Very interesting, thank you for this. I've always wondered what it was like. Good to hear that if you're travelling on your own, you are guaranteed to have your own cabin. I guess if you were on your own and got a cabin with two beds, you'd have a bit more space.
I got the sleeper from London to Edinburgh a few years ago (I had a similar little cabin to myself) and it was great fun. Have to say I didn't sleep very well though, and had to go to bed for a few hours once I arrived at the hotel!
