I like the fact that you just sit on the train and don't have to do anything and just enjoy the ride. You have your own little table at every seat, a power socket, lots of space and wifi throughout the train. Everything is also clean. The staff are always nice and helpful. Everything is very pleasant. Unfortunately, there are often delays or the trains are cancelled altogether. In the end, the price is still justified for the service.
