Yesterday I travelled from Cologne main station to Wuppertal main station with the ICE 2573 and was very enthusiastic about the journey. If I had travelled by car at the same time, I would certainly have been on the road for over 1 hour. Due to the traffic, thanks to the train, I was on the road for just 30 minutes and also directly in the city centre of Wuppertal. In terms of price, the journey was absolutely fair at around €14 per trip. The ICE was also clean and on time.

I travelled from Cologne to Wuppertal by train. Unfortunately, the train arrived late, which naturally put me in a bad mood. Once I arrived on the train, however, I was pleasantly surprised. The train made a clean and well-kept impression on me. The sanitary facilities were also usable. The wifi worked great and was easy to set up. The journey was highly recommended.

My wife and I wanted to go on a city trip to Wuppertal and take the suspension railway. There are very good connections from Cologne to Wuppertal, when they run. Of course, it was typical of Deutsche Bahn that the train was quite late and therefore very crowded. Nevertheless, the train was very well maintained and you could sit down after a while. However, some of the seats were very dirty. Nevertheless, we really like using Deutsche Bahn because it's a very cheap way to travel.

I was very satisfied with the journey and have nothing to complain about. The journey was very short and pleasant. I was given a free, clean, comfortable seat with a view of the countryside. I was also very pleased that the train was punctual, as you would expect otherwise
