NoneI am absolutely delighted with my journey from Hanover to Leipzig. The ticket was very cheap and for a few euros, you can book an extra seat, which I like to take advantage of, as the seats on the train are cramped and can sometimes be full. I therefore had enough space and was able to travel undisturbed. The train was already full, but not too loud or noisy. The staff were nice and the journey was on time. Nothing to complain about and praise the price for such a great journey.
