Disadvantages

The journey was pleasant overall. However, the seats are relatively narrow, which could be uncomfortable on longer journeys. The staff were friendly and helpful. The cleanliness of the train was satisfactory. However, the floor could have been cleaned a little more thoroughly. The journey time of around 1.5 hours was as advertised and there were no significant delays. Overall, the price-performance ratio is good, as you get a relatively comfortable journey for a reasonable price and I was able to make good savings thanks to a voucher. Highly recommended for short journeys.
