I've been on many trains now and I have to say this was probably the most clean and comfortable I have been on in quite a while now. Plenty of seats available and onboard wifi made the trip a lot easier. Loads of space to store luggage and plugs as well if you want to charge your phone. Really not much else you can ask for on a train.
