Advantages
Environmentally friendlyOn timeDisadvantages
CleanlinessMy train ticket from Berlin to Duisburg really impressed me! Firstly, the environmentally friendly option made me feel good. Secondly, the train was super punctual, which made my travel planning easier. But, here comes the "but", the cleanliness on the train left a little to be desired. That was a shame, but it didn't overshadow the positive aspects. If environmental awareness and punctuality are important to you and you can overlook minor flaws, this train ticket is definitely recommendable. I would definitely use it again.
Advantages
Travelling in your sleepDisadvantages
UnpunctualMy train journey from Berlin to Duisburg was a pleasant experience overall. There are a few aspects I would like to emphasise. Thanks to the early departure time at 4.25am, I was able to take a nap in peace as there weren't many passengers on board and those who were present seemed to be just as tired and asleep. The quiet atmosphere helped to make the journey pleasant. The wifi on board was sufficient. Which allowed me to work during the journey and stay connected en route. The cleanliness and comfort of the seats in first class also deserve recognition. They offered enough legroom and I was able to lean back and relax in comfort. Unfortunately, the train did not arrive on time. Nevertheless, the service and friendliness of the railway staff was good and they were available for questions and support. The price-performance ratio of the train journey from Berlin to Duisburg was acceptable overall. Overall, the train offers a comfortable way of travelling the route. Especially for those who want to sleep and work in peace. You should be prepared for possible delays.

DelayWhat I didn't like was that the train was unfortunately around 20 minutes late. However, I was very positive about the excellent wifi connection. I also liked the calmness that was noticeable on the train. Overall, I found the journey very pleasant despite the time aspect. The train was also clean and hygienic.
The sanitary facilities were really well cleaned by train standards.
