I travelled by train from Gronau to Münster in March this year. The departure was delayed because the train was 30 minutes late. Unfortunately, this time was not made up during the journey. The cleanliness on the train really left a lot to be desired. The toilets were so dirty that you could not and would not use them. The wifi was available, but you couldn't connect. I can't say whether this was due to my mobile phone or the wifi of the train. The journey was quite quick and the seats were comfortable. The train staff were very friendly. It was good value for money, but I would not travel short distances by train again.
Advantages
IconVery uncomplicated
Disadvantages
IconMay be delayed
My train journey from Gronau to Münster was simply fantastic, as soon as I entered the train I noticed the modern equipment, the wifi on board worked perfectly so that I could use my travel time productively and stay online in a relaxed way, the comfort was outstanding, the seats were comfortable and ergonomically designed, which made the long journey extremely pleasant. In addition, the compartments were clean and well air-conditioned, which was especially pleasant on the hot days. The service was exemplary. I was particularly impressed with the value for money of the Deutschland Ticket for the comparatively low price. By providing a high-quality train journey, with numerous amenities, the Deutschlandticket also allowed me to plan my journey flexibly and have limited mobility
Advantages
IconTrue approach
IconNice staff
Disadvantages
IconLoud guests
Very good train ride, nice staff, wifi and a power socket at the seat, plus the food was very tasty, the seats were a bit dusty and the guests were a bit noisy. Despite all this, it was a good trip, I didn't book the trip, but I still got a seat, the prices were okay as well as the punctuality.
Advantages
IconNot very expensive
Disadvantages
IconOften expect delays or cancellations
Wifi and power sockets are not always available, seating is mostly comfortable. The food is good, but a bit expensive. The staff are nice and the toilets are okay. Unfortunately, punctuality is not always guaranteed and sometimes you have to change trains a lot. The price always depends on how early you buy the ticket, but I find the prices quite reasonable. The volume is also pleasant.

Last year I took a train journey with DB from Gronau to Münster in December. I was very pleased to book a trip with Deutsche Bahn as usual. The service was very friendly. You took all my concerns with great interest. You also greeted as well as saw me off with a big smile on your face. The price of this train journey was very fair compared to many other tickets from Gronau to Münster. In addition, we arrived in Münster on time and there was no need to change trains. However, the meals available on the train were not very tasty. There was also a very poor wifi connection. My mobile phone and iPad could not connect to the wifi. The toilets were very clean, sanitised and hygienic. You could find disinfectant everywhere. All in all, a very good trip that I can heartily recommend to everyone.

The train journey from Gronau to Münster was one of the best I have ever made. The train arrived on time and was not overcrowded. The seats were nice, warm and comfortable. The wifi had four bars, which I think is very good for a train journey. The only downside is the price, it's more expensive than average.
Advantages
IconNice staff
Disadvantages
IconPoor wifi
I collected both positive and negative aspects of this train journey. When leaving, the train was only 2 minutes late. Arrival was also quite punctual, with only 5 minutes delay. The staff there were very nice. However, it has to be said that the wifi there was pretty bad and that you were often interrupted by the wifi. So the connection to the wifi was not stable. The toilets were very clean. The seats were also very clean. The price for the train ride was also very reasonable. That's why I can only recommend this train trip.
Advantages
IconIt was very quiet
Disadvantages
IconCleanliness
On the whole, I liked the trip very much. It was pleasantly quiet and there were no difficulties during the journey. The only negative thing was the lack of cleanliness, especially in the toilets. The price-performance ratio is pretty good. Overall, I can recommend the trip.
Advantages
IconMore pleasant than driving early in the morning
IconToilet available
Disadvantages
IconToilets are often disgusting
IconTrain often has delays
IconYou wait a long time and cancellations are often only announced just before the start of the journey.
IconDelays are normal
IconLoud train
Since I had to commute daily because of my training at the time, I know almost every time of day with this train. And depending on the time, of course, the comfort and the volume varies. Most of the time (early in the morning) it really worked. Also between 8/10 and midday. However, after school ends and at peak times absolutely stressful. There are no power sockets, the seats are uncomfortable to the max. Often too few compartments and the tickets are also completely overpriced.
Advantages
IconFast
IconSimple
IconEffective
Disadvantages
IconGives headaches
IconToo many cancellations
IconToo many delays
Lack of information in the event of delays, overcrowded trains at peak times, need for improvement in terms of accessibility at stations, sometimes high ticket prices compared to alternative modes of transport, outdated equipment on older trains. Punctuality problems, unclear announcements, limited seat availability, customer service in need of improvement, occasional lack of cleanliness on trains.
Advantages
IconFast
Disadvantages
IconNone
The journey went by quite quickly and was very pleasant as I didn't have to change trains and the train was on time. The train was very quiet and the seats were comfortable. Despite the short journey, there was an on-board bistro, but I can't say what the food was like as I didn't try it. Otherwise everything was kept very clean and the toilets seemed clean to me. I think the value for money was good.
Advantages
IconComfort
Disadvantages
IconNone
The trip was a very positive experience. The wifi was super fast. Apart from that, the staff were always helpful. I can't fault anything in terms of hygiene either. Everything was perfectly clean. The seats were also very comfortable and cosy. The journey took about an hour.
