I really enjoyed my train journey from Berlin Hauptbahnhof to Halle and found it generally very pleasant. We both left and arrived on time and the train was one of the more modern trains. The time on the train passed very quickly and the train staff were very friendly at all times. On the journey I also had a coffee in the Board Bistro, which was very tasty. The wifi worked very well and so did the power socket at the seat. Thumbs up in every respect!
