From the train to the fairway – direct

THE CALEDONIAN SLEEPER is tee-ing off a new service with luxury #golf tour operator, St Andrews Golf Travel, to take guests to the ‘Home of Golf’. 

After a successful six month trial, the free door-to-door transfers by St Andrews Golf Travel will operate six days a week, morning and night, for guests arriving at and departing from Leuchars railway station.

Established in 2013, the specialist golf tour operator in St Andrews operates a fleet of luxury cars and people carriers.

Says Marc Gentles at St Andrews Golf Travel: ‘It's every golfer’s dream to visit #StAndrews at least once in their lifetime and, having played golf in all four corners of the world, we wanted to bring our passion for the sport back to the Home of Golf. 

This partnership with the Caledonian Sleeper is an ideal way to ensure visitors can enjoy St Andrews.’

Caledonian Sleeper’s Ryan Flaherty adds: ‘This service marries two globally recognized tourism experiences. St Andrews is frequently recognized as one of the world’s most prestigious golf destinations while the Caledonian Sleeper is seen as one of the world’s best rail journeys. By combining the two, our guests will be able to go straight from their berth to avoiding bunkers.’

The Caledonian Sleeper service is an overnight rail journey from London Euston to Inverness.

Fun on the train

A GAGGLE of comedians have turned the overnight #CaledonianSleeper into a carriage of laughs as they start the build-up for this year’s #Glasgow International Comedy Festival (March 10-27).

Now in its 14th year, the festival brings a selection of top comedy stars including Daniel Sloss, Des Clarke, and Frankie Boyle, from across the UK and beyond to Scotland.

Ryan Flaherty, guest experience director at the Caledonian Sleeper, said: ‘We are extremely pleased to be supporting this year’s Glasgow International Comedy Festival, and what better way to kick off the extravaganza of laughs than by bringing some of the top acts aboard the Caledonian Sleeper?

‘With regular services from the centre of London to the heart of Glasgow, the Caledonian Sleeper is the perfect way to sleep while you travel before arriving refreshed and revitalized ready to enjoy a full day at the festival.’
