The journey took around six hours and thirty minutes. Fortunately, the train was on time. At first, I wasn't quite sure where to go. The staff helped me immediately and explained the situation very patiently. The toilets and washbasins were very clean. There were no problems when buying the ticket on the website. I would therefore give it 5 stars.
