Train was on time in spite the large number of passengers waiting on the platform. Seats are comfortable, with AC and kind staff that sells food and drinks. Bathrooms are cleaned. There are plugs for changing your phone and theoretically also WiFi but it did not work for my phone. Train stops in several places and there is always an announcement so that you have enough time to get ready. You need to exchange 12go voucher for the Kai ticket at the train station.

The train was absolutely freezing, we told the staff but nothing was done about it. We had jackets and blankets, but ended up sick with a cold after a 7-hour journey. Instead of enjoying our holiday, we're now taking medicines.
