Booking and checking in at the platform was very smooth. There were two trains and I had to ask people to find which one was to Kep. The train was running really fast in most of rual areas and arrived at Kep one hour sooner than the ticket said. The noise from engine, wheels and horns were sometimes unbearable, but better than unsafe travel with buses and taxies. The train itself needs maintenance. The window was stuck and the fan was broken.
