tempted to just book for sometime in October/Novemeber and cancel if the forecast is bad. But then hard to decide if two nights of bad sleep for one night in a tent is worth it. Plus the forecast will almost certainly be bad.

I found it pretty rough. Only go for 'proper' berths now. Then again I am longer in the leg and last time I did it there were people at the other end of the carriage talking and drinking cans pretty much all the way to Carlisle. I doubt this happens all the time but fuck that.

I'm a fussy little princess though (read: I don't sleep well when not horizontal and I have blood clotting issues which makes long duration sitting a bad idea)

Which is the normal direction? Could I get a train to Inverness and ride it southwards?
£88 is cheapest train up but that appears to be a sleeper train, seated only, which sounds like a really shit way to start a tour.
