I can still remember that trip well, even though it was a while ago! I travelled by train with my father at the time and the staff were very nice, the seats were also comfortable and it was clean. Even in the toilets! However, the journey was very expensive.

Disadvantages

The Augsburg to Leipzig route involved a change of trains. Both trains were very full. However, the on-board staff were very friendly. The seats were equipped with wifi and sockets. The toilet was also very clean. The seats themselves were very comfortable. And the scenery you could see on the way to Leipzig was also beautiful. Both trains left on time and I also arrived in Leipzig on time. The price was more than okay and I would travel this route again.
