IconVery good wifi connection
Disadvantages
IconEverything in order
The train only arrived five minutes late, which is okay for me personally. The seats on the train were very comfortable, they had a pleasant headrest as well as comfortable armrests, and there was also a small folding table where you could put your water bottle etc. The wifi on the train worked very well and was always available. The corridors were tidy and very clean, I couldn't see any dirt on the floor. The toilet facilities were well equipped and very clean. The staff were friendly and always on hand. Overall, a very pleasant train journey that I would gladly repeat.
