Beware if you choose to ride this train! For my American travelers who think this is like any other train (like I did), this is the bottom of the barrel train service. Horrible! My wife and I bought 1st class tickets and were assigned rail car #7, almost in the back. The air conditioning went out numerous times in all cabins to the point that people were complaining and getting up to go stand in the middle vestibule area between trains because it was slightly cooler. When I asked about the air, workers would just say “air sometimes yes, sometimes no”. I will NEVER travel this company again. Just horrible all the way around.
