About this deal
The Classic Room is the accommodation type above Seated Coach. In other words, it’s a bed rather than a seat. Indian trains have 9 types of seat classes, which can be divided into seat carriages and sleeper carriages.
So, you might be wondering what’s the difference and is it worth upgrading to sleeping horizontally rather than sitting down? Don’t worry, I’ve got you covered!Your seat is reserved at the time of booking so you can’t just sit anywhere. If you’re travelling as a group, you’ll want to make one booking altogether if you want the best chance of sitting next to each other. This is the cheapest class. Seats are not reserved or designated. Most of the 2S carriages don’t have glazing but a few bars to prevent passengers turning in and out of the window. The unreserved/general class is always overcrowded, noisy and smelly. Passengers without seats usually sit or lie on the floor. It gets very stuffy and uncomfortable because there is no air-conditioning. How to Choose the Seat Type on Indian Railways?

Here, you should also decide on the shape of the sofa. Do you have enough room for an L-shaped or a U-shaped sofa? Or should you opt for a rectangular 2- or 3-seater? The final touch: style space is a fraction smaller (but not so as you'd notice) and there's a washstand instead of an en suiteCaledonian Double and Club car rooms come with a private shower on the Caledonian Sleeper. The shower is integrated into the bathroom, so you’ll flip the toilet seat cover down and it then doubles as a bench for the shower. Water was warm and plentiful when we tried the shower, and overall it was a good experience. What are the seats like on the Caledonian Sleeper This isn’t particularly new to me. I don’t sleep on planes either. It’s the combination of sitting upright and the noise. There is no regular schedule.
