Pros
It wasn't terribly cold on there like it has been my previous trips.
Cons
The overhead speaker wasn't working properly (in the ceiling over seat 68) and when announcements were being made we could only hear a mumbled whisper.
Tips
While train is moving, hold on to the back of every seat for security so that you don't fall on seated riders.

Pros
The big seats.
Cons
There were too many passengers and not enough seats for the "coach" areas. Even though we had some seats reserved, we had to search for free seats. It would be much more appreciated if you get your own seat number, so you have your seats and you can find them and there ...More
Tips
Book your seats earlier.
