-The journey on the SWR 1L23 train was pleasant all round. The train was modern, clean and offered enough space for luggage. I found the on-board bistro particularly practical, where snacks and drinks were available - ideal for a relaxed journey in the morning. The train staff were friendly and helpful, and the sanitary facilities were clean and well maintained.
The free wifi worked reliably, so I was able to work and wifi while travelling. The atmosphere on the train was quiet, so I was able to enjoy the journey. The connection was direct and worked without any problems.
