Hello;
As far as I am aware, there are only two routes that see Sleeper trains nowadays. There is the First Great Western sleeper from Paddington to Penzance, usually hauled by the 57/6s. Departure from Paddington is about midnight and Penzance about 10ish (I think). The other is First Scotrail, and they run two trains. London Euston to Edinburgh, where the train splits into three, for Fort William, Aberdeen and Inverness. The other train is London Euston to Glasgow and Edinburgh. These trains use DB-S Class 90s in First Corporate livery from London to Edinburgh/Glasgow and DB-S Class 67s north thereof.
For Exact times I'd suggest checking on the relevant websites.
During times of engineering works it has been known for the sleepers to use the east coast line rather than the west coast.
HTH
Dave.
