Advantages
First-class adviceUncomplicated paymentPunctualDisadvantages
Unpleasant odour in the WCBooking the ticket went smoothly thanks to the good advice from the staff. My train arrived on time, which I was very pleased about. The seats on the train were very well made and had very comfortable upholstery. There was an internet connection on the train, which was very easy to access, and there were plenty of sockets to charge your smartphone, for example. I had a slightly negative impression of the toilet facilities because of the unpleasant odour. Otherwise, everything was fine and I reached my destination on time.
