Advantages
IconVery good wifi
IconPunctual and clean
The train connection was very punctual. The timetable was adhered to exactly and we even arrived at our destination a few minutes earlier than expected. The ticket price was reasonable and the services provided largely met expectations. Overall, the train was very clean and well maintained. The seats and floor were free of debris and the staff kept everything tidy during the journey. The wifi worked reliably for the most part. The connection was stable and the speed made it easy to use the internet. The toilets on the train were in an acceptable condition, they were cleaned regularly and there was sufficient toilet paper and soap. The seats were very comfortable and offered enough space. The cushioning was pleasant and the arrangement of the seats allowed good legroom. This train connection was a positive experience that impressed me with its punctuality, reasonable prices and good wifi.
Advantages
IconFirst-class advice
IconUncomplicated payment
IconPunctual
Disadvantages
IconUnpleasant odour in the WC
Booking 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.
