A very great train connection with only 11 minutes! The ICE is very clean and the seats look great. There are plenty of sockets and bins, and the toilet also looked very tidy. The only thing that I find possibly negative is the price for the rather short distance. But the points mentioned above make up for that!

Last week on Wednesday, I took the train from Bochum to Dortmund in the evening. I arrived in Dortmund relatively on time and was fortunately able to charge my mobile phone on the train because my seat had a power socket. I got this seat even though I hadn't made a seat reservation in advance. I also liked the cleanliness of the train and the price-performance ratio.

Pros

Comfort

Cons

None

The return journey from Bochum Hauptbahnhof to Dortmund Hauptbahnhof with the ICE 518 was short-lived and very comfortable. The ICE was hardly full and you could even sit down for the short journey of about 10 minutes. On this route, too, I have to emphasise the time advantage over the car. Since the price performance of about 12 euros per trip and the comfort were absolutely right, I can only recommend the train journey from Bochum to Dortmund.
