Could this be the perfect Christmas jumper for rail enthusiasts?
Caledonian Sleeper has released a limited edition Christmas jumper, full of hidden clues and homages to the overnight service.
Festive antlers represent the famous Caledonian Sleeper stag logo, with three points on one side and two on the other, representing the Caledonian Sleeper’s three Highland routes (Aberdeen, Inverness, and Fort William) and two Lowland routes (Glasgow and Edinburgh).

The jumper also includes more hidden details for fans to discover, from 16 stars representing each of the Sleeper’s coaches in a standard formation, and even a cameo from “Glen the Loco”, the service’s new soft toy mascot.
The jumper is supporting Railway Children, with a donation from each purchase donated to the charity, which helps vulnerable children who find themselves alone and at risk on the railway.
The jumper is available exclusively from the official Caledonian Sleeper Online Gift Shop, with sizes ranging from XS to XXL.
Over 43,500 passenger journeys were made on the Highland Sleeper during November, December and across the festive period last year.
Steven Marshall, Caledonian Sleeper’s Head of Sales & Marketing said: “We love Christmas and we know our customers do too, so it’s full steam ahead with our first ever Christmas jumper thanks to our in-house design team and Glasgow based Orb Group.
“We have pulled out all the stops to create a Christmas jumper that pays homage to the iconic Caledonian Sleeper, with every detail a nod to the things that make our very own ‘Polar Express’ extra special.
“It is our way of bringing a little extra joy to the festive season, while also giving back to an organisation that does incredible work for children. We look forward to seeing travellers and rail enthusiasts of all ages wearing our new Christmas jumpers throughout the winter.”
The limited edition festive jumper is available for £44.95, with a £5 donation from every purchase going directly to Railway Children.
The team have also created individually hand painted Christmas baubles decorated in the Caledonian Sleeper’s own tartan priced at £19.95.
