🔍 Traveler Notes & Feedback

Budget-friendly and well-managed, but Sleeper class is basic—not ideal for elderly travelers or those expecting comfort.

Frequent issue highlighted: Special trains tend to run late, often by several hours, leading to discomfort and unpredictability.

“Special trains are meant to be last resort… very low on priority list.”
turn0reddit25
Onboard space can feel cramped, and food/catering delivery sometimes delays reach the train.

“There is no pantry so the food… god knows when it’ll get delivered.”
