Seats with good equipmentOn time and without changeFriendly staffWith on-board bistroDisadvantages
Train was very dirtyTrain was very crowded and noisyOn 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
No high utilisation and pleasant volumeNo changes and no delaysComfortable seats with very good equipmentDisadvantages
No ticket inspectionToilets very unhygienicI 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.
