European Railroad Discussion > Night Rivera

Here's a rarely photographed train. It's GWR's "Night Rivera" which runs between Penance and London Paddington (seen here upon arrival) 6 nights per week. All equipment has been beautifully refurbished. This overnight train saves a night in a hotel. Arrival into London is at 5:45A but passengers can occupy their rooms until a more civilized 7:30. A continental breakfast (croissant and Juice, Coffee, or tea)  is served in your room. This is one of only two sleeper services in the U.K., the other being the Highland and Lowland Caledonian Sleepers between Euston and various points in Scotland.
