Despite the journey taking several hours, about a little over 5 hours, I found it very good as everything went smoothly and according to my wishes. Thanks to the nice staff, me and my family got seats next to each other, even though the train was almost full. The seats were also comfortable. The wifi worked without any problems and what struck me immediately was that the toilet was very clean. The price was acceptable and not too expensive. The train was also punctual.
