It was a Fast Train. Clean and the staffs were helpful and friendly, making the journey easier and more enjoyable. You can buy food and drinks, they are not as tasty as in restaurants. However, it is provided for someone who is needed. The train station is big and has lifts, which is importance for many passengers like me who carry heavy bags.

The detailed description of the departure and arrival stations was very helpful. The entry procedure was also accurate. But if you go to the ticket counter and get printed tickets using your voucher, the entry is even faster.
