The train only arrived five minutes late, which is okay for me personally. The seats on the train were very comfortable, they had a pleasant headrest as well as comfortable armrests, and there was also a small folding table where you could put your water bottle etc. The wifi on the train worked very well and was always available. The corridors were tidy and very clean, I couldn't see any dirt on the floor. The toilet facilities were well equipped and very clean. The staff were friendly and always on hand. Overall, a very pleasant train journey that I would gladly repeat.
