All in all, I am very happy with my journey from Frankfurt to Erfurt. The ticket was good value and the ICE was comfortable. Unfortunately, the train was a bit dirty and the conductor a bit unfriendly. We were also a little late at our destination. All in all, I would book the trip again.

I travelled second class on the ICE 1537 from Frankfurt to Erfurt. It was a pleasant journey without delays. I personally found the journey time of just under 2 hours quite short. The train was tidy and clean, and it was a relatively new train. The seats were comfortable and more ergonomic. I found it a pity that the wifi was not available for unknown reasons. Otherwise, I can recommend this connection.
