The best thing I liked about my trip was the following: 1. It was convenience as opposed to other booking websites 2. I saved money as opposed to traveling by car. 3. My train ride was comfortable and relaxing.

Cons

I am not a frequent traveler by train, so I must say using the train as a means of transportation is very nice, especially where I had to travel too. One thing I would like to say about the travel is the announcer needs to speak loud and clear instead of soft and sexy.

Tips

I would like to say using this website was amazing and I would recommend this site to anyone who would like to save money and enjoy a relaxing ride.
