IconOften occupied toilet
The train journey was very satisfying. I was impressed by the punctuality of the train, as it sometimes departed and arrived exactly on time. The ticket price was reasonable, especially compared to other means of transport. The cleanliness of the train was very good, both in the compartments and in the communal areas. The free wifi worked smoothly and made for a productive journey. The toilets were always well maintained, which had a positive impact on the overall impression. The seating comfort was pleasant, the seats offered sufficient legroom and were ergonomically designed. All in all, a highly recommended train connection that I would gladly use again.
