ChangeoverThe train journey was pleasant and fast. The price was also okay. The staff were nice and the ticket control worked without any problems. There was internet, power sockets, comfortable seats and clean toilets. The rest of the trains were also clean. Unfortunately, there was no direct connection, so a change was necessary. This worked without any problems, but was still annoying. We still arrived at our destination on time.
Advantages

Delay announced, did not materialiseMy journey on the regional train from Hanover Central Station to Bremerhaven arrived relatively punctually and was very positive throughout. The train was moderately busy, so you could relax enough on the journey and the staff didn't seem as stressed as on fuller journeys. The facilities were excellent as always, with comfortable seats, fold-down tables and wifi on board. In my opinion, there is also nothing to complain about in terms of journey time or price.
