Audrey and her team decided to go to London for the weekend. They chose to use the Caledonian Sleeper Trains. Here is a description of that service from their website. "Caledonian Sleeper trains are miniature travelling hotels, with private bedrooms & a lounge car. The sleeper compartments are compact but cosy, with an upper & lower berth in standard class or just one lower berth in first class, and a washbasin with hot & cold running water. The beds come with a fluffy duvet, fresh clean sheets & plump pillows. A complimentary toiletries pack contains soap, flannel, toothbrush, toothpaste & razor, and a small bottle of mineral water is provided for each passenger. A light breakfast with tea or coffee & fruit juice is included in the fare, served by your steward in your compartment at the time you specify. There are toilets at the end of the corridor in each sleeping-car (which can be used even when the train is at a station), and there's a lounge car with leather sofas, tables & chairs and steward service of wine, beer, spirits, soft drinks & light meals. The Caledonian Sleepers offer almost 'cruise train' facilities, indeed they are the only regular trains in Britain featuring leather sofas, complete with coffee tables & table lamps. The Caledonian Sleeper trains also have economy reclining seats, although the lounge car is for sleeper passengers only. The Caledonian Sleepers are all non-smoking. They're run by ScotRail and are crewed by Scottish staff. A little bit of Scotland that visits London six nights a week."
