On this day we travelled from Bonn HBF to Düsseldorf HBF, for a really top price we left at 15:04 with the RE5 (28522). On the journey, which took just under an hour, I have to praise the hygiene in the toilets, which was really excellent. Unfortunately, the train was very full, which was to be expected on such a route. The noise level was correspondingly high, but still within reasonable limits. Nevertheless, it was a good journey.
