Advantages
IconReach your destination quickly
IconEffective distance
IconGood punctuality rate so far
Disadvantages
IconTicket solution not possible in case of high capacity utilisation although there is space
IconSockets did not work
IconToilets smell unpleasant
The facilities were okay, wifi was partially working and sockets not. It was stupid because I couldn't show my ticket on the return journey as the battery was empty. However, the ticket inspectors were accommodating and provided the charging cable and were very friendly. Cleanliness was good in the cabins, but it did stink in the toilets. The duration of the journey is ideal, it could hardly have been better.
