Advantages
Seating comfort availableSufficient equipmentStaff made a friendly impressionDisadvantages
Wifi connection not stableFloors and tables were dirtyOverall, the journey was acceptable. The train was on time and you could really relax due to the low capacity utilisation and the low noise level in the train. Unfortunately, the floors and tables were dirty and the outside of the train was so dirty that you couldn't see out of the windows. But everything else was okay. The staff made a friendly impression and there were plenty of power sockets. There were always interruptions with the wifi connection, but these were not too tragic. As the seats were comfortable, I was satisfied with the journey.
