Unpunctual

The train journey was very pleasant and comfortable, but unfortunately the train left late and therefore arrived at the destination station too late. Otherwise, the train was nice and empty and it was a very pleasant journey in itself. There were also sockets on the train for charging mobile phones and laptops. The staff were very nice and were also able to help. I can recommend this train to anyone travelling this route
