The train ride from Berlin to Karlsruhe was surprisingly smooth and went very well, despite the breakdown of one carriage. The train left Berlin on time and also arrived at the destination station in Karlsruhe almost on schedule. The service was as always very excellent and the staff was, at least to me, very friendly and helpful. Although one train car broke down, this had no noticeable effect on the trip to Karlsruhe. The train attendants were well organized and made sure that all passengers found their seats. The train was not that crowded per se. There was enough room for everyone and the trip went without a hitch. I had a ticket for first class. Therefore, the amenities on the train were very comfortable and modern. I had enough space at my seat and in addition, the WiFi on board was also always reliable. I was therefore able to use the travel time productively for my business activities. Overall, the train ride from Berlin to Karlsruhe at this time of day was very pleasant despite the lack of carriages and I would use this connection again and again.
