My train journey from Düsseldorf to Hanover was really positive overall. The best part was how reliable and clean the train was. Everything ran smoothly and the cleanliness on the train made for a pleasant travelling atmosphere. Unfortunately, there was a signal malfunction on the route, which caused a short delay. This was annoying, but the train staff kept us well informed and the delay was not too bad. Overall, my train journey from Düsseldorf to Hanover was really pleasant. The reliability and cleanliness of the train definitely made up for the small incident with the signal malfunction. I would definitely recommend this train ticket.

The train journey from Düsseldorf to Hanover on the ICE 1916 was a mixed experience for me, while some positive aspects such as punctuality and comfort stood out, these were diminished by shortcomings in cleanliness and catering. The choice of food was limited. The wifi on board was unreliable, which was problematic for me as a traveller who relies on an internet connection during the journey.

We travelled from Düsseldorf to Hanover on the IC 1916. The journey was pleasant because it didn't take 3 hours. It was clean in the train, even the toilets were clean. The service was good, there was currywurst in the on-board bistro. The train left on time and also arrived in Hanover on time. There was no wifi on the train. That wasn't so bad because we were travelling as a group. I can recommend this connection.
Advantages

IconPleasant
Disadvantages
IconExpensive for bookings at short notice
The journey from Düsseldorf Central Station to Hanover Central Station by ICE takes two and a half hours without changing trains. The journey on the ICE is comfortable and the wifi is very good on this route. Unfortunately, the on-board bistro is rarely available on this route and when it is, it is closed. Of the last five train journeys on this route, four were on time. Considering the alternatives (bus or car), the train is the best choice for me on this route.

The train connection was very punctual, which made my journey very pleasant. The price was fair and accessibility was given. Cleanliness and wifi were excellent, but there could be more power sockets. The toilet facilities were a little unclean and the service could be improved. The seats were a little small, but still comfortable. Overall a pleasant option for travelling.
Advantages

IconHigh prices in the bistro
The journey from Düsseldorf main station to Hanover was by IC train. The journey took less than three hours, which I would describe as quick. The train reached Hanover without any delays. There was a bistro on board where you could get delicious food and drinks, albeit at a somewhat overpriced price, in my opinion. Apart from that, the train was well equipped and very clean.
