Also, is the lounge any better now than the way it was portrayed in comments from a year or two ago? TIA.
Yes, you can get off the train and go into the station. That’s better than sitting in a train with no power.
I don’t recall anything particular about re-boarding as a sleeping car passenger; I believe it’s just along with the general mob but you can get back on at any time.
