I think what you had as the lounge car used to be the seating coach and would be full of students in days gone by (and they sat there all night).

And see those 158s? Hate them, always sigh when they appear for my commute, especially when they appear for a peak service from stirling to glasgow and only 2 carriages. They are refurbishing them though with two usb ports per seat pair and finally more legroom (something woefully missing on the old school 158s).
The lounge car on my train was more of an old First Class carriage set up. I havenīt had the "traditional" lounge car but think itīs still there - the Caley Sleeper website shows it.
