Advantages
ComfortModernityOn-board restaurantDisadvantages
HygieneUnpunctualUnfriendly staffThe journey actually went well, but the train arrived 50 minutes late.
The on-board restaurant also offers good alternatives to meat.
It was a comfortable seat with a power socket. The wifi was fast and reliable. Apart from that, the service staff were unfortunately not friendly. The online ticket validation was, as so often, superfluous. The reservation displays at the seat did not work. This meant that all reservations had to be enforced by the staff first.
