Today I took the Intercity (IC) train from Dresden to Hanover. The train had clean toilets and the compartment was very quiet. I was able to charge my mobile phone from the sockets at the seat and used the wifi. I bought a water in the dining car. Before I started my journey, I booked my ticket via the Deutsche Bahn app. I could have made a seat reservation there. It was a direct connection, so I didn't have to change trains. The staff were nice and did a job. At my seat the dustbin was very full, that as a small criticism. But otherwise everything was very satisfactory this time.

NoneI am absolutely delighted with my train journey from Dresden to Hanover. The ticket was very cheap and you can book a seat and even an extra seat for just a few euros. I did this and therefore had enough space and was able to travel undisturbed. The staff were nice and chatty, which I think is great, because for me there is nothing worse than grumpy train attendants. The train was visibly older, but still clean and pleasantly ventilated. I arrived on time and have nothing to complain about. Recommended and I'm happy.
