DelayService/CommunicationThe journey from Frankfurt Airport to Mannheim with ICE 1107 left me with an ambivalent impression. While the train quality and comfort were satisfactory, these positive aspects were diminished by the repeated delays and lack of communication from the train staff. It would be desirable for such problems to be better managed and for passengers to experience a more pleasant journey.

Somewhat unpunctualThe journey from Frankfurt airport to Mannheim station was on ICE 1107, in second class. I did not reserve a seat, but this was not necessary as the train was not at all full.
