Advantages
IconToilet rooms smell good
IconNot much delay
Disadvantages
Icon10 minutes late
The wifi was good and the seats were comfortable and clean - as were the toilets! The staff were very nice and friendly and the internet was also relatively good, better than you normally get from trains. Unfortunately, I didn't have any power sockets at my seats, but that wasn't too bad either. In summary, the train journey was quite pleasant.
