Disadvantages
IconCosts
The Görlitz-Dresden train route is a direct connection operated by a regional provider. The trains are equipped to a high standard. There is a power socket at every seat. The quality of the seats and noise levels in the compartments are comparable to those of competitor trains, and the service can be rated as very high, for example tickets can also be purchased directly on the train, both in cash and by card. Hygiene facilities are good. In my case, punctuality was very high. The friendliness of the staff should be emphasised.
