Timely service, arrived a little early at destination. Comfortable, but the seat my partner had would not stay upright, it would slowly recline.

While we were riding, there were an odd series of noises, noises that I presume were the audio of a film, coming from the speakers above the seats. The noises were quite annoying and went on for some time before the attendant came to stop them.
