I sat on the seat, it was very clean. There was no rubbish lying around. The floor and the surroundings looked very clean. My journey went very well. Later, I was hungry and ordered something to eat. I ate my food and fell asleep for a while. Then I went on the internet and spent some time. The internet was very strong and fast. I felt comfortable. I felt very comfortable and at ease. Moreover, I arrived on time. For all the reasons, I can recommend my second class journey.

My train arrived on time at the main station. When I got on, I was greeted nicely by the staff and sat down. The seats were relatively comfortable. After a while, I ordered something to eat and a drink, both of which arrived quickly and fresh. Moreover, the prices on the menu were good. The wifi was very okay. I was very well equipped with sockets at the site. The toilets were clean. My journey took about three and a half hours and everything ran on time. There's nothing I can complain about, so it's five stars and I recommend this ride endearingly.

Disadvantages
IconDelay
I can't find anything negative about this trip, I rate it four stars because there was one small thing that didn't fit and that was the delay of the train, everything else was great. The seats were very comfortable. The staff were very nice and provided good service. I ordered a coffee which arrived very quickly, was fresh and very reasonably priced. Many passengers used the wifi, but it was still great. It was very clean on the train. We had a stopover at Munich central station, and after a few minutes we were on our way. The atmosphere during the journey was great and the view was very nice. I recommend this trip despite the delay as it was the only negative thing.
