Capacity utilisationVolumeThe journey by DB from Bremen to Oldenburg was very good.
We got very comfortable seats in a very clean compartment.
The toilet was also clean and the staff at the ticket control very nice.
Unfortunately, the occupancy rate itself was very high and therefore the noise level was a bit higher.
Gladly again.

DelayYesterday I travelled from Bremen Hauptbahnhof to Oldenburg Hauptbahnhof by Deutsche Bahn. Unfortunately, the train was late when I arrived in Oldenburg, so I missed my connecting bus. Therefore, I have to regretfully say that the price ratio was okay, but the performance ratio was not.
Basically, I have to say that the service, the hygiene and the conductors on the train were very good and I would recommend the trip to others, provided the train was not late.

DelayedToilets not cleanThe IC 2432 train from Bremen to Oldenburg was a little late. As I no longer had to make a connection, I didn't find the 10-minute delay particularly bad. Basically, the train is clean and tidy. There is plenty of space as it is rarely overcrowded. However, the toilets were not clean on this journey and one of them was also blocked. But the price for the journey was great. Wifi was available and adequate for normal wifi.
