Iconfor me none
I was able to relax and unwind on the almost 10-hour journey, even though I changed trains once. I can't remember the exact train number and unfortunately it was only on the part of the ticket that I handed in. Cleanliness and comfort are the most important aspects for me. Both were taken care of. Apart from that, the train was on time and the staff were very helpful.
