Disadvantages
IconThe ticket was a bit expensive
Overall, I'm quite happy with the trip. The only downside was that the ticket wasn't very cheap. Otherwise, I can report that it was really very clean and hygienic. The staff at the station were very nice and I found my way around easily. One particularly positive thing that struck me was the excellent wifi during the journey. Perfect except for the price.

Sylt Shuttle Plus

About
Sylt Shuttle Plus was a unique passenger train service operated by Deutsche Bahn (DB) that connected Niebüll and Westerland on the island of Sylt, Germany. Unlike the primary Sylt Shuttle, which transports vehicles, the "Plus" service was designed for passengers without cars. It involved coupling a Class 628 diesel multiple unit to the rear of the car shuttle train. Introduced in 2015, the Sylt Shuttle Plus gained notoriety for its often-empty carriages and longer travel times compared to regional trains, leading to its nickname "ghost train." The service was discontinued in December 2024.
