Two services usually depart London each night from Sunday to Friday and travel via the West Coast Main Line into Scotland.

The earlier departure stops at Edinburgh before dividing into portions bound for Aberdeen, Fort William and Inverness.

The later departure serves Edinburgh and Glasgow.

Five London-bound carriages usually depart from Edinburgh every night.

The Caledonian Sleeper has been a stand-alone franchise operated by Serco since April 2015.
