Advantages

Friendly staff with a personalised welcome

Comfortable seats with sufficient equipment

Clean train

No delays and no changes

Disadvantages

Two out of three toilets defective

This train was not full and very quiet in the passenger compartment. I also found the staff very friendly, as they greeted me as I boarded and carried out a quick ticket check. Unfortunately, I discovered on the train that two of the three toilets were out of order, so there was a very large rush. I found the seats comfortable and there was one power socket per row of seats and a stable internet connection. The cleanliness of the entire train was also perfect. The train was also not delayed and I didn't have to change trains. So a good journey!

Advantages

Price

Disadvantages

Punctuality

As is often the case, the train was unfortunately not on time and we had to stop again during the journey due to a technical fault. However, the rest of the journey went well, the seats were comfortable and the wifi and sockets worked. The train was also very clean. Although the old familiar problems occurred, I think the price was still fair.
