Travelling in romantic style on the sleeper train

Christian was coming from Hayes, and I was coming from Cambridge, and so we arranged to meet at Euston station, and made it there at about 7.15. We decided to eat at Prezzo across the road, and it was a nice meal. We mooched back to the station, and sat in another cafe until the train was ready to board. It seemed to take ages, and I was very tired. It was finally ready at about 11.15, and we went to get on the train, the Caledonian Sleeper. We were in coach M.

We ordered breakfast beverages, and found our cabin, which was smaller and more cramped than I'd imagined, but it was pleasant, and had everything we needed, including straps to ensure that you don't fall out of your bunk. We got ready for bed, and were tucked up before the train started moving at 11.50pm. The train didn't move very fast, and the motion was quite irregular, which took me some time to get used to. I did sleep, though, waking up a couple of times.
