The journey from Bamberg to Nuremberg was quite relaxing. I really enjoyed the journey, especially as the train was not so full and the atmosphere was therefore quiet. The seats on the train were comfortable and there were plenty of power sockets available. There was also an internet connection. Unfortunately, there was no snack machine on the train. The staff were very friendly and carried out a quick ticket check. The cleanliness on the train and in the toilets was also perfect. I also arrived at my destination without any delays and didn't have to change trains.
