Pro

Delicious food

Contra

the train was late

There was one small thing that I did not like, and that was the delay, but that was the only thing that I did not like. Otherwise, I liked everything, but I especially liked the food, because it tasted good, was healthy and very cheap. My seat was very comfortable and I had enough space. The wifi was OK. I also had access to electricity. The toilets were usable. Despite the small delay, I recommend the trip because it was the only negative.
