Advantages
QuickOn timeComfortWIFISocketDisadvantages
PriceThe train journey from Braunschweig to Hanover was fine.
The train was on time and the seats were comfortable. However, the view from the window was not particularly interesting. Unfortunately, the price for the journey was not that cheap.
I had the feeling that I had to pay more than I was actually prepared to.
However, there were also positive aspects. The train had pleasant air conditioning and there was enough space for my luggage. There was also a toilet on the train, which was very convenient. Overall, the journey was okay, but I think some people might be unhappy with the price. Nevertheless, it was a quick and easy way to get from Braunschweig to Hannover.
Advantages
Was shortDisadvantages
NoneI was very happy with the journey. It went by very quickly and was really relaxed! The train left on time and arrived on time, and I didn't have to change trains. The seats were very comfortable and there was plenty of legroom. The toilets were fine and usable. The staff were friendly and helpful. I think the value for money is good and travelling by train is worthwhile.
Advantages
ReceptionDisadvantages
NoneOn the journey home, I stopped off in Hanover, just like on the outward journey. What was particularly nice to see was the incredibly fast network and good mobile phone reception. As usual, the sanitary facilities were kept very clean and were super hygienic. The staff were always helpful and very friendly. The train was on time and the journey was pleasant. I can therefore only recommend it.
Advantages
PricePersonnelDisadvantages
PunctualHygieneUtilisationThe train journey on the Westfalen-Bahn from Braunschweig to Hanover was rather disappointing, as you would expect from regional trains, not much emphasis was placed on punctuality and we left Braunschweig about 20 minutes late. The train was also quite overcrowded and many people had to stand. In addition, one of the toilets was broken, which gave off an unpleasant odour.
The only thing I wouldn't criticise about this journey is the excellent price and the extremely helpful staff.
Advantages
SpeedDisadvantages
PunctualityOverloadHygieneEquipmentThe journey between Braunschweig and Hanover on the Westfalen-Bahn was, as on the outward journey, a disappointment. Even if you're travelling for less than an hour, the journey can be really long. The train was heavily overcrowded and most passengers were unable to enjoy a seat, and there were also some defects in the equipment, such as the toilets, which raises general questions about the hygiene and condition of the train.
