Advantages
Friendly staffSeats very comfortable with plenty of legroomCleanliness and hygieneDisadvantages
High capacity utilisation and noisy atmosphereDelay of 20 minutesFrom Delitzsch to Leipzig I was able to use the S-Bahn. However, this was very busy. The noise level on the train also suffered greatly as a result. However, the S-Bahn had sufficient power sockets, a stable internet connection and hygienic toilets. The train was also very clean. I found the seats very comfortable as they offered plenty of legroom. The staff on the train were also very friendly. Unfortunately, the S-Bahn had been delayed by 20 minutes, so I missed my connecting train at Leipzig main station. However, I didn't have to change trains here.
