Little space for luggageNo on-board bistroDelay of 10 minutesI didn't have to change trains from Dresden to Cologne. So it didn't bother me that the train arrived in Cologne 10 minutes late. The inside of the train was very clean. However, I have to criticise the fact that there was hardly any storage space for my luggage. The train also had no on-board bistro, which is very bad for an 8-hour journey. The ticket price, on the other hand, was reasonable. The facilities and comfort were good. Next time I'd rather choose a connection with the ICE.

The friendly train crew also contributed to the relaxed atmosphere. The train arrived on time, which was of course a big plus. The only downside was that the air conditioning was set a little too high and it got quite warm over time.

There was a bistro but it was only open for a limited time. I found the price-performance ratio to be okay. A few more power sockets would have been handy

No on-board bistroLong delayI had to take the Intercity train from Dresden to Cologne, but it wasn't very full. The good thing was that I didn't have to change trains. Unfortunately, there was a delay of 30 minutes from Leipzig due to a points fault. However, the seats on the train were very comfortable and the sockets and internet worked perfectly. The temperature was also quite pleasant. What bothered me is that there is no on-board bistro on Intercity trains. I thought the price of the ticket was justified for the long journey. Overall, I can recommend the journey.

I am on the safe side with a power bank in case there is no charging option. WC cleanliness in the trains should be improved. The journey started early in the morning. Connection best and shortest route.
