A little dirty

I was travelling on the IC 4510 for about an hour. The journey was very pleasant except that the floor was a bit dirty, I think something liquid had leaked out. But otherwise the journey was great. I was able to concentrate on my work. Great.

Pro

Punctuality

Cons

Price

I travelled from Brussels to Antwerp on business and chose this connection. It's a much more relaxed journey than travelling by car. The train arrived on time and there were no disruptions during the rest of the journey. I am very impressed by the cleanliness of the train. The train was well maintained inside and out. The journey was very informative. The price was also totally fair and justified for me. Highly recommended

Pro

Speed

Cons

Cleanliness

I travel a lot through Germany and the Benelux countries on business. Yesterday I took the train from Brussels to Antwerp. The connection was very fast and the train arrived on time. Very new and modern trains are used on the route. Unfortunately, I was not so impressed with the cleanliness inside the train. The information boards on the platform are very clear and easy to understand. I can only recommend the connection.
