This train had been very full on my journey, so many passengers who boarded after me didn't get a seat. That's why it had been quite noisy. The train had been slightly delayed by 5 minutes. I have to criticise the fact that there was no legroom in the seats. However, power sockets and wifi were available and worked. On the whole, the train looked clean and the toilets were clean too. The conductor was always friendly and was very quick with the checks. There was also the special feature that a snack machine with coffee was available.
