Advantages

fast ticket control

Disadvantages

People blocked the corridors with suitcases

Toilet was unhygienic

There were a lot of people travelling from Frankfurt to Fulda with suitcases blocking the aisle. The occupancy rate on the train was normal and the cleanliness in the passenger compartment was OK. However, the toilets were very unhygienic. The toilet seat in particular could have been cleaned before the start of the journey. The seats, on the other hand, were very comfortable and fully equipped. The staff were friendly and carried out ticket checks quickly. Despite being full, the train was on time and it was a pleasant journey.

Advantages

Simplicity

Disadvantages

Many delays

There was wifi on the train and sockets at every seat, which worked perfectly. The seats are very comfortable and you have a lot of space, you can even recline them. When it is crowded on the train, it is also a bit noisy, but many also stick to the quiet area. The service is very friendly and helpful. It is also very clean everywhere. Unfortunately, the trains are often unpunctual. But still, the price-performance ratio is good.

Advantages

Neat train

Disadvantages

None

I travelled from Karlsruhe to Göttingen with IC 2374. The route calls at Frankfurt and Fulda. Although it is not an ICE, the journey between Frankfurt and Fulda takes just under an hour. The train travelled the route around midday and was moderately busy. There were still enough seats available. Visually, the train was in good condition both inside and out. The train was on time. There was nothing to criticise about the journey.
