We are traveling from Edinburgh to Euston in London in September. The seated reclining sleepers are cheaper enough that we're thinking about skipping the berth experience even though I know that would be cool. Has anyone done the reclining sleeper? Safety issues? Comfortable? Would it be a better experience to do the berth? We are two adults and two teenage daughters; we would split up and each take a daughter if we did the berth.
I think you'd get a better night's sleep in a berth, lying flat and probably with a bit more privacy. Have fun!
get the berth. You are private and more comfortable. It would take quite a bit of potential savings for me to choose to sit up all night. If i was going to travel in a seat, I would choose to do so in daylight so i could at least see the sights as we go by
