If your looking for economy...good choice. If your looking for comfort, look elsewhere. Loud and hot. Seats are church pews. Regardless, got me to my destination overnight in 10 hours. I'll take the 2nd or 1st class train next time

It was easy to find, and we were shown to our beds. It was cold enough, and there were people selling food. Some of the windows rattled a bit and the main lights in the cabin were kept on but other than that it was a good trip.
