Pros
IconVery good comfort
IconGood equipment (e.g. sockets)
IconVery nice service
IconAlmost everything was clean
IconReasonable price-performance ratio
Cons
IconThe food selection was really limited
IconThe toilet cleanliness could have been better
My long-distance train journey from Zurich to Milan was really impressive and offered an all-round pleasant travelling experience. The train's interior was modern and functional, which increased my comfort throughout the journey. The seats were not only comfortable but also equipped with power sockets, which allowed me to charge my devices and be productive. In addition, the generous legroom also contributed to the pleasant journey. The service during the journey was particularly commendable. The staff were friendly, attentive and always ready to help with enquiries. This contributed significantly to a positive atmosphere. The cleanliness of the train also deserves recognition. The seating areas and communal areas were well maintained, which contributed to a pleasant and hygienic environment. Unfortunately, however, there were two points of criticism. The choice of food was limited and the cleanliness of the toilets left a lot to be desired. However, this could be remedied by an improved food selection and regular cleaning. In terms of value for money, the train journey was reasonable. The amenities and service provided justified the fare, despite the shortcomings mentioned. Overall, my train journey from Zurich to Milan was a pleasant experience, which I would gladly repeat.
Pros
IconVery clean
IconGood comfort
IconReasonable ticket price
Cons
IconUnfriendly staff
IconPoor internet
IconLong journey with a delay
My train journey from Zurich to Milan was fine. It was very clean throughout the train, even in the toilets. The seats were very comfortable, which was very pleasant for me and I had a very good night's sleep. The ticket price for this journey was reduced, which is why it was very reasonable. Unfortunately, there were also flaws in the journey. One was that the staff were rather unfriendly and never smiled. Also, the internet was very unstable, which was annoying. And it was a long journey, with many delays, which delayed the whole journey a lot. For these reasons the journey was only okay and not super nevertheless recommendable.
