Advantages
Clean WCFriendly staffWifi and socketsDisadvantages
Announcements difficult to understandHigh prices in the on-board restaurantThe wifi and power sockets worked perfectly throughout the journey. So I was able to work productively. The seats were comfortable and the train was quiet. The staff were also very friendly. The toilets were clean, as was the rest of the interior. Unfortunately, the announcements were sometimes difficult to understand and caused confusion. In addition, the prices in the on-board restaurant seemed to be increased.
