Advantages
Reach your destination quicklyEffective distanceGood punctuality rate so farDisadvantages
Ticket solution not possible in case of high capacity utilisation although there is spaceSockets did not workToilets smell unpleasantThe 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.
