Advantages

Disadvantages
Iconslight delay
The train was affected by a small delay of 7 minutes. However, it was clean and the train was equipped with comfortable seats, so I don't see the delay as very negative. The staff proved to be helpful and I was able to watch a film thanks to the good wifi. The almost 10-hour journey was a complete success. Unfortunately, the train number was on the part of the ticket that I no longer have.
Advantages

Disadvantages
Iconunpunctual
To be honest, I was a bit disappointed at first, as my train arrived 28 minutes late. But once on the train, this negative mood dissipated and I was happy that it was clean and hygienic. The staff were very friendly and I have no complaints. I had very good wifi and stable reception the whole time. I therefore give the connection a recommendation. I had to change trains once and the journey took about 8 hours.
