Overnight train from/to Hanoi

The train from Hanoi to Sapa was the nicest Vietnam train I have been on. It was much newer, much cleaner, much cheerier than any of the others I have been on. Bed was aoubt the same but bedding/pillow was newer and actually appeared clean. Price was about $26USD, purchased from Sinh Cafe in Nha Trang and picked up at their Hanoi office a few days later.
The train I returned to Hanoi on was the worse I have ever been on, anywhere. Price was about $21USD, purchased in Sapa. Both the toilets in our car were not working, there were people sleeping on the floor in the hallway, the car stunk and the bedding was dirty. After about six Vietnamese train trips in one year's time, have to conclude that they are indeed a mixed bag. Unfortunately, more often than not, they have not been a pleasant experience.
