I was very pleased that the train was on time, as I had arranged to meet at my destination. The journey was also relatively quick, without any interruptions or problems. The comfort was okay, but not the best. The staff were friendly and helpful. The toilets worked, but weren't the cleanest. The price was fair and I personally think it was very fair.
