The train was very pleasant to ride and you could even sleep. There was a very pleasant atmosphere throughout the train and it was very clean. The price is quite normal, as always. Wifi was available for everyone, which I find very good, because then, even if you have online tickets, you can show that. The toilet was very clean and was cleaned regularly. The staff was very nice and helpful.
