Actually noneMy train arrived exactly on time, which I found very positive. When I got on the train, it was very clear and bright. There was a ticket machine and a small bistro on the train, which offered fresh coffee and various snacks. The seats were nice and wide, very clean and really comfortable. The toilet facilities had everything I needed to eat properly, and they were spacious and bright. I really liked the price-performance ratio, it was definitely cheaper than travelling by car.
