Advantages
IconFriendly staff
IconNo delays and without changing trains
IconPower sockets and snack machine available
IconCleanliness on the train and in the toilets
Disadvantages
Iconlittle legroom
IconNo stable internet connection
IconNo storage space for luggage
The train was normally full on this journey and therefore had a normal volume. However, the seats on the train were not very comfortable. Especially as there was no legroom at all, as there were only rows of seats and no 4-seater seats. There was also no possibility to store luggage. Otherwise, there were power sockets and a snack machine, but unfortunately no stable internet connection. The staff here were friendly and competent. The cleanliness was also good, which I must emphasise, especially in the toilets. Overall, the train had hardly been delayed and it had not been necessary to change trains.
