It was poor conditions on my train car. The seat I was given was narrower than the rest making it extremely uncomfortable

Didn’t like that we had to pick up our tickets from a different location before the train. You can send it straight to us or have us get it at the train station

Beds were quite comfortable. The room locked. It was possible to close the air vents as this was a bit cold. The train left on time and was only a few minutes later than advertised. The toilet was not great as it was quite smelly and very wet so tricky to use. Although someone did clean it in the middle of the night. However the cabin with a bed was very preferable to sitting up all night. Well worth the money.
