I have. And no, it's not great. Tiny bed. Thin mattress. But I've also slept in a regular chair on a train, and that's way worse.
Other than that, I love train travel.
Oh and to get ahead of the next joe thread. I've also slept in a sleeper cabin on a plane. Now that fucking rocked.

I've always liked the idea of a sleeper cabin, but the UK is so small there's only one route left that has a sleeper service and they literally slow down on purpose just to make it worth lying down for a bit

There was a train line called Euronight in the early 90s which we used to go to Amsterdam for a weekend. The seats of the six-person compartments could be turned into beds, it was quite uncomfortable and noisy but we were in our 20s back then and didn't mind, most of the time we didn't sleep anyway coz we were speedin' like hell. It was cheap, a ticket there and back only cost 50 Deutschmarks.
Never been on a regular sleeper train so far.

Probably the only time in my whole life I thought about sleeping in a train cabin.

4 killed in shooting on Chicago-area train appeared to be sleeping, police say
A suspect was later arrested in connection with the shootings, which took place on two train cars.

So sticking an average sized penis out the window would be fine then? Good to know.
I've been on 6 berth public sleeper trains in India and Vietnam. They are pretty humid, smelly, full of cockroaches and rude fuckers that either talk through the night or turn the light on for their stop and get off the train leaving it on. Bloody cunts I tell you.
I'd only do it private cabin / 1st class in 3rd world countries if I was to do it again.
I do love a daytime train ride though, some of the views are stunning and there's something to be said for appreciating the pace of time while doing slow travel long distances.
Why I remember on the train to Agra seeing a women take a shite at the edge of the track like it was nothing. You don't get that with David Attenborough.

Few years ago I thought I might have been neat to do some traveling across the country and thought it would be cool to do it by train.
I thought it would be relatively inexpensive unless I wanted fancy cars or something semi private, I was wrong.
Anyway, shortening up this going nowhere post, I don't go anywhere.

for whatever reason, buying train tickets in America is like buying plane tickets. the closer to the date, the more expensive.
I think I paid about 20 dollars buying a ticket 30 days in advance from DC to my hometown. Super Saver ticket or whatever. in 2019 I came home and tried to buy the day of and it was a very uncool 99 dollars. yeesh

I saw a show about train travel recently on a trip from Vancouver to Toronto. Canadian country has great scenery as well.

Are the greyhounds buses a good way to sightsee, or are they only for smelly poor people who are likely to stab, shoot or rape you?
