We did not book the train tickets in advance and were afraid to buy it from the 3rd party. We got the tickets over night, no problem in a train with QR code tickets. I recommend!
You can simply order it...

Booked the 7 hour trip with my husband and we’re really looking forward to it. We boarded the train to find we had been seated separately. l was next to a random man for the whole journey. l couldn’t even see my husband. What would have been an amazing trip was ruined. l felt awkward the entire journey. No where in the small print does it say you may not be seated together.
Highly Recommended

Wonderful experience with this company. Communicated every step of the process, and answered my many questions immediately, via WhatsApp. They even messaged me after the train ride to make sure all was ok. I highly recommend them!
