Disadvantages
IconWas loud on the train
Train connection from Hanover to Celle. I travelled from Hanover to Celle in a well-maintained and clean ICE. It had functioning toilets and very nice staff on board. Unfortunately, it was very noisy in the compartment because of alcoholic guests. I booked my ticket conveniently via app. There was an on-board restaurant. I could use wifi and power sockets without any problems. I didn't have to change trains as it was a direct connection. The train left on time.
Advantages
IconEquipment sufficient
IconAnnouncements available
Disadvantages
IconChaos due to train separation
IconHigh utilisation
IconDefective air conditioner
IconNo staff available
It was very chaotic in the S-Bahn on the journey. First, one part of the train had to be disconnected because the doors were defective and then the air conditioning in the second part of the train did not work. It was also very crowded and the train was delayed accordingly. The cleanliness, on the other hand, was good and announcements worked, as did the wifi. However, there was no contact person on the train as there was no ticket inspector. In short, it was not a relaxed journey!
Advantages
IconInformation announcements available
IconSeats comfortable
IconCleanliness
Disadvantages
Iconshort delay
The S-Bahn from Hanover to Celle went very quickly and best of all without changing trains. The train left on time, but was 10 minutes late on the journey because there was a goods train in front of us. We were informed of this, which I thought was very good. The cleanliness on the train was also really good and the seats were comfortable. The internet worked and there were enough sockets for charging. All in all, despite the slight delay, it was a great trip.
Advantages
IconComfort
Disadvantages
IconNone
On 6 April, I travelled with the ICE 1574 from Hannover Hauptbahnhof to Celle Hauptbahnhof. The journey was very pleasant and only takes about 20 minutes. The ICE was on time both on departure and on arrival. The ticket was also very fairly priced, so I can only recommend the trip.
Advantages
IconFast travel
Disadvantages
IconSomewhat unhygienic
The journey took place on ICE 881, which travelled from Hamburg to Nuremberg, and also included the Hanover-Celle route. The train was a bit unkempt and also a bit unhygienic. The journey between Hanover and Celle passed very quickly. I had made a reservation and used it. However, the train was not really full. The train had wifi, which I also used.
Advantages
IconUncomplicated payment
IconPunctuality
Disadvantages
IconCleanliness of the seating area
The train journey from Hanover to Celle was carried out on time. I was able to book my ticket online in advance and pay easily with Paypal. Due to the short journey, I cannot evaluate the catering offer. Although I did not reserve a seat in advance, I was able to get a seat quickly. The first seat was unfortunately dirty with crumbs and rubbish. However, due to the low occupancy rate, I quickly found a clean seat.
Advantages
IconSpeed
Disadvantages
IconNone
As on the outward journey to Hanover, the return journey from Hanover to Celle was also very pleasant. For a relatively low price, you travel the short distance by ICE very quickly and pleasantly. Hygiene and cleanliness on the train were very good and despite the upcoming Easter weekend, the train was not too busy. Without a seat reservation, you still got a seat, but for the duration of only about 20 minutes, you could have stood without any problems. Overall, I am very satisfied with the price-performance ratio of the journey from Hanover main station to Celle main station and would also recommend this journey. Especially during rush hour, you can reach your destination much faster with the ICE than if you were to use your car.
Advantages
IconComfortable
Disadvantages
IconToilet defective
The journey was very pleasant. The train staff were friendly to us throughout the journey. Power sockets were available, as was wifi, but it didn't always work well. Unfortunately, one toilet was out of order, but that didn't matter on the short journey. We arrived at our destination station in Celle on time.
Advantages
IconClean toilet
Disadvantages
IconSocket had loose contact
The wifi worked perfectly and I was also able to watch films. Power sockets were available, but I found one with a loose connection. The seats were comfortable and it was quiet during the journey. The staff were again very friendly. Both the toilets and the rest of the car I was in were clean. The journey took 18 minutes and there were no changes.
Advantages
IconPunctual
Disadvantages
IconToilet defective
The journey was very pleasant. Power sockets were available, but they didn't always work and there were a few dead spots. The staff were friendly to us throughout. Unfortunately, one toilet was out of order. We arrived in Celle on time.
