Advantages
IconThis train connection convinced me
Disadvantages
IconEverything went without a hitch
This train service was exceptionally punctual, which contributed to a very pleasant travelling experience. The overall value for money was very good, although the tickets were not the cheapest on the market. The cleanliness of the trains was impressive. The carriages were obviously cleaned regularly. The toilets on the trains were clean and well maintained. There were enough toilets for passengers and I had no problems using them during the journey. The seats were very comfortable and clean. I had enough space for my legs and the seats were very comfortable for both short and longer journeys. This train connection was a positive experience for me. The combination of punctuality and cleanliness won me over.
