The Terrible Sleep & ride we got on the MK 5 Sleeper train.
The GOOD points about the MK 5 is if you can afford to pay for Club Class you do get En-suite room with toilet and shower, all do have USB points and you can control the temperature in your room which you didn't have in the MK 3s.
While having breakfast in the Lounge coach on the southbound journey my mate's coffee was spilling onto the table with the train bouncing all over the place, the bogies are terrible on these coaches, I did mention it to the a steward, his reply was, don't we know.
