Advantages
IconFavourable ticket
IconPunctual
Disadvantages
IconStuffy air in the train
IconThe train is old
The price for the train ticket was good, but I think the train is relatively old. The air in the train was insufficient and it was very stuffy as the ventilation in the train did not work. The seats have little room for movement and when it is full it could be uncomfortable. My journey was not fully booked and fortunately it was not full. And there was no delay, departure and arrival were on time.
Advantages
IconCheap ticket
IconSafe journey
IconPunctual journey
Disadvantages
IconNone
I am very happy with my journey to Kassel and can only recommend it. The ticket is very cheap and cheaper than other means of travel, even if you book spontaneously. The train is visibly older, but well cleaned and tidy. The seats are a bit cramped and it is advisable to reserve the next seat when booking to ensure there is enough space. The journey was quiet and there were no disruptions or delays. Everything was great and recommendable. We would be happy to travel again.
Advantages
IconSeating comfort and equipment in order
IconVery good cleanliness on the train and in the toilets
IconAcceptable volume
Iconno delay, no change
Disadvantages
IconNo staff
IconNo luggage rack
The train from Fulda to Kassel wasn't too full, so the noise level on the train was acceptable. The furnishings had also been perfect here and the seating comfort was relatively good. Unfortunately, there was no luggage rack, so I had to put my bags in the foot area, which restricted my legroom. The train had not been delayed and I did not have to change trains. I also found the cleanliness on the train and in the toilets very good. Unfortunately, there was no staff here, so there was no ticket inspection. Otherwise, everything else was fine.
