Was on the CDE last Friday and Saturday and found it to be one of the nicest trains I've travelled on for a long time (ICE excepted of course) The Interior, seating layout with tables and dining car with (ice for the bulmers) were all very good, I was able to slag my dutch missus that it puts their trains to shame. The ride quality was good (I travelled in coaches C & G)
One thing I'd like to point out is everybody in Hueston Boards towards coach C and again at Thurles everybody got into coach C and the dining car. The next day I got into coach G in Limerick Junction which had loads of space as I'd expected and a trip to the dining car confirmed what I'd seen the day before coach C was jammers.
A poster on platforms indicating coach positions relitive to the station, normal in the rest of Europe, would help alleviate this problem or do people hate travelling alone.
