Train was very fullVolume in passenger compartment too loudThis train had been very full. It was therefore noisy in the passenger compartment. Since the on-board bistro was open, I went there. It was very clean and quiet. The service was very good and the staff friendly. The seats had also been comfortable and had an internet connection and power sockets. I didn't have to change trains on the journey so it was very comfortable. The train had not been delayed.
