Advantages
Good price-performance ratioFast and punctualDisadvantages
Everything went smoothlyThe train service was mostly on time, with only minor delays of a few minutes. The ticket price was reasonable, but slightly improved facilities or additional service could optimise the price-performance ratio. Overall cleanliness was satisfactory. Seats and carriages were cleaned regularly. The wifi on board was mostly stable, but there were problems with the connection in some sections of the route. The toilet facilities were mostly clean and well equipped. However, there was a bit of a queue in front of the toilets at peak times. Overall, I found this train connection to be very pleasant and would be happy to recommend it to others.
