Hello all. A short time ago I took the DB from Cologne to London. The price was very cheap and acceptable compared to airline tickets to London. The staff was very friendly and have served well your customers. The seats were very comfortable and clean as well as well maintained. The toilets were also very clean, of course I was pleased about that. What didn't go well was mainly the wifi connection. It was very poor. The volume in the train was so high and I could not relax at all. In addition, there were several transfer necessities, which I also did not necessarily find so good. Overall, a good train trip with Deutsche Bahn.
