Advantages
HygieneDisadvantages
PersonnelYou could definitely tell that cleanliness and hygiene were the top priority for the staff. So that fulfils the hygiene aspect. I can say that the wifi was quite good compared to other train journeys. But where there was definitely room for improvement was in the behaviour of the staff, who obviously had no interest in the well-being of the passengers. Unfortunately only three stars
Advantages
No changeCosyGood foodGood serviceDisadvantages
-My journey from Nice to Marseille on the TGV 6186 was fantastic! The train made a direct connection and got me to my final destination quickly and comfortably in 2 hours and 30 minutes. The journey was smooth and comfortable - modern seats suited the long journey and there was plenty of room for my luggage. The service on board was particularly impressive. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. In addition, there was a great restaurant offering a wide variety of food, with a choice of tasty snacks and savoury dishes such as freshly prepared salads and stuffed slices of bread. The coffee was really good and made the journey more enjoyable. The journey itself amazed me - I enjoyed the breathtaking views of the Mediterranean coast, which added to the pleasure of the journey. The train was on time and I got to Marseille without any problems.
Advantages
Riding comfortShort journey durationNo delaysDisadvantages
Dirty WCThe journey from Nice to Marseille was by train and was fine so far. The journey took just under 2 hours and I didn't have to change trains. The train reached its destination on time. The train was very comfortable and I was able to take a nap. However, the toilet was not particularly clean and could do with a clean. However, the staff were open to criticism.
Advantages

NoneThe train journey from Nice to Marseille went without any significant complications and was thoroughly enjoyable. The train set off on time and arrived in Marseille without any delays. It was very clean on board, which also applied to the toilets. The journey only took a short 60 minutes. I can still remember that the seating comfort made a positive impression on me. All in all, a connection worth recommending.
