PASSENGERS travelling on the Caledonian Sleeper will be able to access discounted coach travel to more than 200 destinations across Scotland under a new partnership with Scottish Citylink.
The agreement will give Caledonian Sleeper customers a 10% discount on Scottish Citylink single and return fares, allowing onward travel to destinations including the Isle of Skye, Glen Coe, the Cairngorms and the North Coast without the need for a car.
In return, Scottish Citylink customers will also be able to access discounted Caledonian Sleeper fares.
The two operators said the partnership is intended to make it easier for visitors arriving from London to continue their journeys by public transport while supporting more sustainable tourism across Scotland.
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 partnership links Caledonian Sleeper services to Glasgow, Perth, Fort William, Aberdeen and Inverness with Scottish Citylink's coach network, which serves towns, rural communities and island gateways across the country.
Among the destinations highlighted by the operators are Glen Coe and Ben Nevis from Fort William, Loch Ness and the Isle of Skye from Inverness, Royal Deeside from Aberdeen and Campbeltown from Glasgow.
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 ongoing 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 companies said the partnership also supports accessible travel, with Citylink's wheelchair accessible coach fleet providing onward connections for rail passengers.
The collaboration is expected to expand beyond discounted fares, with the two operators planning joint competitions and destination guides to encourage visitors to explore more of Scotland by public transport.
