Overnight rail service Caledonian Sleeper has opened an exclusive lounge at London Euston station for guests in its Double and Club rooms.
The lounge is located on platform 1, right next to the departing Sleeper services, and can be used by passengers before boarding the train to Scotland or, alternatively, after arriving into London (from 6.30-10.30am).
The facility is open from 6pm until boarding time for guests booked to stations on the Aberdeen, Fort William and Inverness routes, and from 8.45pm until boarding time for those travelling to Edinburgh and Glasgow.
Measuring just over 200 sqm, the lounge offers complimentary self-serve sweet and savoury snacks plus hot and cold beverages. Guests can also purchase light meals, including traditional haggis, neeps & tatties with a whisky sauce (£14), as well as alcoholic beverages such as Scottish whiskies, gins and craft beers.
The lounge also features accessible toilet and shower facilities, stocked with Arran Sense of Scotland toiletries and complimentary towels.
The Caledonian Sleeper is operated by Scottish Rail Holdings and operates nightly services (apart from Saturdays) between London and Scottish destinations including Glasgow, Edinburgh, Inverness, Fort William, and Aberdeen.
There are existing Guest Lounges at Dundee, Fort William, Inverness, Leuchars and Perth.
Accommodation options onboard range from Double and Club rooms, which include ensuite showers, to Classic rooms and seats in Coach.
Kathryn Darbandi, managing director for Caledonian Sleeper, said:
“Our new dedicated Guest Lounge at London Euston is the perfect addition to our overnight experience and feedback so far has been hugely positive.
“It offers a space to relax before or after travelling, allowing guests a quiet place to enjoy a light meal before boarding the train to Scotland or to prepare for a day of business meetings or sightseeing in London.”
Michael Gouldbourne, deputy station manager for London Euston, added:
“We’ve been delighted to enable the construction of a new first class passenger lounge for Caledonian Sleeper at London Euston station offering an enhanced journey experience for those passengers using the Sleeper service.”
