I don't know whether you've travelled on the overnight service to London, but from my experience - you don't get much sleep.

Between May and October in 2012 I travelled down to London, by bus, on almost a bi-weekly basis to do Uni work at The National Archive. If that train deal was available at the time, I would have booked it like a shot.
