We've taken the sleeper train to Inverness. The rooms are quite small and old fashioned, but comfy enough (for a train).
The cars have been a bit updated and now have USB charging, which is handy. I used to get the train for work and there didn't used to be aby charging in the rooms.
Breakfast is pretty good, seeing as it's microwaved. The coffee is pretty awful.
They provide a little comfort pack with a sleepwalk and earplugs (essential for a good sleep), plus a flannel, some wash bits and pillow spray to help you sleep. Despite the pillow spray I woke up every 2 hours or so.
But no toothbrush! This is only really a problem if like me you used to take the train before the franchise changed and expected a toothbrush. I remembered to bring mine.
The views from the lounge car are amazing. I sat and drank coffee here for an hour watching the Cairngorms go by. It's a very civilised way to get to Inverness.
