The journey from Düsseldorf to Hanover was on the IC 1916. I travelled second class and did not reserve a seat, which was not necessary. Overall, the journey was very pleasant and so I have nothing negative to say about it. The comfort was great, the seats were comfortable and convenient. The service was also good, as the staff were friendly and helpful. The train was not delayed. On board it was clean and hygienic.

The journey from Düsseldorf to Hanover with the ICE 1916 cannot be faulted in any way. It was a journey in second class. Although it was not an ICE, the journey time was surprisingly short at just under 2.5 hours. The service on board was great, with coffee served to passengers by the staff. In addition, the train was on time. It was also very clean on board, which also applies to the toilets.

Pros

Punctuality

Cons

Full

My train journey from Düsseldorf to Hanover was really great overall and I would like to share my impressions. The best thing about this trip was definitely the punctuality and reliability of the train. The train left Düsseldorf exactly on time and arrived in Hanover on time as well. This made planning the trip really easy and avoided stress. However, there was one small downer: the train was quite full. This meant that it got a bit cramped, especially during rush hour. Nevertheless, the positive aspects of the trip far outweighed this small drawback. Overall, my train journey from Düsseldorf to Hanover was really pleasant. The punctuality and reliability of the train make this connection a really good option for travellers between these cities. It might be a good idea to book your tickets in advance to avoid full occupancy.

The trip was a while ago, but I can still remember it clearly. You had a great view, the staff was very nice and you had enough legroom, which I liked the most. The ride took a little longer, which we didn't mind. There was a little delay at the end, but otherwise there was nothing negative.

The journey was normal. I didn't have wifi, but I had power sockets. The seats were very uncomfortable and so was the noise. It was so loud that you couldn't even sleep. The food was good though, as the staff were also very nice. I had a reservation option and I got the information as well. The toilets were very clean and I didn't have to change trains. The train was on time and the price was very good. Price-performance ratio is good.

Your contributed greatly to the pleasant feeling of well-being. The journey time of less than 3 hours was also great. The train left Düsseldorf on time and also arrived in Hanover on time. The service and cleanliness of the train should also be mentioned.

Pros

Equipment of the train

Personnel

Hygiene

Passenger density

Cons

Possibly the price

The connecting journey on the ICE from Düsseldorf to Hanover was also an extremely positive example of a journey on Deutsche Bahn. The low passenger density was particularly noticeable here, which made for an extremely pleasant atmosphere. Throughout the entire journey, the facilities both at the seats and in the train in general, such as the on-board facilities and toilets, were in excellent condition. The only point of criticism could possibly be the price, but in my opinion this is completely justified for the service provided.
