Advantages
IconBoard bistro open
IconFriendly staff
IconSeats comfortable and clean with full equipment
IconTrain had arrived on time
Disadvantages
IconTrain was very full
IconVolume in passenger compartment too loud
This 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.
