Advantages
IconA cheap ticket
IconAdditional seat can be booked cheaply
Disadvantages
IconA bit stuffy in the train
On this trip we had hardly any delays and the train left on time. The journey was good and not too loud or exhausting due to noisy passengers. What I find particularly good is that you can book the extra seat for a few euros when booking, which gives you enough space and makes travelling more relaxed. Otherwise, the seats are quite narrow and when the train is full, it can be exhausting. The air on the train was a bit stuffy, I'm not sure if there is air conditioning. But the staff were nice and the price of the ticket is so cheap that I have nothing to complain about. I will take the train again.
