Pro
IconPunctual
Cons
Iconrude staff.
For the most part, I was able to experience advantages on the journey. These included the fact that the train was on time, that it was very clean and that there was a good network. The only downside was that the staff were very rude and blocked any attempt to ask for help. The value for money was very good in my opinion. Despite the staff, I can give the train journey four stars.
Pro
IconFew passengers
Cons
IconNo wifi
IconToilets closed
In contrast to other journeys I've had, this was one of the worst. The toilet was blocked, there was no wifi and there was a short delay. Apart from all the negatives, the comfort was quite good and so was the service. I didn't have to change trains on the journey from Granada to Madrid either. The journey took about three and a half hours and the train I travelled on was the Ave 2348. Everything was also well cleaned.
