Advantages
very favourablegreat atmosphereI really enjoyed the journey from Edinburgh to Glasgow. The train was on time and I arrived in Glasgow on time. The toilets were very clean. They paid attention to hygiene and a lot of things were disinfected. There was a table showing where I was. There was a lot of choice when it came to food and the food was very tasty. The staff were very nice. Food was also provided. On the train, the atmosphere was great. The seats were very comfortable as there were reclining seats. The wifi was very good and I had access to electricity at my seat. I definitely recommend it as everything was fine. My ticket was very cheap.
Advantages
great atmosphereIt was the best decision to go on this trip during the Christmas season because the atmosphere was great and the staff were motivated and in a very good mood. The trip in Scotland was in the normal class. There was a special Christmas dinner and also special menus. Then there was also a Christmas milk drink, which was very tasty. On top of all that, hygiene was included and everything was clean. Of course, punctuality was also a must. A great trip, it was a very good experience, I can really only recommend it and would repeat it 100 per cent.
Advantages
Plenty of choice of dishes.This trip was a trip that was abroad. That was also a great experience. When I was on the train, I took a look at the menu and immediately noticed that foreign dishes were on offer. My meal was also very tasty. There were also vegetarian dishes. What I also found very cool was that the train had a very nice neon colour on the outside and was also very nice on the inside.
