Advantages
IconCleanliness and punctuality
IconStaff was friendly and helpful
IconOnboard bistros were available
IconVolume on the train was relaxing
Disadvantages
IconChangeover very stressful due to short changeover time
This journey required a change of trains. This had been very inconvenient as the changeover time had been quite short, 5 minutes in total. However, both trains had been clean and on time. The staff were friendly and made informative announcements. The seats had been comfortable and very well appointed. There were also on-board bistros on both trains and they were nicely decorated. The noise level was normal on both trains, so you could travel in a relaxed manner.
