    Is the Caledonian Sleeper safe for solo travellers?

    Yes — the Caledonian Sleeper is a popular and generally reassuring choice for solo travellers, including solo women. Private rooms are sold for sole use, so you never share a cabin with a stranger, and cabin doors lock from the inside, giving you a secure, private space for the night. The train is staffed throughout the journey, with a host for your coach who can help if you need anything, and there are station Guest Lounges at either end for guests in the en-suite rooms. Reclining Seats are a shared coach rather than a private room, so if privacy and security matter most to you, a Classic Room is the affordable step up. As with any overnight travel, sensible precautions apply — keep valuables with you, use the door lock, and stow bags securely — but the combination of a lockable private room, on-board staff and a settled overnight routine makes the sleeper feel considerably more comfortable than, say, an overnight coach. Many solo travellers rate it as one of the more relaxing ways to cover a long distance in Britain.
