I've been sounded out about a possible contract in that their Scotland, role sounds good but the commute doesn't, amyone ever commuted from South/Mid England by sleeper train? Thinking it would kill 2 birds with one stone, get the sleeper up on Sunday and back again on Friday, with a B&B midweek.

Not sure there are any sleepers anymore, I've done Orient Express Paris - Vienna (could'nt sleep) and Moscow - Vladivostok, got off at Urals, three nights no sleep so I'd say forget sleep trains.... -
Looks like there is a scotrail sleeper which isn't cheap especially if you don't want to share with a stranger...Comment

TCD (RIP) did the sleeper train (aka the "Freedom Express") one way every week for the best part of 13 years. I guess it comes down to what suits you.Comment

I worked in Glasgow for a while. Mancheter to Glasgow by road in 2hrs 59mins -wonderful drive once you get past Preston the motorway is empty
I also flew a few times - cheeper than you'd think, but you have to factor in the time hanging around at the airport prior to flying.I'm sorry, but I'll make no apologies for this
