The train journey from Emden to Bremen leads through a quiet, sometimes idyllic landscape, which is particularly relaxing. The train was on time and offered solid facilities, which made for a pleasant journey. However, the service on board left a lot to be desired. There was no dining car at all. The cleanliness in some carriages could also be better. For travellers who value a direct and scenic route, this connection is nevertheless recommended.
