I have to say that I really enjoyed the journey. I don't normally think much of travelling by train, but this has changed. There was good wifi, as well as facilities for charging electronic devices. The staff were also super friendly and the seats were very comfortable. The toilets and the floor were very clean and hygienic, which also surprised me positively. The whole journey took about 6 hours.
