The contract for Serco to run the Caledonian sleeper has been terminated due to a funding row.

The SNP (Scottish National Party) are keen to bring the service back into public ownership. Although UK law currently prevents the Scottish Government from simply nationalising the service, a state operator of last resort could take over if a competitive bidding process does not find a new contractor.
