Disadvantages
IconApportionment situation
The train's equipment was first class. The seats were extremely comfortable and offered enough space for a relaxed journey. There was generous legroom and ample storage space for luggage. The availability of power sockets on the train allowed passengers to easily charge their electronic devices. The wifi offering provided seamless connectivity during the journey. Comfort during the train journey was second to none. The air-conditioning worked flawlessly and created a pleasant atmosphere on the train. The toilets were spotlessly clean and well maintained. It was a real pleasure to travel on this well-maintained train. The train staff were extremely professional and friendly. They were always helpful and ensured that passengers' needs were met. Regular announcements passed on important information about the next stops and delays. The cleanliness on the train was exemplary. The seats and the interior were cleaned regularly and there was no sign of soiling. Hygienic standards were outstanding and contributed to a pleasant travel experience. The food, however, was rather mediocre in both choice and quality. Nevertheless, great train journey!
