I travelled from Berlin to Hanover in second class on the ICE 148. It was a very pleasant and, above all, inexpensive journey. The train was in good condition, both technically and visually. The train was clean, as were the toilets. The train was not delayed for the entire journey. As it was very warm that day, I was glad that the air conditioning worked. It was a shame that there was no wifi.

My journey from Berlin to Hanover was flawless. The train arrived on time and the staff helped me to lift my suitcases onto the train. The journey went without any problems and was very pleasant, we left on time and arrived on time. It was a direct connection, without changing trains. Very comfortable seats, everything clean and hygienic. The journey was quiet and the train was not crowded. The power sockets worked and I was able to charge my mobile phone during the journey. Overall a good ride and nothing to complain about.

IconExpensive products in the bistro
I travelled second class on the IC 148 from Berlin to Hanover. The journey took a short 2 hours. It was a modern and well-equipped train with free wifi, power sockets and an on-board bistro. However, the prices in the bistro were a bit overpriced, in my opinion. The train was clean, as were the toilets. There were no delays during the entire journey. I can recommend this connection.

IconComfort
My train journey with FlixTrain from Berlin Hauptbahnhof to Hanover on 13.05.2023 was a positive experience overall. The provision of power sockets in the compartment allowed me to charge my electronic devices during the journey. The compartment was clean and well maintained. The food options were adequate, though not very varied. The train arrived on time, which facilitated my travel planning. Booking tickets was simple and straightforward. However, there were a few negative points. The volume in the compartment was sometimes disturbing, as conversations of other passengers or noises from outside affected the quietness. Seat comfort also left much to be desired, especially on longer journeys. Better padding or adjustable backrests would be desirable. Overall, the train journey from Berlin to Hanover with FlixTrain was a solid option. The amenities, food, punctuality and ease of reservation make the travel experience enjoyable. However, there is still room for improvement, especially in terms of noise in the compartment and seating comfort.

I travelled from Berlin to Hanover on IC 148. It was a second-class journey without seat reservation. For the fact that it was an IC, the journey time was nevertheless very short. It was not a new train, but the seats were extremely comfortable and convenient. The train was on time throughout until arrival in Hanover. The service was good and the train was clean. Unfortunately, there was no free wifi on board.

Super train ride, you can't really complain at all, except that there was no USB connection, which is very petty. The train had a pleasant temperature, the toilets and the entire train were very clean and you could sit comfortably. The conductor was also very cool and perfectly nice, as were the other passengers. In addition, we arrived on time and the on-board bistro was very good. Simply TOP!

I travelled with the IC 148 from Berlin to Hanover, in second class. The journey time was very short, the train took hardly more than 2 hours to Hannover. It was an extremely clean and well-maintained train with almost no visual defects. I did not make a reservation, yet there were enough seats so that I also got one. The train was not delayed for the entire journey and arrived in Hanover on time. Unfortunately, there was no free wifi on board.

I travelled from Berlin Hauptbahnhof to Hanover on IC 148. Despite being second class, the train was clean, the ashtrays and rubbish bins were emptied. It was very warm that day and I was very pleased that the air conditioning worked. The journey itself took a little less than two hours, which is very quick considering the distance. There was a bistro on board offering coffee and food.

That was my outward journey and I enjoyed it very much. The journey took about an hour and a half. My train was on time and I arrived more or less on time. The wifi was very good and I had a socket at my seat, which was convenient. It was quiet on the train. The staff had done a good job and were very friendly. Everywhere on the train was clean, as were the toilets. I can pass this trip on.
