IconFriendly staff
IconWith on-board bistro
Disadvantages
IconTrain was very dirty
IconTrain was very crowded and noisy
On this trip, no change had been necessary and it was also quite quick, as the train was not delayed. However, the train was dirty and very crowded. Accordingly, the noise level in the passenger compartment was very high. There was an on-board bistro and the staff was very friendly. The seats were comfortable and the train was well equipped.
Advantages
IconNo high utilisation and pleasant volume
IconNo changes and no delays
IconComfortable seats with very good equipment
Disadvantages
IconNo ticket inspection
IconToilets very unhygienic
I was able to travel between Duisburg and Düsseldorf on the S-Bahn without having to change trains. The seats were also comfortable as usual and there were power sockets at every seat and a stable internet connection. Unfortunately, there was no staff on board, which is why there was no ticket inspection. The corridors were very clean, but I didn't find the toilets very hygienic. However, the train was not very busy or loud, which is why I found it very relaxing. As a result, I arrived at my destination very punctually.
