Advantages
PunctualNiceDisadvantages
The toilet stankThe journey took a very long time. We were on the road for a good 7 hours. I found the seats comfortable throughout the journey. The only thing to criticise is that the toilet was very smelly, but it was relatively clean. The train staff were friendly and we arrived in Bari Centrale on time. I didn't change trains. The train was very well cleaned and it didn't stink. It was noisy for about an hour, but otherwise it was fine. There were power sockets.
Advantages
Good seatsMainly quiet.Disadvantages
-The journey took seven and a half hours and was correspondingly exhausting. However, I can't complain about the seats, they were comfortable the whole time. It was also quiet most of the time and I was able to work well, I was able to charge my laptop via a power socket. The conductor was friendly to me and the train was very well cleaned. The toilet was fine. I did not change trains.
Advantages
CleanDisadvantages
.The journey offered nothing but advantages. It was clean everywhere and I didn't notice any dirt. Due to the fact that everyone had a comfortable bench, the atmosphere on the train was very relaxed. I advise everyone to buy the ticket on the website to avoid unnecessary stress on the spot. I would also like to point out that I had a few problems with orientation at the beginning. The staff were able to help me with this.
Advantages
Internet connectionDisadvantages
there have been noneI always test my internet connection on every train journey. On this journey, the average internet connection was 12 megabits per second, which I would consider average. The sanitary facilities and the floor were very hygienic. The cleaning staff did an excellent job. I liked having a table where I could put my food.
Advantages
PriceDisadvantages
HygieneOne positive thing I can say is that I paid a good price for the ticket. Punctuality was also guaranteed. I was very disappointed as my seat was not clean, there was no good wifi and as if that wasn't enough, the staff were unfriendly. I probably just had a bad day. The amount paid for the ticket was reasonable.
Advantages
CleanlinessDisadvantages
:From all the experiences I had on the trip, I am in a position to give a well-founded conclusion. The trip deserves a 5-star rating and my warmest recommendation. The impressions I was able to gather were very clean sanitary facilities, as well as a very stable wifi connection. The price of the ticket was very reasonable. I recommend buying the ticket online.
Advantages
CleanlinessDisadvantages
PunctualityI was actually very satisfied overall. The train arrived about 10 minutes late, but that's not too bad. Apart from that, I can report very clean and hygienic toilets and very friendly and helpful staff. Finally, I would like to recommend buying the ticket and give it five stars. My advice is to buy the ticket online.
Advantages
TemperatureDisadvantages
nothingI have nothing negative to say about the train journey. The aspects of punctuality, comfort and punctuality were all perfectly fulfilled. In terms of price, I can also say that it was well worth travelling by train instead of by car. I had problems finding my way around at first and asked the staff for help. They helped me and explained how to get to the right platform.
Advantages
PunctualityDisadvantages
In fact, there were noI only had positive experiences and impressions on this connection. For me, these included the punctuality, the fact that the toilets and seating area were very clean and that the staff made a very nice and informed impression.

Advantages
CleanlinessDisadvantages
UnpunctualI am very happy because the train was clean and hygienic. The sanitary facilities were thoroughly cleaned and the seats were very comfortable.
