Pros

Cons
IconPersonnel
You could definitely tell that cleanliness and hygiene were the top priority for the staff. So that fulfils the hygiene aspect. I can say that the wifi was quite good compared to other train journeys. But where there was definitely room for improvement was in the behaviour of the staff, who obviously had no interest in the well-being of the passengers. Unfortunately only three stars
