I travelled by train and it was comfortable and fast. The train was unfortunately relatively full over New Year, but you still got seats. The staff on the train were very stressed as there were so many people on the train. There was wifi and some power sockets that worked. The toilets were unfortunately not so clean, but there was disinfectant on the train and I didn't find it too expensive in terms of price, you just have to book it in good time.

I travelled to Berlin over New Year and I thought the train was a bit full, but you could still find a seat. There was wifi on the train, which I found very good, the staff were very nice on the train, some sockets didn't work at all. Unfortunately, the toilets weren't that clean, but there was sanitiser for everyone on the train, which I thought was good. The train arrived on time.
