The toilets were uncleanOverall, the train was comfortable, even if the noise was a little annoying during rush hour. The pleasantly soft and well-holding seat cushions make even longer journeys comfortable. The lighting is pleasantly subdued, which allows you to relax and read without glare. I particularly liked the friendly service provided by the train staff, who were always helpful. However, it was a little unpleasant that the toilets were not clean from time to time.

The trains and the toilets were clean. The Wi-Fi worked well for the most part. There was a Board Bistro on both trains. As I had an Interrail ticket, I only had to pay for the seats.
