Overall ok, although annoying that ticket checkers onboard allowed some people to sit in places that others got moved on from
Adrian M.February 29, 2024
I did not realize that the coach train was separate from the business train. Otherwise, the scenery was great, the passengers quiet, and the snack bar man very polite. Just a little excitement at the beginning.
