Edinburgh train became 'overnight hotel' after passengers stranded at station

An Edinburgh train carriage ended up becoming an 'overnight hotel' this week after passengers were stranded following their visit to see the Queen lie in rest.

Thousands had flocked to the city centre on Monday to watch Her Majesty's coffin in a procession from Holyrood to St Giles' Cathedral, before many more waited hours to see it for themselves inside.

With people heading to the capital from all over the country, the long wait to see the Queen lie in rest had meant that many missed their travel services home, leaving them stranded in the city centre.
