    Screen | Jose Renato C p. | 2019/04/02
    "The screen which shows the time, temp. etc is located on the up right of the coach so for a person seating in the right window, like in case, it is no easy to see it. That's the bad thing compared with the Japanese Shinkansen which the screen is in the middle of the coach. "
