Thalys - a horrible train
The Thalys is a train based on the French TGV, it runs between Paris, Brussels, Köln and Amsterdam.
It is an appalling train. The seats are cramped and a lot of "window" seats just give you a view of the curtains. There is not enough space for luggage and it gets left in the doorways. At the next stop the platform was this side and all the stuff had to be moved.
Trouble is nearly all the seats are face-to-back, airline style, only the difference betweens trains and aircraft is that planes have a baggage hold but trains don't.
Compare the Danish IC3 train
