Hello everyone! I recently took a trip with DB from Dortmund to Oberhausen. The price was very good. Only 55 €. The volume on the train was reasonable, so I was very relaxed on the whole train journey. The wifi connection was excellent. My mobile phone was able to connect to the internet quickly. The service was also very nice and above all friendly and highly interested in the questions or concerns of the guests. However, there were several transfer necessities. This of course made the journey not so easy. The seats were not comfortable and well maintained. In addition, the train did not arrive in Oberhausen on time. Overall, however, it was a good trip that I can recommend to everyone.
