I travelled from London to Leeds on the London North Eastern Railway C46705. The train was very clean, both in the seating area and in the toilets. The train departed on time at 8.33am and arrived in Lietz at 10.47am. The staff on board were also very friendly and always had a smile on their faces, which created a good atmosphere.
