At the beginning everything went according to plan, the train left on time and there were no problems. However, we were stopped halfway through the journey because there were technical problems. At least the staff were still quite nice and always remained polite. At one point the train itself was very quiet, but the passengers were also very quiet and I was able to enjoy the rest of the journey. The price was ok.

Cons

The train from Cologne to Aachen arrived on time. The train was accessible, with lifts, ramps and wide doors for people with reduced mobility. The seats on the train were clean, well-padded and comfortable. The toilet facilities were tidy and smelled fresh. There was a small bistro on the train which offered fresh coffee and various snacks. The train staff were always nearby and friendly. I really liked this train connection as it was fast, punctual and cheap.
Pros
IconFree places
IconFast
Cons
IconUnfortunately unhygienic
The train connection arrived late. This disrupted my daily routine. There were enough free seats on the train, but they looked very unhygienic, the upholstery was almost slippery because of the dirt on it, the floor and the window panes were also very dirty. The toilet facilities were well equipped, but in my opinion not hygienic enough, a little better cleaning would be desirable. The train connection was fast, so it could make up some time. The price-performance ratio was right, so I give this train connection three stars.
