Disadvantages

The train always departs on time. We made the reservation online without any problems. The seats on the train are comfortable, even in 2nd class. There is free wifi, a power socket and an on-board restaurant on the train. The staff are always friendly. The prices in the on-board restaurant are a bit high, so my nephew has never eaten there. But apart from that, the journey is smooth and there are no changes.
