Visitors travelling overnight from London on one of the world’s most famous railway services can now seamlessly continue their journey to more than 200 destinations across Scotland, unlocking some of the country's most remote, breathtaking coastlines, Highland landscapes and island communities through a new partnership between Caledonian Sleeper and Scottish Citylink.
The collaboration brings together two of Scotland's best-known transport providers, creating one of the country's most extensive public transport networks, and providing exclusive travel discounts. Guests stepping off the Caledonian Sleeper, can continue their journey by coach to thousands of miles of onward travel, reaching bustling cities, remote Highland communities, dazzling coastlines and island gateways - all without needing a car.
The partnership strengthens Scotland's sustainable tourism offering by offering easy connections to some of the country's most iconic, as well as lesser-known, destinations entirely by public transport.
Whether it's exploring the dramatic landscapes of Glen Coe, visiting the Isle of Skye, discovering the Cairngorms, experiencing the North Coast or heading to picturesque coastal towns and rural communities, travellers can easily plan a Scottish touring itinerary.
As part of the partnership, Caledonian Sleeper guests will benefit from an exclusive 10% discount on all Scottish Citylink single and return fares when booking online or via the Citylink App with a promotional code, making it easier and more affordable to explore Scotland beyond the rail network. In return, Scottish Citylink customers will have access to discounted Caledonian Sleeper train tickets, creating a seamless and great-value travel experience that connects destinations across Scotland by coach and rail.
Steven Marshall, Head of Sales and Marketing at Caledonian Sleeper, said: "Travelling on Caledonian Sleeper has always been one of the most relaxing and sustainable ways to arrive in Scotland. Through our partnership with Scottish Citylink, your journey doesn't end at the station – it opens the door to exploring even more of Scotland's spectacular landscapes, towns and attractions.
"Together we're opening up more than 200 destinations across Scotland, making it easier than ever for visitors to discover everything from vibrant cities to some of our most remote landscapes without needing a car. It's about creating one seamless journey that helps people experience more of Scotland in a simple, sustainable way."
The launch marks the beginning of a wider collaboration between the two operators, with plans to inspire future adventures through competitions, destination content and trip inspiration.
After taking the Caledonian Sleeper to destinations such as Glasgow, Perth, Fort William, Aberdeen and Inverness, Scottish Citylink coach routes open up a host of historic towns, fascinating attractions and beautiful scenery:
Scottish Citylink Head of Marketing, Nicola Campbell said: “Scotland offers so much for visitors to enjoy and many of those arriving in the country on the Caledonian Sleeper are here to do just that, so we’re really excited to be helping even more visitors explore our fantastic country by public transport through this partnership.
"Our network connects people to over 200 destinations across the country, from major cities to rural communities and coastlines, with countless activities to enjoy. This arrangement is further demonstration of our on-going commitment to making sustainable travel more accessible for all, and giving visitors the confidence to explore and enjoy all that Scotland has to offer."
The partnership also supports accessible travel, with Scottish Citylink's wheelchair-accessible coach fleet helping provide an inclusive onward journey for customers arriving by rail.
