Advantages
PunctualityConnection optionsCleanlinessDisadvantages
ReservationConnectionWIFIUnfortunately, there are no power sockets on the train and the wifi leaves a lot to be desired. The seat reservation was disastrous and we couldn't choose our seats ourselves. Children aged 7 and over have to pay. The volume on the train was very unpleasant. All in all, the connection was not pleasant and certainly not with children. Nevertheless, the connections were very good and we managed to do everything.
