Buying tickets was easy and was done directly at the station. The timetable and journey time were adhered to, so that an on-time arrival was possible. Unfortunately, there was no comfort as the train was very full and there were therefore no seats. The compartment and toilet were clean. Facilities such as wifi and power sockets were available - but I didn't use them. The price-performance ratio could be better.
