The review
The budget option on this train, and not one we would choose for an overnight journey of more than 14 hours. The seats recline little, breakfast is not listed and there is no restaurant car. Worth considering only for a short hop on part of the route; otherwise a mini cabin or sleeper is the sensible step up.
For
- Lowest fares on the train
- Wi-Fi, reading lamps and wireless charging at every seat
- Generous space for luggage, bicycles and skis
Against
- Seats recline little; Back-on-Track found them hard and flat
- No bed, no privacy and no breakfast listed
- No restaurant car
