Communication was very good and tickets worked out. Only problem was my tickets were delivered to the wrong hotel, even though the envelope was addressed correctly. Luckily it wasn’t too far away and I was able to find where they went and pick them up

Pick up of ticket went smooth. Next to the station is a weekend market, so spent some time there. 1st class car is good for traveling. We had a 2 hour delay die to construction, but no issue - just had a bit more sleep.
