IconMany delays
There was wifi and a power socket on the train, which worked perfectly. The seats are very comfortable and there is plenty of space. When the train is crowded, it is also a bit noisy, but many also stick to the quiet area. The service is very friendly and helpful. It is also very clean everywhere. Unfortunately, the trains are often unpunctual. But still, the price-performance ratio is good.
