Advantages
IconVery nice trip
IconEverything great except wc
Disadvantages
IconThe toilets were not as clean as they should be
I travelled from Cuxhaven to Bremerhaven last week on Saturday, the journey was really pleasant. The journey is really short, it took 30 to 40 minutes. The people who were on the train were very nice. Unfortunately there's no wifi on train EVB RE33, but the seats were very clean and comfortable, the view was really incredible, it's definitely worth a trip. The only downside is that the toilets were not as clean as they should be.
