Advantages
IconStaff remained calm and friendly
Iconno delay, no change
IconGood equipment
Disadvantages
IconHigh capacity utilisation with too loud an atmosphere
Iconsome toilets defective
IconPoor cleanliness
The train had been very full here, so I couldn't get a seat. It had also been very loud on the train, as there was a football match going on. As a result, the train was also very dirty. What's more, some of the toilets weren't working and there was a build-up in front of the only toilet. However, the staff remained very calm and friendly. The nice announcements in particular kept me happy. The train had a good internet connection and power sockets, but only at the seats. Despite the high capacity utilisation, the train had not been delayed. I didn't have to change trains here either.
