Disadvantages
IconNone
The train always departs on time. We made the reservation online without any problems. The seats on the train are comfortable, even in 2nd class. There is free wifi, a power socket and an on-board restaurant on the train. The staff are always friendly. The prices in the on-board restaurant are a bit high, so my nephew has never eaten there. But apart from that, the journey is smooth and there are no changes.
