IconThe on-board bistro
The train journey was quiet and pleasant. I had a good rest and was even able to sleep a little. The view was easy to enjoy as the windows were clean. The temperature on the train was pleasant: neither too hot nor too cold. The passengers were nice and there was enough space in the carriage. I didn't have to worry about anything and felt like I was in good hands. Only the coffee from the vending machine didn't taste particularly good, which was the only weakness of the journey.

Iconthe toilets were blocked
It was a bit annoying that the toilets were temporarily blocked by the maintenance staff and I had no other option. Apart from that, the train journey was very relaxing. The soft cushions provided good support and were easy on the back and neck. The quiet atmosphere allowed me to concentrate perfectly on my book. The large windows allow uninterrupted views of the passing landscape, ideal for relaxing. The supervisory staff were also attentive and helpful at all times.

The journey was very comfortable. It took just under two hours and we arrived in Valencia on time. The train was well cleaned and it didn't smell. It was relatively quiet for the whole journey. The seats were comfortable and there were power sockets available. The toilet was fine and the conductor was very friendly to me. I didn't have to change trains and I was able to use the journey to work.

On the return journey, on the other hand, there were absolutely no negative aspects. The price-performance ratio was very good. The train was very punctual and the staff were very reasonable and patient. The toilets were thoroughly cleaned and I didn't notice any rubbish or dirt. The network connection was very fast and there was good reception. As there were no downsides, I give it five stars and recommend the journey.

The sanitary facilities and the compartment I sat in were free of dirt. The price of the ticket was reasonable. I remember very polite and competent staff who spoke excellent English. The journey took 2 hours and 20 minutes. I didn't change trains and unfortunately I no longer have the train number. But to summarise, the journey deserves a recommendation.

I really liked the fact that my train was very punctual, that it was clean and hygienic and that the staff were always ready to answer questions. The journey took just under 2 hours in total and I changed trains once. The train number is on the part of the ticket that I no longer have.
Advantages

I was very pleasantly surprised by the connection. My train was very punctual, it was spotlessly clean and I had a very comfortable seat, which was very cosy. The price I paid for the ticket was actually very fair and I had a very fast connection the whole time. The train journey took about two hours and so I give my clear recommendation. I changed trains once and can't remember my train number.

All in all, the train journey with train number 7282 was enjoyable. The journey took 2 hours and was largely on time. The seats were comfortable and there was plenty of room.
