The wifi offering provided seamless connectivity during the journey. Comfort during the train journey was second to none. The air-conditioning worked flawlessly and created a pleasant atmosphere on the train. The toilets were spotlessly clean and well maintained. It was a real pleasure to travel on this well-maintained train. The train staff were extremely professional and friendly. They were always helpful and ensured that passengers' needs were met. Regular announcements passed on important information about the next stops and delays. The cleanliness on the train was exemplary.
