The journey had been very nice. The staff took my luggage from me at the door and the train left on time. Everything was available on the train in terms of equipment. The only thing I had to criticise was the noise level on the train. The staff could have intervened.

The seats were comfortable and the train was clean. In addition, the wifi worked reliably, which made the journey pleasant. The staff were friendly. Unfortunately, the selection in the dining car was limited and the prices for the food and drinks seemed a bit high. In addition, the power sockets were scarce, which limited the ability to charge electronic devices. Overall, however, an acceptable train journey.
