PunctualityUnfortunately, as is so often the case, the train was late and I had to wait an extra fifteen minutes for it. But apart from that, the journey was pleasant. The journey was quite short and it was very quiet during the journey. The seats were very comfortable compared to other trains. I also had enough legroom. The price is justified for the journey and fair even with the delay.
