Pros

tasty food

Cons

the train was late

There was one small thing I didn't like, and that was the delay, but that was the only thing I didn't like. Apart from that, I liked everything, but I especially liked the food because it tasted good, was healthy and very cheap. My seat was very comfortable and I had enough space. The wifi was OK. I also had access to electricity. The toilets were usable. Despite the small delay, I recommend the trip as it was the only negative.

Pros

rapid travel

This ride was a quick ride and took about 1½ hours. I would like to say in advance that I can recommend the ride and deservedly rate it with 5 stars. I liked that the heaters were on as it was very cold. The staff were very friendly and humorous. The volume on the train was very pleasant. My roll was very tasty and so was my tea. A lot of attention was paid to hygiene, for example disinfectant. My ticket was also good in terms of price. I can very happily pass on the trip, as I had a very good time on the train. In addition, my train was on time.

Pros

Very strong wifi signal

As you can see in the picture, this was my outward journey in 2nd class. The wifi was really strong, I had no problems with the wifi at all. Also, the staff were very nice, the driver too, as he had spoken to me before the journey and he was very nice. The toilets were very clean and a lot of attention was paid to hygiene. There were many things on the menu, I liked my food too. It was so quiet on the train that I could still work on my laptop. The trip gets 5 stars and I would recommend it to others.

Pros

On time

Quick

Favourable price

Beautiful view

Cons

wifi

The trip was booked via the German railway and took place in cooperation with the Czech railway, accordingly a train from the Czech Republic. The train was on time and empty, so it was easy to find a seat. The staff was very nice and fluent in German. The seats all had power sockets and were very comfortable. The toilets were super clean and well maintained. It was quiet on the train and very pleasant to travel. Unfortunately, the wifi was throttled as soon as more than 500mb were used. However, as the journey was fast and the view was really nice, this was not too bad. Dresden was reached on time and the announcement was easy to understand. I would recommend the route to anyone and always go again, also because Dresden is a beautiful city.

Pros

Punctuality

Cons

Too full

Few seats

I travelled from Potsdam to Berlin and from Berlin to Dresden over the Christmas period. The train was very crowded and noisy. It was on time and I didn't have to change trains. It is very expensive for this relatively short distance. There was wifi, but it was very slow.

Pros

entertaining staff

That was my outward journey and it was great! There was a lot of attention paid to hygiene. The staff were very friendly and went out of their way. There was plenty of space for luggage. In addition, my train arrived on time, as expected. My ticket was relatively cheap. The trip gets 5 stars and is highly recommended.

Pros

Price-performance ratio

It was a wonderful trip, with no negative things at all. The best thing was the price-performance ratio, namely my ticket was very cheap, and I also got a great deal. In any case, I want to say right from the start that I can recommend the trip and that the five out of five stars are one hundred percent deserved. What I also really liked was the wifi. I also had a power socket at my seat, which was comfortable. The atmosphere on the train was amazing! It was relatively quiet on the train, which was another reason why I was able to concentrate. In addition, it arrived on time and the toilets were very hygienic and clean. We also liked the service very much. In general, it was a very very good ride. Besides, this was my outward journey.

Pros

cheap

Very stable wifi

My ride was totally super! The most important thing was that I didn't have to worry about anything being stolen, as my valuables were very well protected. Then I really liked the wifi. I also liked that the staff were very friendly, nice and helpful. The toilets were also clean. Yes, I can recommend this trip to anyone, as the service worked well. I would like to say that this was my outward journey.

Pros

very good food

Cons

My train was late.

I would like to say in advance that I can recommend the trip to everyone, as there were many good things. There was one small bad thing and that is that my train was late, but it wasn't that bad. I had wifi and my seat was comfortable. My ticket was OK and the toilets were clean. If you needed food, it was also provided. The thing that impressed me the most was the food, it was very tasty. Great ride, or rather great outward journey.

Pros

Cons

{}

It was a very pleasant and relaxed journey. My train was on time and waited until all passengers boarded. The staff looked very happy and had a nice look at me when I got on.
