Train was on time. It was hot due to aircondition mulfunction. Toilets were not clean.
Hamdi K.
It had a working restroom and WiFi. However, it arrived and took off late. And they have a back row with 5 seats, all taken. It was horrible having an 8-hr overnight trip not being able to even lean on either side while someone had an empty seat up front.
