Full carThe route itself was well chosen with no changes, which I really appreciated. Unfortunately, the carriage was very full and it was hardly possible to sit in peace. The air conditioning was too weak, it got warm quickly when the train was full. There was also no functioning wifi. The view was rather monotonous over long distances. The journey was okay but not particularly comfortable or pleasant for any length of time. Overall the journey was fine.
