Long journeyLoud on the trainThe wifi on the train worked for the most part. There were a few moments when the connection was not so stable. In terms of comfort, I can say that the seats were fine. However, it was very noisy as there was a school class on the train. It's normal that it can get a bit louder, but at times it reached a volume that was very exhausting.
Both the ticket inspectors and the driver were very friendly and nice. I didn't use the toilets, but the train was pretty clean. We were just under 15 minutes late. Overall, I would say that the price was okay, but the noise was very exhausting.
