No negative propertiesI wanted to travel from Augsburg to Berlin and as this was not possible directly due to a road works, I had to travel via Göttingen. In Göttingen, I had 8 minutes to change trains myself, which was perfectly sufficient for me. I reached my train from Göttingen to Berlin on time and it also left Göttingen on time. The train was quite full, but luckily I had booked a seat before departure. Otherwise, the train was very well cleaned and I felt very comfortable on the train itself.

Nothing to noteI can only give my journey from Göttingen to Berlin an absolutely positive rating. We arrived on time and the train was also pleasantly air-conditioned. I think the seating is absolutely great - there is enough space for your personal belongings and you can also put your drink or laptop on the table. The train was very well cleaned and the rubbish bins at the seats were also emptied. All in all, a very good train journey - I would take it again at any time.

UtilisationAfter a successful change in Göttingen from the ICE874 to the ICE372, we travelled on to Berlin Central Station. And for a really great price, plus the internet worked really well, which is what you want. The general cleanliness at the seat and in the toilets was also adequate.
Only the occupancy rate was a little high, so the noise level was a little higher than normal, but everything was still within reason.
