train was delayed by an hour, and they only informed on the boarding timing.
the cabin was filled with locals, the people behind kept talking in Vietnamese very loudly. seat was decent (if you're not a clean freak), but the toilet was horrible and stunk quite badly, could smell from the cabin away actually, thankfully we had masks on.
after alighting, we realised there were the better cabins (with better seats). advice not to take the lowest grade one
Booking with12go was easy and the journey was comfortable. But the communication and interaction with the local travel company was frustrating. The time and location booked with 12go was not honoured by the local company: they could have picked me up from my hotel, and the pickup was late. But they did not explain this in the WhatsApp messages they sent. So I ended up making my own way to the location specified in the 12go confirmation and waiting.
