DelayUnfortunately, the train journey with train number 1907 was not entirely satisfactory. The train was delayed, which was a bit annoying. The journey was otherwise quiet and comfortable despite the delay. The seats were cosy and the train had a good interior. Sanitary facilities were good but not particularly clean. All in all, the journey was acceptable, although the delay marred the experience somewhat. The network was quite alright.
