There were clean toilets and the train left on time and arrived on time. The view was also very pleasant and it was nice to see the countryside out of the window. The food was very tasty, but unfortunately there was a child sitting behind me who was shouting the whole time, but after a quick coffee with the father he told his son to go to sleep instead. I can only recommend this trip, it was very worthwhile.
