IconGood facilities and friendly staff
IconNo high utilisation
Disadvantages
IconIt was very loud, just the family behind me
This train had been very punctual and had excellent cleanliness inside. The toilets worked perfectly and were very clean. The staff had been friendly and gave a relaxed impression. On the train, however, it had been very noisy and the family behind me was making noise and stamping against the seats. The seats were comfortable and there were power sockets and a continuous internet connection. The train had also arrived on time.
