The staff were very helpful and could help me directly when I had questions. The ticket inspector was super friendly, took his time and all the passengers had fun and something to laugh about. That's what makes train travel fun. There were plenty of power sockets and the hygiene of the toilets was particularly good. The train was also punctual and the price was top.
