DelayAccording toThe journey was mixed. The train arrived ten minutes late, which was tight for me. It was clean inside, but my window seat was right next to a very noisy door. Wifi was barely usable. The staff were friendly, but couldn't provide any precise information about connections. OK for short journeys, but not ideal.

ComfortThe connection was without changing trains and much cheaper than by car. The train arrived on time and the journey was quiet. There was no catering on board, but the toilets were clean. The view was beautiful, especially on the overland section. The seat was okay, but a bit hard in the long run. There was hardly any service, but that doesn't bother me on a short journey.

Lack of cleanliness in the interiorThe train journey was mixed. Boarding was chaotic because the carriage didn't stop where it said it would. It was quite full inside, luckily I had a reservation. The seat was comfortable, but the cleanliness left a lot to be desired. There were still crumbs on the folding table and the windows were greasy. At least the journey was smooth and without any major delays. Overall okay, but with room for improvement.

According toFullThe train journey was okay overall, but nothing more. The train was on time, but the cleanliness left a lot to be desired. There were crumbs on my seat and the toilet was unfortunately not particularly clean. The seats are comfortable, but the carriage was quite full and it was noisy at times. The announcements were clear and timely, which was positive. It's good enough for a short journey, but for longer journeys I would like more comfort and cleanliness.
