Thanks - it's not that I'm unsociable it's just that they seem a little compact!

No, Mr. Heatherite, we Yanks are not "share and share alike"; even though some around this forum think there should be (mainly 'Jungvolk" around here who "do things on the cheap' - choice or necessity as the case may be), there are no Couchettes such as you find on the Continent, or even the shared rooms of Standard (2nd) Class Sleeper as one finds in the UK.
I did Couchette, namely Madrid-Sevilla, once in this life; an experience unlike I had ever had before or ever wish to have again. Be assured it was "uh not exactly' by choice.

Going further than that, even if you get a bedroom, which is really for two people, it will not be shared between strangers. Only people traveling on the same reservation and choosing to do so share a sleeper space in the US.

I once shared a couchette with 5 nuns on a train in France which was unusual particularly as I am a man! They weren't fazed unlike me!
