Pros

Fast and punctual

Very fast

Cons

None

This train connection was very punctual. The timetable was adhered to, resulting in a smooth and stress-free journey. The price of the train ticket was reasonable, although not too cheap. The overall cleanliness of the train was very good. The seats, aisles and sanitary facilities were cleaned regularly. The only small deduction was for some dirt on the windows. The wifi on the train worked reliably for the most part. The connection was stable and the speed made it possible to surf the internet comfortably. The toilet on the train was clean and well maintained. There were enough toilets for the passengers and the condition was satisfactory throughout the journey. The seats were very comfortable, the backrests were adjustable and there was plenty of legroom. The only point deduction was for the lack of power sockets at the seats. This train journey was a positive experience that won me over.

Pros

On time and fast

Very good wifi on the train

Cons

There were no difficulties

I was surprised by the punctuality of the train, as there are often delays with Deutsche Bahn lately, the booking went smoothly and I quickly found my seat, the seats were very wide, there was enough space in the footwell, the seats had an armrest and a headrest. During the journey, it was easy to connect to the wifi, the connection was always stable, and there were plenty of sockets on the train. The toilet facilities were a little unclean, but I think that's usual in places like this, otherwise they were well equipped. The staff were friendly and accommodating. I reached my destination on time and was very satisfied with this train connection.
