Cons

Noisy family in the on-board bistro

This train journey had been very pleasant. The occupancy rate of the train was low and thus the volume was also quite quiet in the passenger compartment. There was a family in the on-board bistro who had made a lot of noise. The toilets and the passenger compartment were very clean. The seats were comfortable and the train had adequate facilities with wifi and power sockets. There was even a comfort check-in on this train, which I tried out and it worked great. The train arrived at its destination on time.
