La verdad no vuelvo a ir con ouigo jamás, Suelen llegan tarde casi siempre el mío en este caso 15 min pero en el trayecto pasó algo que se atrasó más de 1hora de lo previsto , es inaceptable que después de retrasarse no tengan servicio de bar ni si quiera para una botella de agua en un trayecto que se nos hizo casi más de 3 horas siendo un ave de alta velocidad ,el wifi no funciona y que los vagones y asientos sean sucios, manchados y mal olientes. Porfavor OUIGO tomar medidas y hacer algo al respecto que el billete me costó 20€ cada uno 40€ en total, entiendo que sea un compañía barata pero esto es inaceptable prefiero pagar más y tener la comodidad y seguridad de Renfe
