The train connection was very punctual overall.

Almost everything had been fine on the journey from Düren to Cologne. The train was clean and had plenty of power sockets and a stable internet connection. The staff here were also very friendly and carried out a quick and uncomplicated ticket inspection. The seats here were also comfortable and there was plenty of legroom and even a rubbish bin in almost every row of seats, which were emptied. The train was also on time and I didn't have to change trains. The only thing I didn't like here were the passengers, who were very loud despite the low occupancy rate and I felt disturbed.

I use this train connection very often, it costs me less than travelling by car, the only disadvantage is that the train is often overcrowded. Its positive aspects include its punctuality and very good value for money. There are few free seats because of the crowds, but the journey doesn't take too long. The toilet facilities are often occupied, but otherwise they are well equipped. The train connection is very fast and I always arrive at my destination on time 90% of the time, which is why I recommend this train connection.

All in all, the journey was satisfactory. However, the track was changed at the beginning without an announcement. It could only be viewed in the app. The seats were outdated and not very comfortable. Although the weather was good and it was foreseeable that many people would use the connection, there was only one carriage. The ticket validation (independently online) worked, which was very convenient. Overall, good value for money.
