IconMore sockets would be better
IconNot on time / late
First of all, Deutsche Bahn can work on punctuality and offer a few more sockets in the ICE! The train ride itself was very relaxing and a complete pleasure! There was enough legroom, the wifi was also very stable and even at 300 km/h the train didn't shake very much. The ticket was not cheap, but I had booked at short notice, so they could work on the capacity utilisation and offer more deals. The service was great, the staff were very helpful. Everything was also clean, so I'd be happy to come back, especially as the ICE is much faster than the car!
