Advantages
IconVery fast and pleasant ride
IconFriendly staff
IconVery modern trains and comfortable seats
Disadvantages
IconSlight delay of 30 minutes
The equipment was very modern, the trains had free wifi and power sockets. The seats were very comfortable and the staff very friendly. The train was generally very pleasantly quiet. I had to change trains once and I was able to make the connection without any problems. I give the value for money a 7 out of 10, because you also have to bear in mind that there are much more expensive alternatives.
