Carolin DThe train was incredibly overcrowded, they fit way too many seats into the carriage and unfortunately, the fellow passengers were rather rude and uncooperative, which is why it took forever to get onboard and finally be allowed to sit in one's own seat. Definitely go for first class if ever traveling on this train.

Olivier JThe booking was set, paid and accepted for the 4h41pm and has not been honored. We have had to postpone to the 18h45 train with impact on a connecting transfer. You should not propose and further more accept the paiement for trip that you cannot honored. Having said that the customer service to manage this unexpected cancellation was vey kind and responsive

Autumn LGreat train comfortable and clean. One problem was for us being a family with young children the last minute confirmation was difficult for us. The email says 18hrs after payment not more than 48hrs before the travel date. For us it was confirmed 15hrs before the train departed and i had to email twice for help. Something to consider if you are a family and want to plan ahead.

Emmanuel RMuch to long to have a confirmation after paying. The announcement stated a 16-hour wait for confirmation, but it ended up being over 50 hours. We had to find another transportation solution.

Veenas Even though in the end we got the tickets 12 hours before departure time the whole experience was very stressful. The support wasn’t helpful as the reply to every email was literally the same. Not knowing whether you have tickets confirmed is the last thing you need when traveling with kids. The only advantage of using them as you get seats together.
For the rest of my trip I just booked it directly with LCR App and unfortunately didn’t get seats together.
