Advantages
IconStable train connection
IconAlways on time so far
Disadvantages
IconEverything in order
The train was always on time, which made for a smooth journey. The tickets were affordable, however discounts or offers could add more interest. The carriages were spotless and the staff kept them clean during the journey. The wifi had a stable connection but occasional wifi was present. The toilet facilities were clean and well maintained, but a few more toilets per carriage would be desirable. The seats were comfortable, with plenty of room, even for longer journeys. Overall a recommendable train service with only minor room for improvement.
