Very loud in the passenger compartment due to many familiesThe train from Essen to Gelsenkirchen wasn't that full, but it was very noisy as there were a lot of families on the train. Apart from that, the seats were very comfortable and the train had power sockets and an internet connection. The seats and aisles were clean and I found the toilets to be hygienic. The staff here were friendly and made good and informative announcements, which were very competent, especially when it came to connections. This train was very punctual and I didn't have to change trains. All in all, it was a good journey!
