Advantages

Punctual

Disadvantages

Personnel

This time the journey began with a positive experience. The train was surprisingly punctual. What I didn't like at all, however, was the staff, who were anything but helpful or friendly. However, I must praise the cleaning staff, who did an excellent job in terms of cleanliness. I bought the ticket at a customer-friendly price.

Advantages

almost 10 minutes late

The journey was very short and took just under an hour. Unfortunately, we arrived in Parma about 10 minutes late. But I'm still satisfied because the staff were super nice and the seats were very comfortable. There were power sockets and it was quiet on the train. I also didn't have to change trains.

Advantages

Disadvantages

Hygiene

At the time, I thought that hygiene was good. From today's perspective, however, I can say that not much attention was paid to cleanliness on the train. There were no sanitiser dispensers anywhere and the seats were not cleaned properly. Unfortunately, I also remember unmotivated staff who didn't really care about making the passengers feel comfortable. Unfortunately, this was only good enough for 3 stars. The train was on time except for 4 minutes.

Advantages

None

As I am used to, the train arrived at the station on time. I quickly found my own seat and just lay back for the first part of the journey.
