My train arrived on time. I sat down and put my luggage down. The train looked clean. The internet was good throughout. Then I went to the loo, which was also clean and hygienic, with no shortage of toilet paper, soap or sanitiser. The staff were very nice and helpful. I had several sockets at my seat, which I could use to charge my mobile phone and laptop. It was a great journey.
