IconStable wifi
Disadvantages
IconUnclean seats
A reliable train connection that has saved me many times. The journey doesn't take too long, with only a few stops in between. The train staff are always friendly and courteous. The seats are a little worn, and what I noticed negatively this time was that the seats were very dirty, a cleaning would be desirable. Otherwise, the wifi on the train is very stable and works very well. The toilet facilities are well maintained, spacious and bright. The price-performance ratio is reasonable and the DB app works smoothly.

I've never experienced this myself before, I had to change trains twice for one journey, so the journey time was extremely long because of the changes. Fortunately, the trains were on time, otherwise I would have waited an eternity for a replacement. It was quite clean on all three trains and I always had a very comfortable seat. The price was okay, but it could perhaps be reduced to one change.
