Disadvantages
IconDelay of 10 minutes
My train from Wuppertal to Essen wasn't very full, which is why it was quiet in the passenger compartment. There were plenty of power sockets and a stable wifi connection. I also found the seats very comfortable and they had a large table with plenty of legroom. The train and the toilets were very clean and the staff were very friendly. However, the train had been delayed by 10 minutes. But this wasn't too bad for me as I didn't have to change trains.
