Pro

Very good service

Fast and punctual

Cons

Everything went according to plan

I was very happy with this train connection as it was very punctual and clean. The train was nice and bright and tidy, the seats were tidy, there were no crumbs or anything else on the floor. The seats were very comfortable and spacious. There were also plenty of power sockets that worked properly. The toilets on the train were often free, very clean and well maintained, in my opinion. The train staff were very friendly and helpful. The ticket price was reasonable, making it an ideal train connection.
